General Manaeer Crook Says
the Peoples Line Extension
Will be Ready in Two
Weeks.

we expect TO have our Eleventh
ward extension In operation within
about two weeks" said General Mana
ger Richard w. Crook, Of the Peoples
Railway today.
The completion of the extension has
been awaited with much interest by
residents of the Eleventh ward The
additional service will be welcomed
not alone by Eleventh ward people but
by Wilmingtonians generally. who see
In the extension a tendency on the
part Of the street car companies to
take on additional service as the city
grows larger.
Cars going over the extension will
leave Second street and will go over
Van Buren street, to Cedar, TO Linden
to Harrison and back to Second street
The new route will place five addi-
tional cars into service, which will
run at a ten minute headWay.
Laborers are now at work grading
the street at Van Buren, and Sycamore
Streets Work on the extension was
started two months ago and has been
pushed rapidly by Manager Crook
An evidence of the company's de-
sire to meet a long needed improve
ment was the application made to the
Street and Sewer Directors yesterday
for a franchise to extend the Peoples
line from Seventh and Church streets
to Fourth and Church streets. The
purpose Of the application was to ac-
commodate the people using the VIII
mington steamboat line during the
summer. 1t is likely that this extern
sion will be granted on condition that
the company comply with the Street
and Sewer Directors stipuations.
