Three Street Car Accidents Within
a Week

Week,
Central and College avenues on Waba-
sha street, there is quite an incline
and the speed Of Interurban cars on
the way from Minneapolis, when they
strike this piece of track seem to be
perceptibqy increased. Whether this is
caused by the heedlessness Of the mo-
termen, or some other reason. is a
question, but within the last few days
several accidents have occurred in this
vicinity. Only last week an ice wagon
was knocked to pieces there.
A delivery wagons from the Golden
Rule, driven by Fred Johnson, was
struck by an Interurban car shortly
before noon Tuesday, and the wagon
and driver thrown from the track.
Johnson claims that he was crossing
the track and doing his best to get
out of the way of the car, but the car
seemingly kept coming, and the re-
suit was a collision. Johnson was
thrown from the wagon, but fortunate
Iy not seriously hurt. The vehicle was
badly smashed and the goods strewn
along the street for half q block.
Yesterday morning at O'Clock, Miss
L. G. McElroy, of "a Igiehart street,
was struck by an Interurban car at
Wabasha and Iglehart street and Sc
verely injured about the head. Miss
McElroy was intending to take car
for Minneapolis, and started across the
street from the West side to take the
car which was approaching, bound for
Minneapolis. She failed to see the car
which was coming down the hill, and
was struck and knocked down. Miss
McElroy was taken to her home and
attended by Dr. Keam, who reports
her injuries, although severe, not ser

GASOLINE LIGHTING,
Specifications for New Contract Are
Being Drawn

Commissioner Copeland, of the public
works department, Is busy preparing
the plans and specifications for the gas
oline lighting contract, which expires
Dec. 81. In the main they will be sim
liar to those governing the present con-
tract, except that bids for painting the
lamp posts will be asked for.
1t is possible that the number of gas
oline lamps in service may be materi-
ally reduced after March 1, when the
electric and gas lighting contracts with
the st. Paul Gas Light company will
expire. The board of aldermen has al
ready passed an ordinance granting the
firm of Brooks Bros. a franchise to op-
crate an electric light and power plant
In the Tenth and Eleventh wards. 1t
Is the purpose of this concern to fur
nish electric light to private consumers
In that district, but in the event that
they secure the franchise it is expected
that they will be in position to sub
init bids for lighting the streets with
electricity in the Hanline district and
possibly in the Eleventh ward. Whether
such a change will meet with favor. in
view of the greater cost Of electric
hghtlng compared with gasoline, re-
mains to be seen.
