FIorence-Canon Electric.

Thomas Robinson, ex-mayor OF
Florence, who has conceived the
idea of connecting Florence, Canon
City, South Canon, Lincoln Park
and the coal camps by means of an
electric railway, was here on Satur-
day and met a com mittee from the
Chamb ber of Commerce at Judge
Bailey's office. The conference
was for the purpose of securing the
cooperation of the Cham Der in OBJ
tanning rights to the use of certain
streets of Canon and South Canon
for street railway purposes. II
surveys are completed in time an
ordinance may be presented at the
next meeting of the council asking
for franchise.
Mr. Robinson's plans are to COW
er the principal portions of both
Florence and Canon at present,
entering on one street and, making
loop, returning by another. Lat
er, if feasible, the scheme contem-
plates the construction of aviaduct
over the railroads and river and
the extension of the line to South
Canon, Lincoln Park, and the
camps, including Dawson City.
The line of the proposed road be-
tween Florence anCtCanon will fol-
low the north side of the river,
keeping north of the d. & r. G.
tracks, and may enter the city via
either Main or River streets-pro-
badly the latter, as this would place
both the Rio Grande and Santa Fe
depots on the line. At Third, or
4th street, the line will pass north,
thence east to a connection in
Fruitmere, thus encompassing the
whole city.
The idea is one of great possibil-
tiles. If carried out it will not
only give the cities rapid transit
facilities within themselves, but
it will bring them in close touch
