UP TO AND INCLUDING THOSE PASSED JUNE 8. 1896.

NOTE.

The recent agitation for the ownership and control by the muni-

cipality of so-called public utilities has stimulated public interest as

to the conditions of eristing franchises granted by the Common

Council of the city. Theretofore these have been scattered through

various volumes of Ordinances and Council Proceedings, but in this

volume all are collected, including two never before published. The

index has been made with great care, and as exhaustive us was deemell

necessary. The paging is identical with that of the new volume

of General Ordinances now being printed, in order to avoid mistakes

in reference.
