. Third Track on North Qus.n strss,

The Lancaster City Street Railway com.
pany this morning began making prepare.
tons for laying third rail or North Queen
street from the Pennsy lvanis railroad TO
Centre Square where 1t will connect with
their other roads. The third rail will be
placed close 10 the west side OF the west rail
of Lancaster and Miliersville track and the
east rail OF the Millersvills track will be
used by both companies. There will be q
s'turnour about half way between Orange
and Chestn ut streets TO enable the cars OF
the two companies to pass each other and
here is where the trouble will begip. North
Queen street is already badly cut up with
the single track now laid upon Il. The
s'turnoup will make II much worse, and q
general growl from the public may be ex.
pectsd. q
We understand that the laying OF the
third track from the Pennsylvania railroad
70 Centre Square was opposed by some OF
the wisest heads In the management of the
company. What they wanted was to lay
the track from the depot to Orange street
down Orange to Prince to Consstogs, along
Conestogs to South Queen street. where il
would connect with the other branch oi
their road. IL is claimed that this route
would have picked up many more psssen-
gers than the other.
