It Was Not Received with Favor by the Committee Other Amendments Offetetl to the Ordinance Granting" a Franchise to the Central Rapid Transit Company Which Were Adopted by the Committee Fran chise to Revert to the City After Fifty Years. Heleei Councilman ti. o'Mulley, of tlio Twentieth waul, wants three cenl slreel railway fares. He at tempted last night al n meeting' of the railway committee of Nolect coun cil to have approved an amendment to the Central Itapltl Transit, com pany's irani-hlsp ordinance providing Hint .'t thiee-cent fare bo the highest that the company shall charge. Tho other members wouldn't consider Mr. O'Mnlley'.s amendment seriously ami he left the meeting. Ho will offer tho amendment nt tonight's meeting If the ordinance comes up. He expressed himself its being op posed to the granting of the franchise, not because lie lavoretl the present company, but becnuso he believed the granting of tho franchise would mean the shutting out in the future of a competing line which might olfer some of the Inducements which ai'e now be ing offered In Philadelphia by A. L. Johnson, the. "three-cent fate man." Ho thought, however, that If the franchise was granted it should con tain a three-cent fare provision. Alessrs. demons, Coslello and Hvans, Hi other members of the committee piesenl, expressed themselves as op posed to Mr. O'Mnlley's ideas, because their adoption would mean the killing of tin oullnance. and Hie killing of the ordinance would be detrimental lo the best interests of th city. Air. O'AIalley accordingly picked up his coat and hat and left the mooting. NOT TO HXG10ED FIVJ5. The lemainiiig niembeis agreed up on an amendment changing thai sec tion of the ordinance providing for a five-cent fare to read: ".V faro not to exceed five cents, instead of "the tare shall be live cents. Tills v. Ill psrmlt the 1 eduction of Hie rale of fare by councils if il may be deemed neces sary. An amendment was -igrced upon striking out section it of the ordinance, which provides that the company shall pay an annual tax of 1 per cent, on its gross receipts In lieu ot all other muni cipal taxation. In place or this the amendment provides for the inser tion of a clause lesoiving for the city the right to impose a tax upon me gross iccelpts not lo exceed .'. per cent. This amendment was otfeied by Air. Clemoils. who said that in the matter of taxation all companies should bo treated alike, and wno express Him self as heartily favoiitigdhe early in troduction and passage of a license tax oidinaiiee taxing the gross receipts of all street railway companies.
