street Railway Receives Protests on
Rather Than Demands for Cone
Meeting Limo Across
Heart of city.

With the announcement that the street
railway company was TO build a cross
town line came opposition at once instead
Of demand for the line. But two prac-
teal lines are available, Twenty fourth
street and Thirty-third street and numer-
Gus complaints have reached the directors
of the street railway company in respect
TO both these lines. Creighton university
complains against the Twenty-fourth street
line and opposition to this line is also met
near Farnam street from Senator Willard
and other property owners in that neigh
borhood. They maintain the street is too
narrow for a double track, which. il put
down. would occupy most OF the street.
Residents along Thirty-third street also
are making complaints against the use OF
that street. There are some fine residences
along Thirty-third street and the owners
maintain their peace and quiet would be
disturbed by having a car run along that
fashionable thoroughfare.
The company is considering several plans
for a cross-town line One plan for the
Thirty-third street line would be to run
cars out Farnam street TO Thirty-third and
run some north to Thirty-third and Cali
fornia. and then on north along the route
Of the Harvey street line. and to run some
south to Deavenworth and on over to
Thirty-second and Pacific streets Another
plan is to run cross-town line back and
forth along Thirty-second street to connect
the Harvey street line at Thirty-third and
California street with the Park line at
Thirty-second and Pacific streets.

Opposition Not New.

Some years ago scheme was on foot
to cut through Twenty-fourth street. from
Burt to California, and make a grade FROM
California street to Cunning street. The
scheme had even gone so far as to have
the appraisement made and an ordinance
was before the city council for passage with
Creighton university protesting. Count
Creighton appeared in person before the
council and made a plea to stop the pas
sage of the ordinance. 1t failed to carry.
BY many the Twenty-fourth street line Is
looked upon as the most practical for a
cross-town line, 1t would serve people
from all sections Of the city and cars could
be run from Twenty-fourth and Ames ave-
nue. to South Omaha over the line which Is
already being built from Vinton street to
Leavenworth on Twenty-fourth street.

up over the prospects Of a suburban line
to run through that place to the country

HALF DOG FINE
TO De PAID To
PLA|NANTS

The new ordinance providing a hne
Of IS for the owners OF dogs found at
large on the public highways was
adopted by the board OF aldermen at
the meeting this afternoon, upon the
recommendation OF the city council
committee on ordinances
This ordinance will take effect on
Jan. l and continue in force for the
following six months. providing the
common council at the netting tomor-
row night concurs with the board Of
aldermen.
While this measure is not so severe
as the one held up at the last meeting
OF the common council. IL is expected
that IL will meet with opposition in
that branch. as II is still regarded as
being too drastic by some OF the mem
bers.
The law already provides that the
dog officer shall kill all homeless dogs
found; and this new ordinance will not
effect chat
Under the ordinance one half OF the
fine goes 10 the complainant, while the
other half will be used for the support
Of the public schools. the same as the
dog license fee
Against this provision giving half
OF the fine 20 the complainant IL is ex-
pected that opposition will be made.
as IL Is argued that IL may lead 10
many troublesome complications in en-
couraging those who have a spite to
vent upon others; and by many IL is
regarded as against good public policy
any way.

in these invitations the high character
OF the school work OF Providence is re-
ceiving 1attering recognition In other edu-
cational centres. The committee decided
