SOME OPPOSITION
To the Proposed Extension of the Union
Railroad on Dyer street.

To the Proposed Extension of the Union
Railroad on Dyer street.
The petition of the Union Railroad for
right to extend its lines down Dyer street
from Market square TO its junction with
Eddy street, now lies in the hands Of the
committees.
When the committee give a hearing IL
is said that there will develop consider
able opposition to the plan. The New
York, New Haven and Hartford already
has track along the whole line. and
when Its new connection is made and ex-
tension completed to Langley street. it
Will use that line more than ever. There
seems 70 be no way of avoiding the use
OF the steam railroad along both Dyer
and South Water streets if ready access
Is to be maintained by the railroads with
tide water.
Even with the traffic as it is there are
continual blockades ali along the streets.
and the railroad tracks, with their spurs
now occupy so much OF the street as TO
leave only space for wagons to pass in
single file without driving OH the tracks.
In the event or the Union railroad lay
ing its electric service along the street
there would be scarcely space for single
team to make Its way along the street
aud such travel would make IL quite inn
possible te keep the street passable. 1t
would virtually amount to giving the
street up entirely to the railroads.
These are some of the objections urged
by business men. They claim that the
extension OF the service would ruin the
street for business.
On the other hand the railroad com
pany claim that the extension OF their
business as now conte m plated will
necessitate the use of more cars every
year, that Westminster street is already
crowded. and will become more and
more so. This route down Dyer street
would give them an outlet for all the
South Providence travel and relieve the
tracks at Turks Head where the Eddy
street cars now turn.
