The special order of the evening, being the bill granting certain priyile,es to tae Wash- ington, Alexandria and Georgetown Railroad Company. was taken up. ‘This bil! passed the oard of Common Coun- cif some time since, and was referred to a special committee in this board, which reported at back (February 19th) with certain proposed amendmen’*. Mr. Noyes moved other amend- ments to ‘i i. At the meeting en March 12th, Mr. Magruder, from the majority pf the special committee, moved to amend his origi- nal ameadment by substituting in lieu thereof two acditional sections. to be entitled sections fourth and fifth, embodying most of the pro- visions in the smendments offered by Mr. Noyes. : The first question in order was on the adop- tion of tLe amendments proposed by Mr. Noyes, as follows: And be it fnrther enacted, Thatthe Washing- ton, Georgetown and Alexandria Railway Company be required to erect a permanent,and commorious station-house and freight depot And be tt further enacted, That trains are pro- hibited from backing across any ersecting street, or from remaining at rest on any such street; and that the company shall not be per- mitted to Jay any sideling or switch across an intersecting street. And be it further enacted, That the Washing- ton, Alexandria, and Georgetown Railroad Company shall be required to fully protect the interests of the city in regard to rates of freight and travel, allowing no discrimimation to be made against it in favor of any other city or locality; and further that the company shall be required to make a publication of freight and assenger tariffs from Baltimore and from ashington to all points on and connecting with this road. And be it further enacted, That this Co a tion reserves to itself the right of deter- mining at what bours of the day or night said company shaji run their trains through the city; end that said company shall observe such future pgice regulations as may be en- Tporation. ther enacted, That in the event of he said Washington, Alexandria and Georgetown Raiiroad Company to comply with all the conditions of this a¢t within six months from the date of the passage of this att, and to pay such tax as this Corporation may trom lime to ume prescribe, then this act shail be null and youd. Mr. Noyes said that it had been announced by the chairman of the special committee, Mr. agruder, that the substitute amendments of the commiitee embraced the material points of his (Mr. Noyes’) amendments, but in looking over the committee’s substitute he found that it omitted several provisions that he thought essential for the protection of the city and cit- izens. The substitute omitted the following visions embraced in his amendments—i. ¢., ring the company to pave three feet each side of their track, the work to be done under the supervision of the city authorities; re- quiring the com y to lay and keep in repair proper footw at the respective street cross- ings of their requiring the company to lay the track in such manner as to enable ve- hbicles of all descriptions to cross the track at any point without difficnity: requiring the use ot dummy engines; requiring that the company shell ebserve such future police regulations as may be enacted by this Corporation; requiring & low rate of speed; prescribing that if the con- ditions of this act are not complied with, and such tax paid as may be levied by this Corpo- ration, then this act tobe null and void; striking cut all that portion of the bill giving permis- sion to cross the canal at 6th street. If per- Mission Was given to cress the canal, it would be requisite to require the company to provide accommodation for the public across the bridge in _ way of carriageways, as well as foot- walks. Mr. Magruder contended that the substitute covered ail material poiuts. He thought as low a rate of speed as three miles an hour not desirable. 1f dummy engines were used, it hifetys cit. ihe one to each car, and it would not rofitable to use them. Mr. Woyes said he noticed in a Northern pa- per thet the company were already getting dummy engines built for use here. Mr. Magruder said they were to be used in drawing trains between here and Alexandria. Mr. Noyes thought it wonld be a small train if composed of a single car. He understood there were dummy engines used ofa capacity to draw several cars. Mr. Magruder thought it was not ne to require that the work of paving should be cone under the direction of the city authori- tes; the company would find it for their own interest to attend to it properly: and with re- gerd to police regulations, the Corperation would always have the right to exercise con- trol over the road. He believed that requiring the company to lay their track on the grade of the street would be all that was requisite in ome that carriages might cross without diffi- culty, Mr. Noyes urged that the past mortifying history of the Corporation in regard to its dealings with this very road, required that we should carefully guard our rights in giving any new franchise. Mr. McCathran asked where the $90,000 re- ferred to in the bill was to come from. Mr. Magruder said that some years ago the Corporation advanced the notes of the old Wathington and Alexandria Railroad Compa- by for $60,000. That ind mess With inter- est, &c., nOW amown ADOUt S000; Through failure to guard Boron gf the inter- ests of the Corporation by those intrusted with the matter, the security received by the Cor- porabvon was defective, and every effort to re- cover the amount had failed. There was now an Opportunity to secure the money by this franchise. This was a new and different com- pany from the old one, with a new charter, and were not obliged to meet the obligations of the old company. Mr. McCathran said the amount was justly due the Corporation, and eught to have been paid. He was opposed to the arrangement. Mr. Magruder.— What will the gentleman sell the franchise for? Mr. McOathran reasserted his objections. He would not cell his vote. Mr. Gulick would sell his for 50 cents‘ each red every railroad coming into every street in the city. Mr. Bisgrader suggested that if Mr. McOagh- ran did not like the $90,000 clause he could Move to strike out that part of the bill. Mr. McCatbran spoke of the gentleman (Mr. M_) nursing the bill.

Mr. Noyes had no objection to getting the $30,000, but thought that past experience should make the Board careful in legisiating new, to avoid just such blundering and detective legis- lation as that admitted by the chairman of the special committee as haying characterized the former proceedings of the Corporation in con- nection with this road. Mr. A. Lioyd asked a suspension of the rules, toenable Mr. Stewart, of the company, who was present on behalf of the company, to lay his views before the Board.
