Waco, July 25.-Mr. j. II Wilson,
of the Waco National Bank, left for
the Fort this evening.
The new street car line is run indie
pendently of the old line and parties
going over both lines in passing to and
from the depot will be required to pay
two fares. The company is presumed
to know its own business but there
does not seem to be business in this.
If the company would move It's switch
just beyond the curve on Washington
street to point in front of the Market
house or the Pacific hotel on Fourth
street at the junction of the two lines
so that cars OH both lines would be
compelled to make connection, then
passengers could be transferred from
one line to the other and allowed to
pass over both lines for one fare with
out the chance of any one imposing on
the drivers and getting free
ride and in that case the
majority Of persons would go on the
Mreet ears in preference to taking
bus; they would even walk two or
three blocks to do so, but if they are
required to pay two fares in all cases
where the street cars fail to carry them
direct to where they want to go, they
will take bus in preference to the
street car.
