say:
TO the Citizens of the Seventh Ward: There
is pending before the common council an
stitution of electricity for the present cable
power used in operating street cars on
Fourth street and selby avenue.
This ordinance will come up for final ac
ton in the board of aldermen on Tuesday
evening Of this week. To avoid the stee1
grade on the Se.by avenue hill it is pro-
posed that when the contemplated change
in motor power is made, tracks shall be
laid on Third street, from its intersection
with Selby avenue, and thence from the
top OF the Third street hill on Summit
avenue to Selby avenue. Two objections
are made and strenuously urged against
this proposed change of route the first and
most important OF which is that it will
be dangerous to life and limb to attempt
to operate electric cars on the Third street
and Summit avenue grades, The second
objection is. that it Is undesirable, from
public standpoint, to use any part of sum
