THE CITY RAILWAY
Getting Ready for Electric Cars on Main
street.

The work of replacing the timbers and
rails on the tracks of the City Hallway
line between Main and Eighth streets
TO the foot of Libby Hill will begin just
SO soon as the contracts for the work are
given out
n was expected that the contracts for
taking up the granite pavement aud re-
placing it would have been given out
Yesterday. but for proper reasons the
opening of the bids was postponed until
to-day
f he contract for furnishing the cross
ties and siringcrs was awarded to Mr..
W. s. Gum last Tuesday.
A is the object and wish of the com
many to place the track on Main street,
i'm new and perfect order. as soon as
possible. 10 will be benefit TO the
company and 20 the public. One Of the
features in the way has been the pariicu-
lar shape of the iron rails TO be used. IL
is understood that the dOuble-lip rail is
now no longer rolled by the leading
iron works, AS most cities have adopted
the rails without the lip But Colonel
Cutshaw. who is always on the alert,
won't have any rail but the lip rail,
which rail Is the one now in use on both
the City Railway and Union Passenger
Railway Companies
The City Railway Company would
lust as soon use one rail as the other,
because they are paid for by the pound
but the disconiinuance by the manulac-
turers TO make this particular kind OF
rail has delayed the company in be-
ginning the work The rail without the
lip can De gotten in quantities whenever
ordered, bat the lip rail has to be made
90 order
The lip rail possesses this benefit A
wagon crossing il strikes the lip and not
the granite pavement built up against ii,
and thereby saves the granite from be-
ing broken and knocked out of place.
The railway company though are re-
Quired 10 replace any granite pavement
which may get out OF condition between
and within two feet of each side of their
tracks.
The City Railway line between Eighth
street and Libby Hill on Main will be
entirely new rails, ties, and stringers.
After the work is done there will be i'm
py0yements made along the entire line
on both Main, Broad, and the cross
streets There is now on hand about
fifteen tons of iron ready to be laid.
The aim will be to lay one track at a
time. and SO perform the work as to
give the minimum obstruction TO the use
of the street
