TROLLEY SERVICE
IN THE CANYON
viii Pass Into History IN a Few Days,
Wires To Be Taken Down
And Sold.

The hope of many Las Vegans that
the electrical cars will be running to
the Hot Springs and Canyon again
this coming summer, will not be re-
allied. The cars will never run over
that line again unless something is
done to get the Santa Fe officials and
the electric railway people together.
Mr.. Buddecke has just returned from
the east where he made every effort to
reach an agreement with the Santa Fe
people. but without success.
1t has been decided to take down the
trolly wire and sell 1t. as 1t Is now
worth twenty cents pound and repre-
sents large sum of money. 81
Regardless Of what this means in
dollars and cents to either OF the COM
panies concerned, 1t is a most serious
thing for Las Vegas. The canyon Is
the one beautiful attraction convent
ent to the city and the people are the
real sufferers.
