HORSE CARS OVER
MAYO'S BRIDGE
Will Be Run Only Until the
Bridge is Safe Enough for
Electric Cars.

The horSe-carS being run on the -Four
teenth-Sreet line and Mayo's Bridge have
been placed there by the Passenger and
Power Company temporarily, in order
that those who have complained may get
the relief they seek.
In an interview General Manager DIM
mock states that the merchants in the
vicinity of Fourteenth and Main Streets
claimed they We're being injured by not
having cars run upon Fourteenth street,
anu feeling there was no immediate way
whereby electric cars could be run over
Mayo's Bridge without jeopardizinE the
lives OF the passengers, it was decided
to do all in the company's power to conf
ply with the wishes of the merchants, and
tho only thing which could be done was
to put on horse-cars until the bridge was
put in proper shape to admit OF the cleo
tic cars being run thereon with safety.
When questioned as to why the old small
electric cars could not be used, HIr. Dim
mock stated that they had been scrap
ped" long ago; were obsolete and not now
manufactured. if new ones We're desired.
eff the merchants were being damaged
to the extent they claimed he said. "the
l,orse-cars should certainly bring relief;
but if the public and the merchants in
the vicinity of Fourteenth and Main, as
the horse cars. it will be an easy matter
to take them off, as the company deplores
the circumstances which compel them to
be put on, which they have done at con-
siderable expense in the purchase Of
hcl ses, etc"
.It must be horse-cars or nothing" Mr..
Di1nnaock said "for even if the railway
Ct nlpany and the Mayo Bridge people
come to an agreement Immediately in
regard to the repairs, it will take several
weeks to put the bridge in condition to
run heavy electric cars with safety"
He said that the company had no in
tcntion of abandoning this line or using
any other power permanently than cleo
tricity: that the company had spent large
sums of money for new tracks and trolley
lines on both sides of the river UP to the
bridge, and he hoped that matters could
be arranged in the near future whereby
the electric traffic could be resumed and
the service made satisfactory to all.
