RTs.-Last week the officers OF all the different
street car lines with the exception Of President
Hurt, OF the Avenue line, absent from nlness,)
held meeting, and it was agreed to make an
interchange of tickets, the arrangement TO 60

interchange, there is no doubt that 1t win re i'd
lY cooperate In this arrangement. The only
d1nculty to be oDyiated Is that occasioned By
the use OF the bell-punch On the Avenue line; the
tickets OF the other lines being too thick for
the punch. It will not take long. however to
0byiate this difficulty Ii the companies work
together to that end.
