TWO TETO MESSAGES
On Traction Consolidation Sent tJsSBtJS20SfoVallSil,,SaSSi 5
Councils by Mayor Gourley.
OPPOSED TO GIVING FRANCHISES
Without Any Consideration at ill Being
Offered to the City.
CONTRACTS MOT TET COMPLIED "WITH
As announced previously in The Dis
patch two veto messages from Mayor
Gourley were read in Councils yesterday,
and passed over the veto. The first one,
which was written February 8, and has
been sealed up in possession of President
Ford of Select Council ever since, is as
follows:
To the President and Members of Select Council:
Grarumur-1 respectfully return to your
honorable body without my approval an
ordinance entitled "An ordinance granting
tne Duquesne Traction Company the right
to enter upon, oooupy and use oertain streets
and highways, and supply motive power to
n'l operate certain passenger and street
railways," and known as Select Council File
2JO.S95.
II 1 understand the first section of tnis or
dinance rishtly, and there is hut one section
in it exclnsite of the repealing clause, it
grants tl-c Duquesne Traction Company
powers in relation to the Pittsburg. Oakland
and East Liberty Passenger Railway Com-
pany similar to the powers given the same
company regarding the Market Street Ball
way Company, the Craig Street Bailway
Company, the Highland Street Bailway Com
pany, the Wilkinsburg Street Bailway Com
pany and several other companies of a like
character, hy an ordinance So. 213 or Select
Council, granting the Duquesne Traction
Company righttoenterupon, use and occupy
certain streets, and passed by your honor
able body February 27, 1890.
Like the First Ordinance.
The first section of the ordinance which I
return to your honorable body is very simi
lar to the first section of the ordinance of
1S90, and. so far as I am able to determine, is
intended to confer similar powers, but
touching different companies. IT I am cor
rect in the interpretation of the ordinance,
then, in my Judgment, no necessity exists
for its passage. And why? Because section
S of the ordinance of February 27, 1890, au
thorizes the Duquesne Traction Company to
extend the powers conferred in section 1 to
other companies than those enumerated in
that ordinance.
-If," says this section, "the Duquesne
Traction Company shall hereafter at any
time contract with any other passenger or
street railway company or companies, to
furnish or supply power for the traction or
operation of cars over the railways of any
of said companies, which shall be con
structed with the consent of Councils, the
consent of the city is hereby given to suoh
future contract or contracts, and the said
Duquesne Traction, in order to enable it to
economically and conveniently carry out
such contract or contracts as it may here
after make, is hereby given, in, on, under,
over and along the streets, lanes, alleys or
highways of this city, included within the
rontesof any and all such companies, and
the branches and extensions thereof, and
which shall be constructed as aforesaid, all
the privileges and powers given to it in the
first section of this ordinance, on the streets,
lanes, alleys and highways therein referred
to.
let me suggest that you refer to the first
section of the ordinance of 1380 and compare
with the first section of this ordinanoe. To
me the powers enumerated seem practically
identical, and, if so, section 3, Just quoted, is
certainly sufficiently broad to enable the
Duquesne Traction Company to extend
those powers to any other oompany with
which it may enter into contract.
The Promised Expenditure for Paving.
Section 5, or the ordinance of February 27,
1890, is as follows: '-The said Duquesne Trac
tion Company, in consideration of the rights
and privileges hereby granted, shall, within
30 days after the passage and approval of
this ordinance, by a writing executed under
its corporate seal,duyattested by the proper
officers of said company, and to be filed in
the office of the City Controller, bind itself
that there shall be expended in good laith
within two years from tho date of the pas
sage and approval of this ordinance, not less
than twelve thousand five hundred (12,500)
dollars per mile in paving, with block stone,
in manner as provided in a general ordi
nance, each ana every mile of single track
or any of the street railway companies
enumerated in section, 1 of the ordinance,
which shall be operated or upon which
motive power shall be supplied by the said
Duquesne Traction Company."
Such is the consideration given the city by
the Duquesne Traction Company lor the
rights and privileges conferred upon it by
the ordinance of February 27, 1890.
