A Good Proposition.

The Sacramento City Railway proposes,
if the Trustees will consent, valuable i'm
provements that Will greatly benefit two
distinct sections of the city and conven-
fence all the people. The company pro-
poses to lay line of street railway from
Second and X streets TO 0 street, and thence
up o to the present line at Tenth street ;
TO double the Tenth street track from Tenth
and K to Eleventh and o streets, and to
build line along Tenth to the City Gene
terry. 1t is now one of the principal OBJ
stacles to the popularizing of the city's
art gallery at Second and o streets that it
cannot be reached by car line, aud this
fact cripples the beneicent work of the
California Museum Association. 1t is a
matter of common complaint that there is
no car line to the City Cemetery, and
those who cannot afford to hire vehicles
are compelled to foot it !" over long
route to visit the graves of their loved ones.
The entire section of the city south of NJ
street and west of Ninth is devoid of street
railway connections and residence in all
that region is consequently less desirable.
An O-street line will cut through the
section centrally and longitudinally, and
accommodate some thousands of peo-
pie. The truth is this city is not
likely to have too many well-conducted
street-car lines. The present companies,
with their projected lines, will find
business in plenty; in fact they will make
business, for ease of transportation en-
courages the people to ride. With the new
