finally come to the conclusion that the con-
ductors OF the TowsOn and Govanstown cars

Friday evening just as regularly as Friday

was in progress for any portion of the Numsen
tract, said that there was absolutely nothing
regarding the matter that he was at liberty to
state.
The present Electric Park tract consists of
