IN nearly all Republicans wanting a pri-
mary held. The candidates also favor this
idea Of holding primary, and it is pre-
suned the committee wili order the same

considerably annoyed the past week by
two overhead bridges, one on Lafayette
avenue and the other on Twelfth street.
Both are too low. and since the company
is using their new engines on this divis-
ion the whistles on them have been knock
ed off by these bridges. Now in order to

would do away with many obstacles now
in their way. The probable cost of such
a move IS now being considered and a
survey for the new location of the line
will probably be made this week In
