| When the curves of the Manufacture
| ers' Street railroad are improved the
| line will be in better condition than
ever for business. While the volume
of freight has not been as great as
hoped for, it is believed by the coming
season the line will be doing a salts
factory business. Certainly the road
affords a very convenient method of
shipping freight and receiving heavy
supplies in the Grapevine Point dis
trict, and the shippers who use the
road are much pleased with the facili-
ties. A bill is pending before the gen
eral assembly for permission to extend
the tracks up South Front street to
Grand avenue, and, if built, the lire
will accommodate several shippers
along the proposed extension Eventu-
ally the tracks are likely to be extend
ed across Grand avenue and up North
Front street With the increased track
it would become an important local
freight road.