In this ordinance there is no consideration
whatever for the franchises sought except
that required by section 3 of the general
ordinance referred to, and whlob provides
lor paving between the tracks and one foot
outside thereof. And this work has already
been done by the companies occupying the
streets upon which the Duquesne "Traction
Company asks the right to enter for the pur
pose of constructing, maintaining and oper
ating motors, cables, electrical appliances,
etc
No Consideration to the City.
The ordinance gives the Duquesne Trac
tion Company absolutely unlimited power
above, on and under the streets occupied by
the Pittsburg and East Liberty Passenger
Bailway Company and the Central Transit
Company, provided consent of said com
panies is obtained, without any consider
ation whatever to the city. It is an exceed
ingly liberal measure, granting extensive
powers, and should, therefore, in my judg
ment, contain a provision requiring con
sideration of character. Very respectfully,
H. L Uoublet, Mayor.
The second veto is of an ordinance giving
the Pittsburg Traction Company rights of
way over the Duquesne Traction. It reads:
To the President and Members of Select Council:
Gestlehei I beg leave to return to your
honorable body without my approval, an
ordinance (& C. Xo. S0t granting the Pitts
burg Traction Company the right to enter
upon, occupy and use oertain streets and
highways and to supply motor power to and
operate certain passenger and street rail
ways. This ordinance authorizes the Pitts
burg Traction Company to enter upon, use
and occupy, with the consent of the respect
ive companies, all the streets occupied by
the Duquesne Street Bailway Company,
Craig Street Bailway Company, Highland
Street Bailway Company, Larimer Street
Bailway Companv, Wilkinsburg Street Bail
way Company, East End Street Bailway
Company, Howe Street Bailway Companv,
Grant Street Bailway Company, Central
Passenger Bailway Company, Market Street
Bailway Company, and several other com
panies of a like character. It authorizes the
company to construct, maintain and oper
ate upon any or all of said streets such
motors.cables, electrloal or other appliances
and necessary or con venlent apparatus and
mechanical fixtures by means of overhead
system, cable or otherwise, as said traction
company may at any time select for the
traction or operation of cars.
The Tory Broad Powers Granted.
It empowers said Pittsburg Traction Com
pany to construct, maintain and use such
condnits, cables and appliances as it may
deem proper for the application of cable
power, and also to erect such posts, poles,
supports or other devices as said traction
company may from time to time select to
support any overhead electric system for
the supply of motive power. It further
more authorizes the said Pittsburg Traction
Company to operate its cars upon any or all
the railways of companies already desig
nated. It L similar to the Duquesne Trac
tion Company ordinanoe, which I have Just
returned to your honorable body without
mv approval.
That ordinance grants the Duquesne Trac
tion Company unlimited rights, privileges
and franchises upon the streets ocoupled by
the Pittsburg and East Liberty Passenger
Bailway Company. This ordinanoe is in
tended to give the Pittsburg Traction Com
pany similar rights, privileges and fran
chises upon all the streets occupied by the
Duquesne Bailway and all its branches. The
ordinance as evidently drawn by an astnte
lawyer, who represented the Traction Com
pany and not the city of Pittsburg.
The measure is one-sided; it grants
the Traction Companv everything, but
gives the city nothing. It confers
on the company all the rights, pow
ers and privileges that it is possible for lan
guage to convey, upon many of the streets
of the cltyt but we search in vain for a word,
clause or section that provides for a consid
eration of any character. It will seem from
tho liberal manner in which the oidinancc
has been prepared, that the traction com
pany could, if it so desired, used even a loco
motive in the traction of its cars. All these
extensive rights and powers for nothing! I
know that It is claimed that this is a traffic
arrangement for the convenience of the gen
eral public Is it not rather a consolidation
or combination for the advantage of the
companies themselves or of the people
largely Interested in said companies?
That the first great consideration is the
interest of the companies will, I am sure,
become perfectly apparent by a careful ex-
J.UO
a
secondary consideration. The ordinances
are broad-ganged and comprenensive, em
bracing all the powers needed now, or that
may be required in the future. All this for
nothing! For the rights and privileges en
Joyed by the Duquesne Company upon the
streets or this city, that company bound
itself to expend, as a consideration, at least
$12,500 per mile in paving the streets upon
which Its tracks are laid.
