CARS ON WASHINGTON AVENUE

There seems to have been a re
markable change or public sentimeq
in Cairo. with regard TO having street
cars on Washington avenue. Two
years ago the sentiment was prac
tically unanimous against any In
vasion of the avenue for street rail
way purposes, the idea being that
there should be one great thorough
fare through the city, as boulevard,
devoted exclusively TO the use of
horse vehicles
The change of sentiment in this
respect is of very recent date. The
Cairo & Thebes railroad is re
sponsible for it. The public were
given TO understand that the success
Of this very important aud very de
sirable project would depend upon
the crossing of Walnut street TO
Washington avenue and the establish
ment Of depots fronting on the ave
nue. Eight tracks were necessary to
the purposes of this company in con
nection with its depots and the cross
ing Of the street railway with eight
steam railway tracks would Of
course render the operation Of the
street railway impracticable. Hence
the Cairo Traction company was or
dered of Walnut street, and con
scented reluctantly to vacate he street
and come over to Washington ave
nue.. The Cairo & Thebes people cir
culated the necessary petition among
property owners on Washington ave
nue. and. surprising as it may seem,
found very little opposition 10 the
occupation Of the avenue by The
Traction company Thus the Traction
company would have tracks on Wash
iugton avenue from Eighteenth TO
Fourteenth streets and from Eighth
% Second streets. Later the company
found that it would be able To operate
its system more satisfactorily 10 itself
and to the public. by occupying the
avenue continuously from Twentieth
to Second streets and-sciTeulaied a
petition for this privilege This also
was signed by msioE4Ass Of ne prop
erty owners, and it is understood that
a like petition has been signed for the
new Iuterurban company. which will
be presented with an ordinance. at
the council meeting tonight
