RAIL GRANT
ISSUE IS
DEAD
Proponents of Strahorn
Crossing on Sixth Street
Must Start Anew
The Stiohi'ia Hixth street crows
ing Issue Is now dead, 1ty Attorney
J. If. Carnalian said today.
When the city council, nt lis last
sosion Monday uliihi. failed to art
pn Mnyor Goddiird' veto of ' the'
resolution granting to (ho Htraliorit
road permission to cross Hoiilh
Sixth street at Commer"'!!! street,
tho question became as dead nn If
it never nrose.
At the eounclt meeting of. April
the resolution granting tho O. C.
& E. road the privilege of creasing
Sixth street -was granted by - (he
council by a vote of three totwo.
Councllmen Dalsiger, Roberts and
Stuckey voted tor the resolution and
Councllmen West and Cofer again;.
Mayor Vetoes
One week later, April 20, the
mayor vetoed the resolution, Betting;
forth la bis veto message that tho
crossing grant was not to the beat
Interest of, tie city. , it.
Instead cf acting on the voti
tha council decided - to postpone
action till toe next council meeting.
At the. next meptlng, April il. thn
Strahorn Issue wasnof. called up
and .the meeting adjourned without
any action, taken.,,:,,,,,;;, At-V'
sr-u Rcaclutlott Killed )
This effectually kills the reju
lutlon, n..,the,j!pInion,.,ot. the city
attorney. : . - '
. It is believed that the proponents
ot the. crossing grant will probably '
revive . the issue . by incorporating
the proposed grant. Into tha form
ot an ordinance. It . toe . present,
line up ot the, council, re-nalns In
tact, the ordinance will 'sm defeated,
as a four-fiftl majority would bo
necessary - to pass the resolution
over the mayor's veto. Mayor God
dnrd has Indicated that his ' stand
on the cro3sing is unchanged. '
Resolution History . " .
Many months ago the O. C. ft E;
railroad asked for permission to
construct three spurs, tapping dif
ferent sections of town. Weeks of
deferred action and evident disap
proval cf some members ot .tho
council led the Strahorn interests
to concentrate upon the Sixth street
crossing at Commercial street. -Several
mont'i-3 passed, without ( any
definite acticn being taken; aad
then toe election ot three "new
ccuncllmen placed a different light
on the'l-sue. The rail crosslug reso
lution was again pressed and finally
passed by a close majority, only to
be vetoed by the maor. The rail
road coinnanv mujt start n-v .nn.1
Jin the light cf suggestions that an
ordinance would be the legal ageney
to bring the tnutier before tlis
council, will probably Incorporate
the petition for the grant in an
ordinance.