Giving Something for Nothing.
It is proposed by this ordinance to give
the Pittsburg Traction Company all the
rights and privileges upon these streets, en
joyed by the Duquesne Traction Company
itself without any consideration. If those
franchises were worth $11600 a mile in pav
ing to the Duquesne Traction Company are
they not worth something to the Pittsburg
Traction Company! If they are a benefit to
the latter company, should not the company
be asked to give the .city some considera
tion in return? It cannot be asked to pavo
between the tracks nor can it be required to
keep the roadway in repair. That work the
Duquesne Traction Company has done or
has bound itself to do in the ordinances
under which it occupies the streets.
is ic right, therefore, is it Just to the city
to permit the Pittsburg Traction Company
to enjoy all the advantages which will
accrue to it from the use and occupancy of
all these streets without demanding from it
some equivalent? Valuable franchises ob
tained gratuitously from the city have been
used for the benefit and profit or private
individuals. Sometimes they have been
transferred to others for valuable consider
ations, but no benefits have accrued there
from to the cltv.
Is it not time, therefore, for the city to
firotect her own interests by Incorporating
n all ordinances granting valuable rights,
privileges and powers upon her streets to
individuals, companies or corporations,
suitable provisions requiring equitable con
siderations for the franchises given. The
poor man who drives his cart upon the
streets of our city is taxed for the privilege;
but it may be said that not $1 of revenue
passes into the treasury of the city from the
numerous street railway oompanles which
practically monopolize many of the most
important streets. True, they are a great
convenience to the general public, but the
people pay for the convenience. They are
money making enterprises. That is their
primary objeot, and tney should give the
city something for the privileges which are
to them a source of great profit.
Tours respectfully,
H. L Goublet, Mayor.
TO PROTECT THE RIVERS.
Suits to Be Brought at the Instance of the
Pittsbure Coal Exchange Bailway
Bridges Which Are Considered Objec
tionable. It is not generally known that a legal
fight of the first magnitude is on the stocks
and nearly ready to be launched. A Gov
ernment official informed a Dispatch re
porter that the Pittsburg Coal Exchange
had been quietly taking testimony for sev
eral months preparatory to entering suit
against the various railway companies that
have been impeding navigation by building
bridges over the Ohio and Monongahela
rivers. Be stated that the first objects of
attack wonld be the Panhandle Bailway
bridge, between Try and South First streets,
this city; the bridge at Steubenville and
one at Marietta. It is proposed to attempt
to force the widening of the channel piers
of all these bridges. That at Steubenville is
said to be the worst 5f the three; in fact,
the worst against which the Coal Exchange
must contend. It is alleged that the distance
between the piers, nominally 309 ieet, is so
curtailed by rip-rap between the piers that
it is but little over 200 feet and that the cur
rent sets in in a way that makes the guid
ance of a coal fleet exceedingly perilous.
The official states that while the law and
public opinion are on the side of the Coal
Exchange, the interest opposed is so power
ful as to make the issue of the contest
mighty interesting. He says the Govern
ment officials in charge of river and harbor
work are not taking any part at present, but
may be drawn in before the matter is
settled.
HO SYMPATHY FOB ALICE.
The Women of Memphis Do Not Believe
Miss Mitchell Is Insane.
K. C Gatch, a prominent "Wheeling Re
publican, registered at the Central Hotel
last evening. Mr. Gatch went hunting in
Tennessee about ten weeks ago, where he
was taken ilL He spent most of the time
convalescing in Memphis. He is very
much interested in the Alice Mitchell case,
and since the murder of Freda Ward oc
curred it has been the talk of the town.
The women of Memphis do not believe in
the insanity theory, and they believe ihe
murderess should suffer the penalty of the
law. Mr. Gatch said he heard her" mother
was insane, and it is claimed Alice was
born in a madhouse.
Mr. Gatch is a great admirer of Blaine,
and he still thinks the Secretary will ac
cept the nomination if it is unanimously
offered to him. He .says somebody will
have to beat it into his head with a club
that Blaine is out of the race. He won't
believe it.
A New Canadian License Bill.
