Owing to the fact that the con
trollers for the new interurban cars
were shipped from the General Elec-
trio company's works at Schenectady,
n. Y, by freight instead of express,
there is no way of finding out wher,,
they are or when they will arrive in
Moline. For this reason there is no
possible way of telling how soon the
line will open. If it takes as long for
the controllers to arrive as it did for
the cars, the opening will not take
place for quite n few days.
