MANY CHANGES
IN CAR SERVICE
Line to Fort Douglas Via First
Avenue to be Temporar-
lily Discontinued.

The Utah Light & Railway company
will begin Monday next, extending the
Third avenue car tracks from S TO V
streets, thus connecting with the high
line to Fort Douglas. At the same
time, the First avenue cars will stop
az r street, and the track from that
point north on 7, east on Second
avenue. and north or v street to Third
avenue, will be torn up. The immedi-
ate occasion for this last is that the
macadam builders on Second avenue
are now up to T street, and the track
is in their way.
The line TO Fort Douglas will be dis
continued temporarily, or until the Inn
provement on Brigham between Tenth
and Thirteenth East streets Is COM
pleted, and the new tracks laid down.
when that line will be connected up
with the line to the military post, from
Third avenue and V streets, and the
Fort Douglas connection made. The
company is setting new side street
poles on Third avenue from which will
be suspended cross wires supporting
the trolley wires. and carrying also the
electric light wires. The poles now in
the center OF the roadway will then be
removed, leaving the avenue clear of
these unsightly membranes. The
Bell Telephone company Is gradually
removing IT'S wires from lne east ana
west streets of the north bench. con-
Meeting the interior OF blocks from
cables ON alternate north and south
streets, SO the trolley wires will be the
only ones overhead on Third avenue,
while the other avenues, except First
and Sixth, will have no wire overhead
at all
Another change will be made the
first of the month when the depot cars
now running to Fifth North street on
Third West. will turn west on Fifth
North TO Fourth West street, and
thence run north two and a half miles
10 Superior addition, or within half a
mile of Beck's Hot Springs. An ex-
tension Will be made to the Springs
as soon as local traffic will warrant the
outlay. The Center street cars already
run to Pascoe quarries, north of the
