Relic of Williams Ambition to
Make independence a Great
City to Disappear
CAR LINE TO BE TORN UP
Williams Built Electric Line, Hotel
and Opera House and Great Race
Track, and Went Broke-car Line
Never Paid and Must Quit or Pay
Paving Tax.
Special to Times-Republican.

| independence, June ga relic OF
the dream of Williams, wi,o gained a
| world wide reputation as a horseman,
to make of independence q great city
! and the mecca Of the lovers of the rat-
ing sport is to disappear. Ths street
cas- line, which was desis led to carry
the mIl.itudes from the town to the
great kite-shaped driving park, Is to
be abandoned and torn up.
This piece of foolish enterprise can
not stand the assessments made neces-
sary by the gradual progress and
growth of Williams former home. If
the line continues to occupy the streets
| it must pay the assessments for paw
ing.
The Williams properties have al
ways been the pride OF the city, and
Independence is the smallest town in
the middle west with tirst-c class cleo
trio street car line. The hotel and OPP
era house have probably shown fair
profit on the investment, but the car
line has been a constant drag, and there
is nothing in the future outlook war
ranting the big additional investment
made necessary by the paving.
1t is ceEtain that the Independence
street car line will soon be thing of
the past, much as such an outcome is
to be regretted. But that is the decis-
ion arrived at by the directors of the
Gedney company, because they feel
that the limit has been reached and
that it is financial folly to put up the
large amount of money made neces-
sary by the new paving, simply as a
matter Of pride in keeping up prop
osition that never has returned any
profit and from present appearances
never will.
The Gedney people are local capt.
talists who took over the Williams
properties largely as a matter of 10y
atty to the town, where they had lived
SO long and made their money. They
are all in favor Of paving, but as be-
tween paving and the street car line
one must go. and it now looks as if it
will be the latter.
