VEST|BULED CARS.
A Short Time Will See the
Equipment of the Tri-
City System.
EFFECT OF THE IOWA LAW.

General Manager Lardner to Provide
New and Neat Additional Mode
of Designation of the Various Routes
Talks of Better Tracks on Both sides
of the River.
1t will be but question of a short
time now until all the cars of the Tri-
City street railway system are equip
ped with vestibuled ends. The Bridge
Line is now so provided complete, and
another month viii see the last of the
cars on that branch through the shops
and respondent with new paint.
There now remain but two to be so
treated. and these in contrast with the
others makes them all the more no
ticable. Iowa law has prevented the
lines on this side of the river receiv-
ing their proportion of the vestibuled
cars up to the present time. The
vestibule provision of.the Hawk
eye statutes became operative
the first of the present month,
and the Tri-City Railway COM
pany was among those corpora
tions that have promptly complied
with the law. In many Iowa cities
the disposition is to disregard the
vestibule requirement, Burlington,
Clinton, Muscatine and Dubuque
street railways having taken their
own time to respond. The Tri-City
company has within two of enough
cars vestibuled to equip its Daven-
port lines, and these two will be out
in day or two. Then the company
will begin on this side, and hopes to
send out about three vestibules
month until the full complement of
vestibule cars is provided.
Designation to Routes.
Responding to the repeated requests
of patrons on this side of the river,
General Manager Lardner has devised
a plan whereby the different routes
will be more plainly designated in the
day time. Under the transom let
tered system there is no difficulty at
night. and when the cars are near
there is no occasion for complaint in
day time, but at distance the desig-
nation of cars in the day time is not
so readily discernible. Mr.. Lard
ner has accordingly arranged
for an interchangeable 1O-inch disc of
brightly colored tin which will be
attached to the dash. of vestibule cars,
WneTe IL may DE seen AT any distance.
the car can. The color of this disc will
show the route-a red one Third
avenue, blue Fourth avenue and green
Elm street. The car bodies on the
Bridge Line being painted green
leaves no room for misunderstanding
or conflict between it and the Elm
street cars. The colored disc arrange
ment will obviate all existing causes
for complaint.
The Tri-City company is considering
the relayiug of a mile of track on
each side of the river next spring with
heavy welded steel rail. The territory
in this city to be relaid includes Second
avenue from Fourteenth to Twentieth
streets, thence over the Moline lines to
Twenty-third street and Fifth avenue,
and Third avenue from Twentieth to
Twenty-fourth streets. In Davenport
Second street from the bridge to Har-
rison, and Brady from Second to Fiji

CITY COUNCIL CHAT.
Have a Short Session,
Only Taking up Urgent
Matters.
NOTHING HEARD FROM MR.. BLAIR.

Bids for City Lighting Improvement
OF FOrty-Fourth Street and the Fur
nishfng of Hose Opened-A Sewer Prob
Proposed Ordinance.
Only urgent matters were treated
by the city council last night, such as
the passing of the pay roll, opening
bids for street lighting, improvement
of Forth-fourth street and the furnish
ing of 1000 feet of hose for the fire
department. The bids were referred
to the proper committees and an adj
iournment taken to next Monday
night. Hence any one of the plans
that Promoter Blair had in view to
railroad his ordinance for tracks
on the levee was blocked. Mr.. Blair
seems determined to carry his point,
and declares he will bring strong in
fluences to bear upon the council.
However, at present there is but one
alderman who is known to be in favor
of Mr.. Blair's scheme to block the
river front improvement.
Only one proposal was received for
the city lighting, and that came from
the Peoples Power con- ,,any, which,
it is fair to presume, WI. be given
an opportunity to renew its con-
tract with the municipality. As
to which of the systems will be
adopted will not. be known until the
fire and light committee makes its re-
port.
A petition from Twin-City Typo
graphical union asking that the union
label be required on all city printing
was granted. The petition stated that
no fault was to be found in the NUM-
cipal printing as at present executed,
which, by the way, is fitting recog-
milton of City Clerk Housings union
labor principles.
Sewer Connection.
A question that will prove a source
of great annoyance if not properly
disposed of-as undoubtedly it will
be-has arisen in connection with a
petition of Mrs. Carlton for leave to
connect with the Fourth avenue sewer
without cost. 1t has been the custom
of the city to charge SO for these
connections, but the point has been
made in the present instance that
Mrs. Cartoons neighbors have been
this privilege gratis and she
CduuOI WHY Snc HOG
be accorded like privilege. Mayor
Medill said that if it were true that
others had been given connection free
he would not feel disposed to assess
Mrs. Carlton, in which.position he was
by Aid. Lohse. Aid. Gall, |
however, contended that he had never
known a case where this privilege
was granted without the established |
charge. The result was the reference
of the petition to the sewer commit |
tee for investigation.
The Rock Island & Peoria Railway |
company will have an ordinance be-
fore next Monday nights meeting
asking to be allowed to ex-
change with the Burlington GER
tain tracks on First avenue between |
Sixteenth and Seventeenth streets, a |
deal, which it is claimed will be mu-
tually beneficial and will put an end
to the annoyance caused by the criss-
crossing of tracks that is now neces-
sary.

The many words of approval of the
position of the city administration
and council with reference to the levee
track right question are highly COM
to that body and the as
surances that have come to The

against further encroachments on the
part of railroads upon the river front
are most gratifying indeed, and are
fully appreciated.

LOWELL'S BLOCK
Will Be One of the City's Finest
Business Structures.
Some Facts About the Building, It's Con
struction, Arrangement, Size and
Interior Finish.

The Spy prints today cut Of the new
building which A. S. Lowell is erecting
at the corner of Norwich and Foster

modern appliance that has demonstrated
its usefulness VIII be embodied in its in
terror arrangement, making one of the
largest and finest stores of the kind in
the country. Mr.. Lowell has Worcester
in mind in the pains which he is taking
and he feels confident that the building
will be one to which any citizen may
point with pride. The stock Of his new
store, its arrangements and the fixtures
will be fully in keeping with the build
ing itself.
The main entrance will be at the cor
ner of Norwich and Foster streets, with
a carriage entrance on Norwich street.

corning IT,

Isel.n of Defender fame left home for
Europe this week on mission looking
to the future protection of the America
cup. He goes abroad as the active head
of a syndicate as powerful as that which
paid for the last international race
winner, and he also officially represents
the New York Yacht Club.
About a month ago there was a sud
den and unusual stir among the big
gest yachtsmen of the country in this
direction They worked quietly and Sc
cretly. Twice this month Iselin has
been visitor to Bristol, and Jan. is he
was at the Herreshoff boat building
yards in the bayside town for half
day He had long and serious talk
with Capt. Nat" Herreshoff, the de-
signer of the Defender, and, when Ise-
lin left, it was with the understanding
that he should visit Europe immediate
ly for the purpose of looking over the
latest designs in racing yachts on the
other side.
Capt. Nat was invited to accom-
pany Mr.. Iselin on his European trip.
but he was forced to decline owing to
the pressure lof work on the torpedo
boats for the United States navy, now
