to keep out opposition. The Wellsburg
road is all right Wheeling cannot
have too many connections with sub
urban towns. | would like 10 see n

MIR. George S. Otto. heeretary OF
House 4 Herrmsn's. and one of Wheel
ings progressive citizens, said: Every
business man in Wheeling ought to be,
doubtless is, in favor of opening up
new avenues OF entrance to the city
from outlying towns Anything OF that
kind can but be OF great advantage to
all concerned. both to the outside towns
and to Wheeling.
The projected electric lines from
Cadiz and st. Clairsyille through
Bridgeport and Martins Ferry to
Wheeling are moves in the right direc-
ton We should. as a city, give them
all possible encouragement and give
them an inlet to or through the busi-
ness section. The better and cheaper
the transportation facilities between
Cadiz, st. Clairsyille, Wellsburg and
other nearby towns and this city, which
is their natural trade centre, the greater
will be the advantage to them and to
us. AS to the proposed exit by cleo
trio lines along Twenty -ninth and other
streets, and the opening up OF new sub
urban residence sections ON the hills,
1t is an excellent idea. That is where
want to live, on the hills. They give
you fresh air, freedom from dust and
smoke and the ceaseless roar OF the
great mills and factories and street
traffic. They give health and rest to
the people who live there. II is only a
question OF a. few years till the swiftly
growing business interests OF our city
must inevitably absorb the streets In
the heart of the city. II Is the history
of every city, the memorable law oil
growth in business and population.
People will be all the happier and
healthier from living over the hills, and
we should give them cheap fares, rapid
transit and lots of 1t. Put me down
and this house down, as being in favor
OF progress now and all the time.
Mr.. C. A. House. the we'll known
music man: "Cadiz and st. Clairsville
and Welisburg are going to have troll
ley line connection with Wheeling. via

Terminal bridge? Well, that suits me!
The more the merrier. Let them come
and let Wheeling meet them at The
door and give them a way down town

neighbors. We can't have too many

What's that? A new suburban line

euc.? You are in the railroad line to-
day, sure enough! Certainly 1t Is
good Idea. Wheeling is getting to bt
big commercial centre, and business
is crowding the residence section OF its
old boundaries, and ordering 1t tt
move on" We want to enlarge oul
boundaries. These proposed suburban
lines will greatly assist in doing this
The residence section of the future
Greater Wheeling will be on and
among the hills and the beautiful val
Ieys. Yes, favor the line out Twenty
ninth street, or any line that opens the
suburbs and gives us cheap and rapid
transit.
At Nesbitt & Bro hardware house
the Register man was heartily well
coined and received an encore when
he stated his mission. Yes; we favor
letting in all lines that connect us with
outside towns such as Cadiz, st. Glars
vile, Wellsburg, etc, and new lines
giving us rapid transit and cheap fare
to our suburban territory, old or new.
We would not object to a double track
on Market street il it is necessary. to
accommodate the new roads. We are
opposed to the granting Of exclusive
franchises to any electric road. Wheel
ing should keep the door open for new
lines and bring them through the citys
business heart. We want the trade OF
these outlying towns of which this city
Is the natural center and we want
their products, for which we are ready
to pay them good prices. Look at the
roundabout route the people OF Cadi2
have to travel to reach us now. The
