CARS RUN TOO FAST
Second Ward Residents Pro-
test Against Their Speed.

Protest probably will be made to the
city council by the Second Ward I'M
proVement association against the al
legged excessive speed at which he
Saltwater cars are being run, and also
against the refusal of the company to
stop it's cars within the city limits to
accommodate local passengers who
wish to take the same.
1.-The Saltwater cars are being run
on East Seventh street at a speed of
from twenty to thirty miles an hour,
said George E. Rodenberg. secretary Of
the association, last night, while the
city ordinance provides that they shall
not exceed twelve miles an hour. Not
only that, but they refuse to stop at
crossings for passengers, and the East
Side residents believe that they are be-
ing ill-uSed in these two particulars.
There will be a protest made to the
council, If the expressions heard among
the members Of the association are any
criterion"
There was no meeting of the Second
Ward improvement association last
evening, because of Labor Day. Sew

however, and they discussed the speed
of the street cars on the East Side and
their refusal to stop for passengers,
Will lIt lIldl Witch the lIlpI I'VE
ment association meets next Monday
evening the question of the speed of
Tom Lowry's cars will be one of the
questions to be considered.

city like express trains said Mr.. Ro-
denberg, "and common people cannot
get a chance to get aboard. We would
like to see how far the special privi-
leges of this corporation CO." ,,o
Another question that will occupy
the attention of the people when they
get together is the pavement of Sixth
street, from Hoffman to Arcade. It is
desired to pave this street with ma
cadam. 1t is believed by the property
owners along this, thoroughfare that
the foregoing style of pavement will be
less, expensive, more durable and even

style, of pavement which could be

FIFTH WARDERS WANT
A CROSS-TOWN LINE
West End Improvement Association
Will Urge Its Necessity at To-
nights Meeting.

There will be a meeting of the West
End Improvement association this
evening at st. Francis hall, James
and Warsaw streets, at which time the
members will discuss plans of securing
cross-town car line. The associa-
ton was only recently organized, but
has large membership, and the cross
town line will be one of the things
which the association will endeavor to
secure.
Another matter which will receive
consideration at the meeting tonight
will be the matter OF securing gas
lights in certain districts in the Fifth
ward, where gasoline lights are now
being burned. During the past sum-
mer the gas company has put in more
than two miles of gas mains on streets
in this district of the city, and the as

the gasoline lights replaced by gas
lights.
