THREE CENTS
FOR A RIDE
AMENDMENT OFFERED BY W. G.
O'MALLEY.
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.
AnolhPV r.octlon of the ordinance,
coveting which it was decided to offer
an amendment. Is the section provid
ing That if at the end of two years
the enlito line is not lonshucted, any
fianchlse rights peitaining to any nn-llnl-hed
line. loop or extension shall
be subject to forfeiture.
MFST UK FINISHED.
An ameiidnienl was piepaied piovid
Ing that tie fianchlse for the entire.
M-steni shall lapse In case any line is
unfinished at the end of two years,
unless councils al the time shall deem
il wise only to tleclaie a foifoihuc of
Uin-o pot lions left unfinished.
The last section of the ordinance pi li
vid. -s that at the eplratlon 01 fllty
years fiom the date of the lluiil com
jiletlon of the road the city shall have
the right to purchase the plant fiom
iho company at a pike to be agieed
upon ly both parties, and providing,
in ease of a disagreement, for the ap
pointment of aiblti.nots.
Air. demons olieicd an amendment
striking out thl section and insert
ing In lieu theiror n clause providing
for the level sal or the franchise to
Hie cit) al llie end of a peilod of forty
year, and further piovidiiig thai the
in Ice lo be paid for the franchise be
delei mined fiistly and finally by Hirer
persons, and to be chosen from Ihe
city, one by the company, and one by
the judges of thci com l of common
ideas.
Tim objection iai.ed by Mr. demons
lo the sortloij in the original oidi
naiiee was th.it It didn't piovldo for a
levet.-lon of the franchise, bill meioly
gave tho city the vlght lo buy if It
do'iied. Ho wanted nil doubts as to
