The buzz of excitement on this side
of the river over the street car. project
has communicated itself to the other
side of the stream and North MankatC
denizens are all agog over the probable
ity of the venture being at last a 90.
The North Mankatonians do not relish
the idea of street car line developing
West Mankato, while the old methods
of.locomotion are still i'm vogue i'm the
village of Brooklyn" For years North
Mankato has been a sort of overflow
ground for the population of Mankato,
and the city could not very well grow
lengthwise to any considerable degree,
owing to the, want of transportation ia
cilities. But if there is once a street
car line, connecting Dukes addition and
West Mankato with the heart of the
city all this will be changed. The prop
erty owners of North Mankato feel that
their holdings will be damaged by the
diversion of the tide of immigration to
the outskirts of the city. They there
fore want branch car line to run over
the bridge and already there is talk of
getting the company to obtain North
Mankato franchise and run down Bel
grade avenue.
At the same time a number of North
Mankato people have subscribed for the
stock of the new company, as they wish
to see the whole settlement grow and
are in the hope that as soon as the
line is built over here, it will be easy
to get an extension into their village.
The syndicate that has the street rail
&c 10 b,,
a gang of men hired to begin the work
of tearing up Front street on Saturday
morning. Articles of incorporation are
being framed up for the organization
of the company itself, which is to be
known as The Mankato Electric Trac-
ton company. The amount of the CAPT
talization has not yet been definitely de-
cided upon.
