PUTTMG IN HEAVY MOTORS.
Fifteen Of the Union Passenger Cars Being
Eanipps-t for Service.

Equipped for Service.
The assurance is given that within the
next two weeks there will be fifteen cars
in operation on the Union Passenger
Line equipped with heavy motors like
those now in use on most Of the cars on
the City railway.
Three OF them have already been fixed
and are on the road three others are
undergoing the process of preparation,
and the remaining nine, equipments for
which have arrived, viii be gotten ready
as soon rs possible. With these cars on
in the place of those now in use it is ex-
pected that there will be great improve
ment in the service, which Is not now
near up to what the public demands.
An official Of the road yesterday, re-
fcrring 10 The complaint made to the
Street Committee Monday night that
summer cars were being run when the
weather was cold enough for winter ones,
explained that the management did not
think 1T worth while to put on the latter
when they would have TO be taken off In
a short while 10 have heavier machinery
put under them. The cause of complaint,
he said, would certainly be removed
within the next ten days OF two weeks.
Tho machinery would have been put IN
earlier, this gentleman said, but there
was great delay in its arrival after being
ordered. The cars are being painted, 30
that they look very much like new ones.
