General Manager Myers of City
Railway Puts Foot Down.
People Are Right About Haul
ing of Freight.
FOR THE SHOREY LINE.
Estimates of Extension Are Now
Being Made.
Says That Proposition There Is
a Good One.
DIR THE SHOREY LINE.

Engineers estimates for the extern
sion of the street railway tracks from
North Kansas avenue to Shorey and
thence to the Reform school are now
being prepared. As soon as the esti-
mates have been completed it is very
probable that the construction of the
extension will be made.
Mr.. L. z. Myers vice president of
the street railway company. who has
been in the city for the past several
days, said: 1.-THE prospects for build
ing the extension to the Reform
school are very good. There are a
large number of people living out in
that part of the town and there would
be considerable of other traffic which
could be diverted to the street rail-
way which at this time is, however, an
unsettled matter.
1.-THE conditions are very much bet
ter surrounding shorey than they are
out at Sea brook am afraid we
can't do anything on that seabrook
extension We have too many lines
now that are not making any money,
without adding to them. When we
built the Highland Park line we
thought that it would build UP rap
idly with homes, but we found we
were mistaken. It would be the same
way out at Seabrook. These real
estate men Of course would like to sell
the land, and a line would help sell it.
We cant see our way clear to build
the extension at this time. The peo-
pie forget that there are other years
after the first year which must be
provided for, though they offer to
put up some cash as a guarantee for
the first year
Mr. Myers does not seeming ely share
the same opinion voiced by some Of
the employees of the company when
they attempted to have an ordinance
passed permitting the hauling of
freight in an unrestricted manner by
the company through the streets of
the city.
81 am opposed to the indiscrimi-
nate hauling of freight through the
city said Mr.. Myers. 1.-THE people
are entirely right when they object
and / know that if I was one of them
I would feel exactly the same way
! about It. I believe, however. there is
some middle ground on which both
