TRYING ANOTHER CHANGE,
Elm Street Cars Now Run to Twelfth on
Twenty Minute Time.

Anxious rs far as possible to meet
the requirements of the greatest num-
Der, the Tri-City Railway company
has been experimenting further in
the running of the cars on the Elm
street line in the past few days The
reduction in time proved a great adj
vantage to bluff patrons. and was
heartily welcomed by people up that
way, but at the lower end the
new arrangement did not give
SO much satisfaction. Consequently
yesterday an attempt was made to
run the ears the old way down to
Ninth on Commute time. While the
company succeeded in doing so, the
speed was so fast as to entail great
additional expense in the way of pre-
cautious. SO last night the ears were
turned back at the end of the double
track ut Twelfth street. Under this
arrangement. which allows about
as much time as running around
the Market square, Third av-
enue and Fifteenth street loop,
the Commute time was made with
ease. and with transfers anywhere be-
low Nineteenth street to either Third
or Fourth avenue cars to the lower
end, the company feels that it may
have at last struck an arrangement
which will be advantageous and ac-
ceptable to all. The time is reduced
10 minutes between cars, and only
three blocks cut off at the lower end,
which in a round trip to the street
cars amounts to six additional blocks.
while there is now the added conven-
fence of transfers.
The first of the new open green
Bridge line ears came out this morn
ing. 1t is number IL, and beauty.
Others will follow as rapidly as they
can be mounted until the entire line
is equipped. Then there will be some
more for the Fourth avenue and
Tower branches.

line avenue car house, has resigned.
