STREET-RA.LWAY COMPETITION.

The Cincinnati Syndicate Has Obstacles tai
Overcome Before 1t Can Go to- Work.
The Mooney Kerper syndicate bis several
hills to mount before 1t can assure the pub
lie of competing lines of street railway in
Indianapolis. The first of these is the
Board of Public Works. before which it
must first go for city franchise. Neither
Mr.. Conduit nor Mr.. Scherrer would COM
NIT themselves upon the probable action
of the board. upon the ground that they
had not read the petitions and knew moth
ing about the matter. Mr. Defrees said
that. so far as he was concerned. the new
company would be treated fairly and given
feasible routes for the lines il wants, If
such can be found. There is little or no
room to doubt that the board will
give franchise of some kind,
but whether or not it will be of any de-
ponds altogether upon the routes selected
and conditions imposed by the board. The
western line will not be permitted To go
upon either Tennesseu or Meridian streets,
nor will the sacred Union street be pro-
famed with tracks for South-side line.
The central line asked for will not be per
mitted to no upon Delaware street. From
conversations had with the board some
days ago 1t IL believed that lie Is inclined TO
bring this line down Talbot avenue to
Seventh and then switch 10 on TO the Citi-
Zens' tracks on Pennsy ly ania street, and
let the two companies fight IL out on the
question of the suburban-raiiwas law.
After the board gets through with the
company it must go before the Council TO
have the franchise confirmed. Ii il is
treated there as literally as was the old
Broad Ripple company it will probably
have one or two of its lines cut Oft in the
middle.
If the three-corned deal with the old
Broad Ripple and Edison companies goes
through. the new company will get Its east
line without asking any thing Of the Board
OF Public Works and the ConnM more than
n route from Washington and Delaware
streets to the Union Station. The ola city
franchise via Bellefontaine. Cherry, East
New York and Delaware streets IS good,
provided n road is constructed between the
city limits and Broad Ripple and car run
over il by Nov. l, and this condition the
new company expects to fulfill. No time
has yet been fixed for making an official
entry of the franchises granted by the
County Commissioners Monday and execut-
ing the required bonds.
