arrangements have been made, if at all, between the railroad com-
panies cannot be altered or controlled by the city, and in fact, such
agreements will be made only upon such terms as are agreed upon by the
different roads. The granting of the present franchise cannot inter-
fere with any of the legal rights of the other railroads, because just
compensation must be made to such other roads if they should suffer
any damage by reason of the location of the tracks provided for in
this franchise.

The taking effect of this ordinance by the acceptance of the
railroad companies to which this franchise is granted cannot inter-
fere with any agreement which the different raods may have had with
each other, as such agreement depends entirely upon the consent of the
parties interested.

Yours truly,
(illegeible)
Corporation Counsel.
