Haw1ey's sto-e, Stepney, will probably
be divided into either three or tour sec
tions, as regards taking mp fares, thus
bringing the cost of the entire trip, one
way, from 15 to 40 cents. 1t ia thought
round trip tickets will be issued at q cost
of from Is to 80 cents. As an indirect
result Of the fulfillment Of the scheme it
is probable that the macadamized road
will be extended from Long Hill to the
end OF the line. Many would-be patrons
anxiously await the appearance of the
automobiles, the latest, safest, cheapest
and best public conveyance.
