ger, yesterday applied TO the city councH
for a permit 10 build a new trestie TOT inc

ing along the shore of the bay between
Omaha and AIva streets. ana also Tor per-
mission to rebuild the trestle for the rail-
way at Salmon bay The fling or the Pc
tition at the city hall was the first step
taken by the company in Its programme
for the reconstruction Of great part OF
the Ballard line and its equipment WIFI

the service
II the company~s present plans are car
ried out as appears to be certain, there
win be expended on the Ballard system
alone upward Of $4,000, 1t IN understood.
Three new cars are being built in the
East for the line, with a capacity each OF
100 horse power in electric motors. ana
capable OF giving speed Of over twenty
miles an hour.
General Manager Dickinson's letter TO
the board OF public works. which accom-
panied the application for the necessary
permit, outlined in concise form the plans
OF, the company regarding the Ballard
line. At present the road skirts the beacn
driveway on the west side along the shore
of the bay for over a mile.
Mr.. Dickinson stated In his letter that
he believed 1t would be better for the
company to build trestie adjoining the
present trestIe, but wide enough only Tor
a single track and clear of the carriage
driveway. This he said. would admit OF
greater speed and of greater safety. The
plan Is to build trestle without any
foofpath, and divided from the main
trcstle by q railing to keep the teams ana
pedestrians on the part allotted for the
railway. 1.-THE change will result in bet
ter service to Ballard" Mr.. Dickinson said
in closing the letter.
The permit was granted by the board
yesterday morning. 1t allows the COM
pany to build trestle for the railroad on
the west side of the present structure, be-
tween Omaha and Alva streets. and also
to build another trestle west OF the pres
ent one at Salmon bay.
The track for the distance mentioned In
the permit will be taken up and relaid
over the new trestle. The line on West
ern avenue is also to be taken up and re-
laid with better foundation. The track
will be leveled and Strengthened wher-
ever necessary, and put in condition so
that the new cars may make much better
time than Is now the rule.
The new cars ordered by the company
are of about the same size as the heavy
cars used on the Green Lake line of the
Traction Company division. They will be
equipped with four forty horse power
motors each.
! Mr.. Dickinson said yesterday that the
increase in manufacturing Industries at
Ballard, the new improvements of the
Great Northern at Smith cove and the In
stallation Of two large sawmills along the
line of the road were factors which re-
suited In q greatly increased travel over
the division, and to accommodate this
traffic the proposed improvements were
to be made.

Mr.. CARROLL HAS A CLAIM.
Seattle Attorney Will Sue Sheriff
and Owners of Hill Tract ON
Judgment Secured Years Ago.

r.. Carroll, a Seattle lawyer, is about
to file suit in the superior court against
A. 7. Van De Vanter as sheriff. and w. Fl.
Lewis, which will add another to the nu-
merous legal entanglements affecting the
title to the Hill tract, just south of Yesler
way, on the second hill. part of which is
now known as the John w. Thompson ad-
dition. The property involved in the suit
to be brought by MIR. Carroll includes about
1870 acres. Mr.. Carroll claims that several
years ago he secured judgment against
w. C. HUI for 1880, and levied on the Hill
tract. He claims that this judgment was
never satisfied and that his title Is bet
ter than that Of any other litigant.
In his complaint Mr. Carroll win allege
that on May T. 1884, he obtained a verdict
against Hill In the superior court for 81 40:
that later he levied on the property in
question to satisfy the Judgment, and that
at sheriffs sale of the tract he purchased
costs, the whole aggregating N,576. MI.
Carroll will further set up the record to
show that he received a certificate of sale,
but that he was never able to obtain from
the sheriffs office a sherin's deed to the
property.
1t is alleged by Mr.. Carroll that his judg-
ment against Mr.. Hill has never been sat
isfied, and that his certificate OF purchase
at sheriff's sale Is better title to the
property than that possessed by other It'll
giants.
The complaint will end with a prayer
that the court issue an order directing the
sheriff to deliver sheriffs deed to him
conveying the property.
Mr. Lewis. who Is administrator of the
Hill estate, and one of the present owners
of part of the Hill tract, said last night,
regarding the claim OF Mr.. Carroll;
II am familiar with the litigation over
the Hill tract, but l never heard that Mr..
Carroll had valid claim on the property.
Nor have l heard that he claimed to have
any interest individually, nor that he ever
tried to enforce such a claim"

Federal officials.

Washington, Feb. 15.- Secretary
Charles Dick, of the National Republi-
can Committee, today sent the follow
ing letter to Chairman E. II. Il. Green
OF the Texas Republican State Commit
tee, in reply to an inquiry from the lat
ter as to accrediting Federal ollice-hold-
ers as delegates to the National Con-
vention:
L. H. R. Green, Terrell, Tex: In re-
ply to your esteemed favor of recent
date, l would say chat while the Nat
ional Committee does not assume to in
terfere with the selection of delegates
yet in order to avoid averse criticisms,
it is deemed advisable that, SO far as
practicable, delegations TO the coming
national convention should be compos-
ed of those not holding Federal ap-
pointments. There are, of course, just
ifible exceptionsto this rule, but public
sentiment dictates that Federal officials
shall not be TOO prominently identified
with the management of political con-
yeutions. In view of this considera-
tion, it is hoped that the coming con-
vention may be free from criticism
which has sometimes obtained where a
large percentage of the delegates were
office-holders under the Government.
