Citizens Of this section wers glad 10
see an Improvement in the service OF
the Anacosua and Potomac River Rail-
road Company about a week ago. when
a three minute schedule for both morn
ing and night was placed in operation.
Since this new schedule went into ef-
feet. however. it has been found neces-
sary TO send some of the cars back to
the city from the switch at Monroe and
Grant streets, because of the fact that
1t would take too long to run all of the
cars on the single track to the Franklin
street station The company proposes
10 extend the double track from the
switch al Monroe and Grant streets to
the waiting room at Franklin street. so
that all Of the cars running according
TO the new schedule may go all the way
10 the Franklin street station.
