When the matter came up the commissioners, King was on hand and made a vigorous protest against the franchise 'being' granted without the application of his interest being considered nt the same time. He claimed that his company was asking a f ranch ise ort jthe same street as that desired by the Utah County company, and that no definite provision had been made to give his company trackage over the line:. King insisted that both applications be eonsidered at the same timeand after the commissioners considered the matter for a short time, the franchises were until next Thursday. The ordinance presented to the commission last night made some radical changes in the route as proposed by the jirdinance first presented by the Utah' ouiitr people. Their ordinance proviib ed for aline' from the southern city limits up First West street to Fourth Houtb street, with a loop' about the postoffiee building to connect at Fi rs--t W cst w IThYlTidl main line, and a spur line westpn Hixth South from.

The ordinance as presented last night confined the line to First West street and provided that it should run from the city limits on the south to the south line" of North Temple street, thus cutting, the road off Main street and doing ing away with any loop.
