EAST CHICAGO GRANT SIGNED BY MAYOR (Continued from Pagre one)

the two tracks are built at once or not. Strangely enough this provision had been made In a previous draft of the franchise and conceded by the companies, but in some manner it had been overlooked In the franchise then before the council. COIXCH. CHAMBER C'HOVVDED. The council chamber was crowded at 8 o'clock when the aldermen took their seats. The bulk of the crowd which numbered 150 was from Indiana Harbor but there were also a handful from

Kast Chicago. There was an air of intense but suppressed excitement from the moment the proceedings

opened until they closed at 2 a. m,

Occasionally the enthusiasm of the

crowd broke over all bounds of restraint, and twice the aplause continued for several minutes. MVYOIl OKIIOF.S MATTER. It was Mayor Schlitktr who cast the deciding vote which resulted finally in the pasi-sre of the franchises. The eouncllmen had been assembled in committee of the whole all afternoon. $n the evening the first question which arose was how to tret the franchises from the comtttee and be

fore the council. Rules were looked

up ana mucn argument inauigea in and this difficulty was finally overcome. There were two reports on the

franchises, each with five aldermen bcking them. HOW THE VOTE STOOD. The vote on the adoption of the measures as they stood and as they had been recommended by the board of public works and by the Joint citizens were as follows: FOR SHOCK. ANDERSOK. , KETCIK. AL.VIN VARAIjV. AGAIXST BURNS.

nUCKLEt. MYSLEWI. OLDi?. FRENCH. The first motion of consequence was made by Schock. He moved that the franchises be taken from the committee. The vote stood Schock, Anderson. Ketcik, Galvin and Varady for, and Burns, Buckley, Mislewl, Olds and French against, Jt was clearly a tie and it was up to the Mayor to cast the deciding: vote. He announced that as

preisdent of the board of public works he had put the stamp of his approval on the franchises is they stood and in order to be consistent he voted aye.

Previous to the taking of the vote, however. Burns had gotten up to say that the committee wanted more time. The mayor replied that the citizens were of a contrary opinion. The mayor had barely made known his vote before the gallery broke Into loud applause. The life of the franchisee remains the same as before, and the third track in Chicago avenue stands. The three-cent fare was dropped. The amendment to the franchises.

which were agreed to by the atreet ear companies, and to Indorae which Judare DeRriae bad to be nnramoned from his bed la order that the board of public works might give Its unanimous Indorsement to the changes previous to the adoption of the franchises by the city council, were t ?o!lowst The building: of the Cedar street line first and the Part-inn avenue line inter the paving of an eighteen-foot roadway where the franchises rails for double track, whether the tracks are built at onre or not. -. Twenty-minute service between 5 and S a. m. and 5 and 7 p. m. 'o charge for children under six years of age. The franchises under consideration had failed to provire for the children, although it is an unwritten law in this region as elsewhere that children under six be carried free. Schock then moved that the franchises he passed to second reading, but

before this could be acted upon Buck-1 ley arose to ask permission to make known the changes that the Taction of which he was a member, stood for. This was granted . and those changes finally adopted were culled out and' agreed to by the companies. Everybody was then in favor of the franchises as amended, excepting Buckley. He made much of a petition which had been signed with names of a number of property owners along Chicago avenue, and which purported to show that a .third track in that thoroughfare was opposed by large

owners of real estate. It was then that machines were started put for property owners who did favor a third track

In Chicago avenue. W. R. Diamond was sent for and came at once. He showed where a number of names which appeared on the petition could not have been signed by the ' men themselves, pointing out one of a man who was alck In a hospital in New York and another In California. He said for his part, although he would be Inconvenienced as much as any business man on Chicago avenue by a third track, he regarded It as Indispensable and favored it accordingly. Harry Cohen, son of Sam Cohen, represented his father and said that the latter approved of a third track. Mr. Cohen was one of the men who came attired in pajamas with an overcoat over them. After more argurrfent It was agreed to put up the amendments to the street

car companies and gain their consent

to them. This was done, the board of public works passed on the amendments and the franchises thus changed were adopted by suspension of the rules, the vote being unanimous. This was the occasion for another outbreak louder and more prolonged

than any previous- one. All the machines on the ground were then pressed into service to take the belated Harborites home in relays, as the cars had stopped running hours before. Mayor Schlieker declared after the meeting that If East Chicago had as

good a bunch of live ones as Indiana Harbor they could get anything in God's green earth that they went after.

HAMMOND TRAGEDY IS RECALLED (Continued from Pare L)
