as a free public library was never heard

LYONS & zElGLER,
JACKSON AVENUE IMPROVEMENT
Waiting for the Traction company
10 Move.

The Jackson avenue trolley project has
taken a lull and matters relating thereto
are practically at a standstilI. There are
many disappointed property owners in the
Greenyille section, for the majority of
those interested in the proposed improve
ment expected that the work would be
well under way by this time. What the
property owners are now waiting for is
work from the Traction Company.
The committee appointed by the Green
vile property owners to wait on the COM
pany and find out what inducements
would be offered accomplished that mis-
sion a week ago. The company, at the
time, promised the committee that it
would consider the matter and announce
its decision by last Monday. The com
smittee failed to receive any notification
from the Traction Company. and Vice
President David Young was called up on
the telephone by Mr.. William Armbruster,
one of the committee, yesterday after
noon,
Mr.. Young said that the company had
left the entire matter ir = 2 hands of Mr..
STANLEY, and that that man was now
at Atlantic City, whers = has been for
that Mr.. STANLEY was down there for his
health, but thought that he would be
back in a week or 50.
The property. owners are apparently put
out at he delay, for many wanted the
trolley. to be a. reality by this summer
or in the fall, at the latest. Many people
throughout the city are in favor of hav-
ing the Traction Company pay the city
five per cent. OF the gross earnings, as
called for by law, but the property own
ers on The line of the proposed opening
say differently.
They do not want the ompan COM
PEELED to pay the five per cent, for if
such was the case they would probably
be assessed more for improvements
whereas if the Traction Company was
not obliged to pay it would probably bear
the pyppnSp of all mnrnyemertS -
The majority Of the property owners
not on the direct line, however. favor the
idea OF the company paying so much
toward the opening of the street and then
have the property owners pay for the i'm
proving of the street after it was cut
through.

THE World" SAYS
Ii was unfortunate tina Allan MeDer-

Committee resolution.
We cannot see it in this light. We
cannot think hat anything is unfortunate

the Constitution.

1t would nave been a good thing had
the committee been able to proceed, n
much better for the Democrats had IT

This is not so. There was a brutal con-
spiracy against the Democracy, in which
the '-World" itself was a participator,
which wantonly and outrageously plisrep-
resented everything brought out in the
course of the Gledhill inquiry. When
mere misrepresentation would not do,
