AN ALTERATION.
Today an alteration in the street car
service was 10 have gone into effect, but
owing 10 some little defect I'm the new
trolley wire on the Pawtucket end OF the
line the change was put OFF until tomor-
row. The ears which have been running
between Watchemo<et and Phillippsdale
are TO have their terminus at Ingraham's
Corner instead OF at Watchemoket
square.
This will give trolley service to a
number of residents of Broadway who
now have TO walk either down to War
rem avenue or up to Broadway Six Cor
ners To take a car. The trips will be
made In an hour as they are now. but the
cars VIII run to the center OF the city
In Pawtucket instead OF just over the
city line as they have done heretofore.
Under the old order OF things the cars
run 10 meet the Pawtucket cars a Httle
beyond the railroad crossing and then
change OF cars was necessary to reach
the business section OF the city. The
change will make the city OF Pawtucket
more easy OF access than Providence and
consequently II is thought that consid-
cradle trade will be diverted TO that city
