City council approves ordinance on Seventh avenue rights
Last night Alderman Hays challenged rights on Seventh avenue as the council backed an earlier plan assigning the west side to Laramie and the east to Burlington. The Laramie faction pressed to hold the entire street to force cost sharing on streetcar moves while Frank Green warned of safety risks at two crossings. Street railway interests denied external corporate ties and cited local bargaining gains with Southern Colorado and Colorado and Southern railways. The mayor ended a long session by passing the ordinance, leaving the street railways to negotiate or face delays.

He blames higher meat prices on corn and feed costs, not cattle shortages, and predicts a good winter for cattlemen due to abundant pasture from spring and summer rains.
