New Transfer Ordinance.
The Twin City Rapid Transit COM
pany was the target for several Ordi-
nances and resolutions, the principal
one beng Aid. Harvey's new transfer
ordinance, which has already been out
lined in the GLOBE. This provides that
transfers shall be issued on the
cars by conductors or agents
of the street railway company
at every point where lines
join or lntersect, and in case there are
no intersections, as with several lines,
the transfers are to be issued at the
nearest point to the line Oh which a
transfer IS desired. The object is to Sc
cure continuous ride to any part OF
city for one fare, except on the inter-
urban line to st. Paul. The ordinance
provides that open cars of the most APP
proved pattern shall be placed on all
lines during the summer months.
A preamble to the ordinance charac-
terlZed the present transfer system as
Oppressive, unreasonable anda burden
to the public" and hence a change was
necessary. The matter was referred to
the committees on railroads and ordl-
nanceS.
On motion of Aid. Rand trailers were
ordered on the Riverside and Cedar
avenue lines, as were eight-minute cars.

ordered run every fifteen minutes. A

Transit company in laying "Y"
switch on Aldrich and Laurel avenues

"Y" Oh Hawthorne and Aldrich ave-
nueS, but the railroad committee re-
ported adversely, and SO the company
moved the switch block further south,
but this created vigorous protest from
the residents in the vicinity. A motion
was introduced last evening directing
the chief of police to see that the tracks
matter was referred to the committee
OH railroads and the aldermen of the
Fourth ward.
