Col. Thomas Lowry will this morning
receive in Minneapolis delegations of
St. Paul citizens who are deputeo to lay
before the president of the street rail-
way company the views and objections
OF the residents of many districts in st.
Paul which may be affected by the pro-
posed changes in the electric ear service,
announced a few days ago by the COM
pany. From Hamline and st. Anthony
park a delegation consisting of j. l..
Dobner, Dr.. George Bridgman, j. II.
Chamberlain, G. l.. Sumbardo. George
Ii. Hazard and j. ID. Rossman, of Ham
line, Col. E. H. Taylor, c. A. Dunn,
Prof. Green, d. F. Polk and +. S. Fitz-
patrick, of st. Anthony Park, will wait
on Mr.. Lowry and convey to him the ex-
preSsions OF the citizens who held
mass meeting on Saturday morning.
The company proposed to discontinue
the running of through trains from
Hamline To st. Paul, and the cars from
Hamline would only travel to LeXing-
ton and University avenues, where pas
sengers would be transferred to the in
terurban cars in order to come down
town. To this the citizens of Hamline

that, apart from waiting in the street
for the transfer train, they would be
unable to find seats upon the internrban
cars, which are always oyercrowded
with passengers from Minneapolis.
Another delegation will present the
case Of the residents between Victoria
street and Lexington avenue, who OBJ
Ject to the diScOntinuance of the cable
on Selby avenue, and the transfer to
the new electric line at Milton street.
Ii change of cats is made, the resi-
dents ask that the transfer should be
made at Lexington avenue instead of
Milton street.
The proposed change in the Lafay-
cite and kondo street line is also meet
ing with considerable opposition in the
two districts. and it would seem as if
the street car company will have diff
ficultquestion to solve in carrying out
Its proposed plans, and at the same
time please the citizens. General Man.
ager Scott denies that the company pro-
posed to make any of the changes in ST..
Paul with the idea of benefiting the
Minneapolis system. AS regards the
disseminating of through cars from
Hamline to st. Paul, Mr.. Scott states
that the traffic from Hamline is very
light, and often cars run to Uni
feTSily avenue WIN only two or
three passengers. Another reason for
taking off the through cars is that the
fast lnterurban trains are impeded by
the Hamline cars, which cannot travel
as fast as the Twin City trains. The
company intended as soon as Univer-
Sity avenue was only used 10y the st.
Paul-Minneapolis trains, to increase the.
the service to fiye-minute intervals or
still less if necessary. For the same
reasons the company intended to take
off the [ University avenue and West ST.
Paul cals, and run the Rondo street
cars to West st. Paul. The whole ques-
ton rests with Mr.. Lowry, who will no
doubt be willing to do all he can to ac7
cominodate his patrons within reason
able limits.