Ottawa, Out., Feb. 29. Special The
Government will almost immediately intro
duce a bill extending the operation of the
modus vivendi for another year, by which,
under certain conditions, American fishing
vessels may take out a license to enable
them to enter Canadian iorts for the trans
shipment of cargoes, the purchase of bait
and supplies. This applies to the Atlantic
fisheries.

A Mile or Flour a Day.
"We have been telling you that the ele
gant new mill of the Marshall Kennedy
Milling Company, of this city, where
Camellia flour is made, is milling 2,000 bar
rels a day. Did. you ever stop to consider
what this means? Here are a few interest
ing calculations: Two thousand barrels
placed end to end will reach within a few
feet of a mile. Placed in the form of a
column, it will build 15 towers as high as
the Court House tower. It will cover the
floor of a room over 100 feet square, and
will build a pyramid 40 feet along each base
by 40 feet high. It will make a trainload
of 16 cars. Rot taking into account the
weight of the water absorbed, it will make
314 000 loaves of bread, weighing 20 ounces
each. Allowing one loaf to four men, it
will feed an army of 1,256,000 soldiers. If
one woman can 'knead 20 loaves at once, it
would require 16,700 bakers to "work up
2,000 barrels at a baking. There are many
other interesting calculations that might be
made, but these are enough to convince vou
there is a tremendous demand for Camellia
flour. Do you think there would be such a
demand if it was not a superior flour? One
that has now the confidence of the people
who use it. Ask your grocer for a trial
sack.

MILLIONAIRE'S GUARDED.
Special Watchmen for Klch Ken's Homes
Freeantlons Against Cranks Treble
Guards for Many of the "Wealthiest
Men In New York.
New York, .Feb. 29. ojiedal The
day. the crank "A. B. 33'i" threats against
Jay Gould were made pnblio early in Janu
ary, John D. Bookefeller engaged three
private watchmen to watch his house at 4
"West Fifty-fourth street, in turns of eight
hours each, all day and all night Betore
that he had a watchman at night, like many
others of the wealthy residents of the neigh
borhood. Indeed, some of them have a
watchmen on duty at all hours, so that he is
only following the fashion.
Mr. Bockefeller, like all notoriously rich
men, receives many begging letters and
letters from cranks, but he says there was
no especial incentive of this kind that led
to setting so strict a watch upon his house.
The reason for employing watchmen was
that he was out of town frequently, and
that the" family felt morr secure with a
watchman within call.
Like Mr. Bockefeller, Jay Gould has
three special policemen. Colonel Elliott
F. Shepard hired a six-foot Irishman to
watch his premises. Mr. Sloane, next door,
has a man, too. In front of John B.
DosPassos' house to-night there stood a man
6 feet 8 inches tall. He was motionless as
the lamp-post on the next corner. He is
very thin," and his name is Frazer. Mrs.
Hicks-Lord employs James Fortner to pro
tect her property. H. W. Boberts does
patrol duty at Mrs. "William Astor's. Bus
sell Sage keeps Edward Farrell on hand.
Cornelius Yanderbilt entrusts the outside of
his house to the care of Thomas Xoughlln.
James Francis O'Brien looks after Fred
erick Vanderbilt Since the attempt of the
life of Dr. John Hall, Detective Charles
Gibson guards his house.
"William Bockefeller keeps a special
watchman, as do Colgate Hoyt, Charles
Broadway Bouss, George "W. Alexander,
Cyrus Field, John F. and Sidney Dillon,
Senator Brice, Bobert E. Bonnell, Dr. E. J.
Herrick and Alexander Maitland. "When
receptions are given by any of these people
the number of special men is increased. The
joint receptions given by the Shepards and
Sloanes are attended by six private detec
tives. "While the ministers were holding
their meeting in Jay Gould's parlors, last
week, three special policemen guarded the
house. The private detective business has
become very brisk since Bussell Sage's ad
ventures. Has Enough of Indianapolis.
Charles Buthers was in the city yester
day, returning to Philadelphia from In
dianapolis. He undertook to drive a street
car during the strike, and was handled so
roughly that he was glad to escape with his
life. He says the people are in sympathy
with the strikers, and expects bloodshed be
fore the trouble is settled.
