INTEREST OF THE PEOPLE
SEEMS UNAPPRECIATEp
Present Tri-City Company Inclined to
be Touchy About Its
Affairs.

There are no new developments
in the situation affecting the tracks OF
| The Tri-City Railway company on Thic,
ty-eighth street where Mayor Schaffa,
ordered imperfect brick removed b,
the city yesterday.
Asked this morning when the Tt
City Railway company proposed put.
ting in good brick. Mr.. Porter asked:
Is it of any particular interest to you
people over there when the work i
done?"
| 1t may in all meekuess be said in
reply to President Porter that it most
assuredly is of particular interest r.
| the people over here when the work is
done for divers reasons.
One is that the property owners on
| Thirty eighth street in particular want
assurances that there is to be as SCUM
paving material in the center of thu
| streets between the street cars tracks
where brick is to be employed as on
| the sides where asphalt is to he used.
Another reason for the particular in
terest of the people in general over
here is that they are anxious to know
if the streets they own are to be taken
as good care of by the company now
occupying them as the former corpo
latiOn took of them.
Another reason is that the present
company has not so far strained Itself
to make good its promises. One OF
these was that there would be 20 OF
the new style cars on the tracks b,
this spring Instead only about a fit
of that number have been turned out
so far
The company also promised to dou
BILE track the Tower line the presen
year Instead it merely patched ii up.
The company also promised to d.
away with the cause of accidents on
the Tower line by providing the biz
) open cars with double trucks. so IA
but one of this class of cars has beef
so equipped.
The company also promised to have
: all of its old track replaced with new
: steel the present year. It is makin'
no strenuous efforts to accomplish thi
) purpose.
The company also promised an inter
urban through Rock Island to pOin
( some miles south of Milan in MERGE
county. 1t is making no move what
5 ever in this direction.
Yes. indeed it is a matter of parti'
S ular interest to the people over her
& what the new company does and whe

Tho family were all asleep upstairs.
over the store. and one or two OF the
Younger children narrowly escaped be-
ing suffocatcd by the dense smoke.
They were rescued by friends who
rushed into the burning house.
The damage was not great, amounts
ing to few hundreds OF dollars. which,
1t is said, is covered by insurance.
Some little damage was done to the
stock in tho store below, which was,
injured by the water.
The second alarm was from lakewood.
where slight blaze was started by
boys glighgting matches TO look Tor
pennies beneath the boardwalk. The
boys went under the boardwalk in tho
hope of finding pennies dropped there,
and several burning matches were
dropped by the eager youngsters among
some shavIngs. The shavngs caught

excitement was created.
