following streets came up for its third reading prom from the centre of the intersection of first south street and west temple street thence south on west temple street to ninth south street thence east on ninth south street to the centre of east temple or main street mr lynn offered the following amendment nen dment to section 6 that if said grantee does not within five days after the passage of this resolution grant permission to the salt lake rapid transit company to interlace said grantee granlees gran tees 8 north track upon second south street from east temple to second west street as heretofore approved by this council then this grant shall become null aull and void mayor scott 1 I do not see the propriety of attaching such a condition to a franchise which belongs belong 0 entirely to another street I 1 shall have to rule this motion out of order lynn nervously why you should rule that motion out of order mr mayor I 1 am at a loss to under understand staL parsons I 1 think that the rapid transit company should be allowed to interlace on the salt lake companas Comp anys track but I 1 do not think this is the proper time or place to discuss it I 1 am therefore opposed to the amendment mayor scott that is precisely the view I 1 take of it city attorney hall was callei called on for his opinion in the matter and said that the city had bad a right to grant a franchise under any condition that it might see fit to I 1 impose young it appears to me that this proposed amen amendment a ment to is seeking to compel the council to give ive the rapid transit Fran sit company that which the salt lake company itself could not bestow even if it were willing james I 1 agree with mr youn young g another thing I 1 do not think that this council should assume the risk of acting as arbitrator between the street car companies and the courts the salt lake company received its franchise from the city several years ago to say that it was given f for r nothing is no argument it was an enterprise that has done the city considerable good the road was built at quite an expense and the company is entitled to the protection of this body we have no right to grant the rapid transit or any other company a franchise over the sanae same road bed at least not until the present franchise expires the imposing of the condition named is in my opinion wrong and I 1 shall vote against the amendment folland I 1 am opposed to the amendment for many reasons not because I 1 dout dont want the rapid transit company to reach the depots de lots because I 1 think it should be granted that privilege the introduction of such a rider as suggested by mr lynn is unheard of I 1 shall vote against it parsons I 1 move that the matter be laid over for one week lost on a vote being taken the amendment t was defeated folland moved that roper or tenth south street be substituted for ninth south street lost the ordinance was killed in the final vote which was as follows it
