ELECTRIC RAILWAY FRANCHISE AP-
Piled EOR.
The GAINESVILLE Interurban Co Wants Per-
mission to Construct Il Line Through
EdgertOn.


Edgerton.
Messrs. D. w. and M. Hayes, 9. W.
Jackman and w. G. Wheeler, of James
vile, representing the Southern Wlscon-
sin Interurban Co., were in town Satur-
day consulting the members of the COM
mon council ard citizens regarding
franchise which this company will ask
the city to grant them for the proposed
electric railway extending from James
vile to Madison. The application has
been filed with the city clerk and will be
found published in full in another col
umn in this paper. The company asks
permission to construct their line ION
Lord street running by the Catholic
church south) Main street or any other
streets lying east thereof, along Victoria
road, Albion road from the end of Vic
toria road to city limits; Stoughton road
and GAINESVILLE road" These options
cover the most natural approaches to
town along the route proposed, without
definitely deciding upon what streets it
is expected to use.
The common council may take action
upon the proposed ordinance after two
weeks publication, and in the meantime
our citizens should carefully consider
the rights and privileges asked of our
city.
The interurban railway is the modern
means of development of the rural dis
tricts and smaller towns and exerting an
influence that will be welcomed. Those
who oppose these improvements, which
are just as sure to come as the steam
roads half century ago, will be brushed
aside by the progressive spirit OF the
times. The people of this age must
keep step with the new march Of civil
zation.
A new candidate for franchises to
build an electric line from GAINESVILLE to
Madison has come into the field during
the week in the GAINESVILLE Traction Co.,
which has already made application to
the common council in the former city.
The plan of the GAINESVILLE company is TO
build line from GAINESVILLE to Madison
via Stoughton, Edgerton, Mcfarland and
| perhaps Milton Junction. The line is to
be managed as part of the GAINESVILLE
| eloit-Rockford system, which was COM
| pleted last year and which is now in sue
cessful operation. 1t is understood that
| negotiations have been made with the
owners Of the Rockford line whereby the
system shall be operated from the Hi
nois city to Madison as continuous
| line, and when the contemplated extern
sion is made, one may take trains from
Madison to Rockford without delay or
change of cars at GAINESVILLE. BY such
an arrangement the earnings Of both
lines would be, it is said, materially in
creased.

having such pupils in charge.

Before calling up pupil during school
hours please remember that the work of

slider whether your message is of suffi-
Gent Importance to warrant such inter
ruption. W. A. CLARK, Prin.

FOR. MUNICIPAL ELECTION
Expected That the Registration This
Year will be Unusually Large, Al
though But Few Have Yet

The best evidence that there will

the election of -four aldermen is the
fact that already the politicians have
commenced the work of registering
and telling their friends to do like.

Inc bonoks were only opened by
Clerk Russell few days ago, and thus
far not very many names have been
added, but, probably after the meeting
tonight at which the first gun in the
coming election will be fired, the poll
ticians will be active and the clerk
will be kept busy entering names on
the large book.
1t has been hoped that the cam
palgn would be short one this year,
but since last Saturday, when the pc
tltlon calling for a meeting tonight
was circulated, started the ball 70
rolling and politics has been the topic
of conversation in the city during the
week
1t is probable that the registration
this year will be very heavy and it
would not be "A surprise of over l 900

that after the meeting tonight every

REACH AGREEMENT
A. G. l.. and S. A. L. De-
eide to Have Inter-
Changeable Business

The Atlantic Coast Line and Sea
board Air Line railways have agreed
upon an interchange of passenger bus
mess at Savasnah and Jacksonville,
to be effective at ono.
At Savannah passenger business
will be freely interchanged between
the two lines destined to or coming
from points in Georgia and Alabama
and beyond, and at Jacksonville for
business destined to or coming from
points in the interior of Florida
Usder the old Plant System regime,
that part of the Atlantic Coast Line
system which will be effected by this
agreement, officials of the Plant Sys-
tenn were very arbitrary In matters
of this kind, and frequently published
circulars giving names of the several
lines with which they desired to give
interchange business, asd among those
excluded at Jacksonville and Savannah
was the old Florida and Peninsular
railroad. which is now a part of the
Seaboard Air Line, which will be most
ly benefited by this agreement. /
those times passengers would have 10
rebuy tickets and have their baggage
recheckedl This system has been
maintained up to the present time.
though negotiations have been in pro-
gress for some time-in fact, since
the Plant System was absorbed by
the Atlantic Coast Line and the Flor
da and Peninsular by the Seaboard
Air Line, and finally resulted in the
agreement which will be untold bene-
fit and convenience through passen,
gers.
