that as soon as the switch was COM
pleted the cars running on Hull street
would be taken to the sheds in Manches-
ter. where now the Perry-street cars are
quartered This would bring about i'm
portant changes inasmuch as the men
working on the Hull-street cars would

novel and choice one. She goes TO a city
