The running of the cars Of the Manchos-
ter COMPANY from Adams street to Broad,

inc cars tdSlNdiAAf lIOHl n'AhhlF WV "a

OLD ORDINANCES.
The paper also provides that tho condi-
tions and requirements of the various ordi-
nanccs relating to the Manchester Railway
and Improvement Company shall continue
IN full force and effect as If the permission
to use the tracks of the City railway had
not been granted, save and except the re-
Guirements as to the building of second
track on Marshall street and the vunning
of the ears eastwardly from Adams street
down to College. and thence down four-
teenth to Main.
THE Effect.
Should this ordinance be passed first
class schedule will be given on Nam street
from Eighth 10 Fourteenth and on Iroad
street. Ii is not supposed the people on
Marshall street will object to this change,
as they will have good service on Broad
street Just one square from where the cars
now pass their doors.
Many Of the residents along Marshall
street objected 90 the double track a 1t
would take up good portion of that tho
rouehfare, which is used extensively for
riding and driving.
