Manchester Bureau, Richmond Times,

| the Forest Hill line in a good condition
| for the winter. New rails are being put
on Cowardin Avenue. and in about ten
| days girder rails will be placed on Perry
Street This will complete the track
| from the park to the Free Bridge, ana
| make it one of the bestslines OF the COM
pany. The company placed one new car
on yesterday and has four more that
will be ready in asfew days. These cars
are of the latest model and have all the
necessary fixtures. This comes as a bless
ing to the patrons WHO have had to. ride
in theaod ones. Mr.. A. B. Buchanan,
the superintendent of this division. is
a man of wide experience in street rail-
ways. and has done everything possible
for the convenience ofathc people.
BAD FOR VEHICLES.
Hull Street is in a very bad condition
between Fifteenth and Seventeenth, on
account of not being paved in some
places. This was caused by a leak being
found in the gas main, and it became
necessary to tear the street up. Now the
loose dirt which was thrown in the holes
has sunk down and leaves the street in
a very bad condition for vehicles The
citizens are hopeful that the street Will
soon be put in good condition again.
