Whether the railway tas ordinance should be submitted to the voters March 8 was brought up during1 the -" littpa discussion. It was sug gested that action be deferred until the mayor's report on the street rail way is made. The charsre was made and denied that the street railway is ia politics. The suggestion was made that a commission be appointed to survey the entire street car situation; also the proposal made that the city go back to 5-cent fares without trans fer privileges. Councilman Carroll presided at the meeting. He said he would prefer to delay action on his ordinance until the mayor's report on the railway was in. which he expected to be some time next month. Various Flans Offered. "Some people want the entire pur chase price of the street railway lines to come out of the general fund," said Councilman Carroll, "but i of course that would be impossible. Personally, 1 think the taxpayers should be willing to carry part of th burden. It is certain that we are attempting the Impossible in buying a $15,000,000 property wlthour a cen to begin with and then pay for it cut of the profits. "It might be well to make a survey Of the entire street railway situa tion. We might appoint a commis sion. including a councilman, to be relieved of all committee work for the time being: the superintendent of public utilities, superintendent of the street railway; one representa tive of labor and one from the Cham ber of Commerce." People's Vote 'ot Wanted. "I think it would be a mistake to submit the proposed ordinance to the voters." said Councilman Erick eon. "If the people should vote it down, we would be in an awkward position. The corporation counsel, has advised us that we can make such levy without submitting the question to a vote, and 1 am willing to take the responsibility of such action if it is necessary." Councilman Carroll suggested that submitting the proposed railway tax to the voters would take the question "out of politics," as candidates for the council would be sure to make the question an issue in their cam paigns.
