Business Men Want Quartz

Mr.. WHARTON OBJECTS
Ihs Matter VIII Go Over n week-west
Park Street From Main to Acad-
envy to Be Paved-sewers Pro-
posed-The Annexation.

I'll met last evening. This was mainly
owing to the presence of a lobby OF
upper Main street business men who
wanted TO ak with the aldermen in
regard to the proposed new South Main
street car line. They want TO have this
line terminate at Quartz street. instead
of at Park street as proposed in the
Franchise. Mr.. Wharton objects to
making the terminus at Quartz street.
He would be willing to run up Main
street IL IL were not for running DOWN
again. u as there is only a single track
on Main street he cannot run both up
and down the street with the South
Main street line without meeting cars
of the Walkerville line.

30 have the passage of the franchise

else of rare tact succeeded in inducing
ehe aldermen also TO wait another week
before passing the franchise. Mean
while Mr.. Wharton and the Main street
business men will confer. The judiciary
committee reported favorably for the
passage of the franchise. hut by con-
sent, at Mr.. wharton's request, action
was deferred one week.
