II the matter Of installing an alley

devise ways and means for putting
in this very necessary improve

conditions and general convenience.
The matter was referred to the city
attorney with Instructions TO confer
with the property owners affected.

to install two pool tables recently
acquired from Tom Carney in his

Colonel Blunt Proposes to In
crease Efficiency of Spring.

FREIGHT CARS IN STREETS
Would Use City Railway for Transfer
ing Material-Local Arsenal
Admitted Superior.

Colonel Stanhope E. Blunt. formerly
commandant at Rock Island arsenal,
and now commandant of the Spring
field arsenal at Springfield, Mass, is
endeavoring to push plan devised by
him through the city council of that
city to facilitate the transportation of
material to and from the plant to the
railroad yards, which are situated q
considerable distance from the arsenal
buildings. The plan, which would ap-
pear quite radical in this locality, but
which is in effect in certain sections
of the east similarly situated, is the
use of the street railway tracks for the
transportation of freight cars through
the streets of the city.
The permit of the council is neces-
sary to adopt such a method. If al
lowed, the car company would connect
to the railroad tracks and electric mo-
tors would be used at night to transfer
the freight cars nearer to the plant.
Local Arsenal Superior.
The Springfield Union, in its article
announcing Colonel Blunt's plan, makes
a comparison of the Springfield and
Rock Island arsenals, in which it free.
| ly admits the superiority of the local
plant. This it claims is due to its
central location, the presence of the
Mississippi for water power, and spur
| track lines direct to the plant. After
a discussion of the street car track
method. it continues as follows:
With this plan a reality, the fears
of the pessimists that Springfield would
would eventually lose its prestige as 4
| center for the manufacture of govern
ment firearms will vanish. and in theil
| place will come a conviction that wha
