AN OLD QUESTION
IS BEING REVIVED
vflI THE STREET CARS RUN TIC

81 THE NEAR FUTURE.

Apropos OF the street car line con.

which there is such activity at pres.
ssnL comes the old question, win
there ever be a, line operating from
the depot to the central portion Of
the city. There is growing belief
that this win be realized and IN the
near future. too Most people. want
to- know how a line could be run as
there is no plausible way OF reach.
ing that low section the way the
streets are now constructed.
The local traction company owns
the lot across the street from the
Tavern and II would be compare.
lively matter to build a loop from
Washington street to the end OF the
suspension bridge. This is thought
oSbe the plan most favored by the
,pfhcials OF the company.
Then again man in the west has
recently perfected an apparatus to be
used ION street cars for hill climbing
purposes and there is no doubt that
that could be used on Bridge Hill. And
stiil there is another plausible scheme
that is hardly probable however.
That is the building of double
deck bridge across the river. the cars
to run on the upper deck while the
wagon and foot thoroughfares would
be on the lower. Then cars could be
run from grade at about the level
OF Washington street or trifie lower
md reach the main portion of the
First ward at about the proper height.
All we can do now is to wait.

lively that what Mr.. Bowers said was
wholly on his own responsibility and
no one knew OF II but himself and Mr..
-Northcott. Mr.. Bowers is unaware
OF lthe fact that we are publishing
this story but he will recognize the
earmarks OF truth when ne reads It.
The pledge" of Mr.. Bowers was
given TO Mr.. Northcott just after he
declined to accept the appointment
as Collector of Internal Revenue.
That action OF Mr.. Northcott. under
the circumstances existent at that
time, met with such hearty approval
by Mr.. Bowers that upon meeting
Mr.. Northcott he said: ''Northcott,
that was a mighty manly thing to do
and am for you for governor" Out
OF that remark came the stories which
have filed columns of space in a
number of papers.
