TOO MANY CAR TRACKS.
Columbus Merchants Fear the Ruin of
Their Principal Street.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
COLUMBUS, Ind. July 23.-The street
railway and interurban situation in this
place is becoming somewhat complicated.
The street-railway system here is owned
and operated by John S. Crump under a
franchise granted by the City Council about
twelve years ago over certain streets,
among which is Washington street the
principal business thoroughfare. 1t was
over this street that the City Council last
week granted a fifty-year franchise to the
Messrs. Irwin for the extension of their in
terurban road from Franklin. Mr.. Crump
and the Messrs. Irwin failed to come to
terms by which the interurban could enter
the city over the Crump tracks, hence the
asking and granting of the independent
franchise to the new road.
Now Mr.. Crump threatens to doube-track
his line on Washington street Property
owners on Washington street are vigorously
protesting against double-tra cking that
street and declare they will go to the courts
to prevent it. Now that third track is
within the range of possibilities they will
redouble their efforts to prevent the aban-
donment of the street to car lines.
