The city railway company is fast cop-
pletlng the most perfect system in this
country. The Twin Cities will be sp-
perbly equipped this season, and yester-
day the company announced the follow
ing contemplated changes, which will
probably be made within the next two
weeks: 5e -
On the Lexington and Hamline line
the city railway company propose to
build track on Smelling avenue from
Minnehaha street to University avenue,
there to connect with the interurban
line. The present track Oh MinnehalIa
street and Lexington avenue will be
left as at present, so that in the event
of the Smelling avenue route not being
popular with the Hamline people, the
line can be operated both ways from
the corner of Minnehaha street
and Smelling avenue; that is to
say that one car can run down Smell
ing avenue 10 University avenue, and
another car run over the Minnehaha
and Lexington avenue route to Univer-
sity and Lexington. This arrangement
will of course do away with the through
car service which has been maintained
in the face of great many obstacles
during the past winter. and, in tact, for
the majority of the time since TIE line
was built. 1t is believed by the city
railway people that if the citizens Of
Hamline will give this Smelling avenue
route a fair trial, and will net condemn
the transfer arrangement at Smelling
and University avenues before they
have tried it dnder the favorable con-
ditiOnS that at present exist on the in
terurban line which is to say that the
cars are running under .slx-ninute
Roadway and with much more regular
ity than during the time that the trans
fer arrangement was tried before. that
they will be better satisfied and their
interests better snbServed than under
the present arrangement.
On the Selby avenue extension, or
Merriam Park line, it is proposed to,
build piece Of track OH Prior avenue
to University avenue to form connec-
ton there with the hterurban line,
which, will enable the residents Of Mer-
RAM Park to go in either direction, to
st. Paul or Minneapolis. 1t is altOgeth-
er likely that the present service on
this line, whereby connection is made
with the Selby avenue cable, will be
very much changed by reason of its
connection with the interurbgn line
from the fact that between the pointed
transfer at SelbY avenue and Mlltofi
street and Marshall and Fairyiew ayes
nues and Merriam Park the territory is
very thinly settled. and the majority of
the travel comes FROM Merriam Park
proper, and will, no doubt, be almost
entirely diverted to the interurban line
by the new arrangement. j.
On the Grand avenue line, the west!t
ern terminus of. what is known as the
''short line" which is now located at
Lexington avenue, will probably be
changed back to its former location at
Victoria street, the company having
found that the removal Of the terminus
halt mile further west than Victoria
street has not been met by the increase
of patronage that was expected. n "A fur
Their change will be made in the Oper
alton of tire Manchester cars. The Mac
alester people will be given through
cars for two or three hours in the morn
ing, and two Orfthree hours in the even
ing, and in the intervening time the
line will probably be operated by means
of transfer to the main line at Vic
toria street. :. 8 fsGs 81. va
