under which it was granted," said
Mayor Lane this morning. "If the
franchise Is not drawn up to tbe full
requirements of the ordinance under
which it was secured it seems to me
but two things remain to the company.
One of these is to permit the council
to read the full provisions of the old

admit that Its omission Invalidates the
ordinance. ,
"If there is any power to compel the
streetcar company to ruah along the

want to enforce it. Thousands of feet
of street work are being held up by the
