ton, Augusta & Waterville Street Rail-
wav went back to slower schedule
between this city and Augusta was the
frequency with which the cars were

Manager Harry r. Ivers told the re-
porter of the Journal that cars have
been held as long as 10 minutes ana
often a car would get caught at two
crossings on one trip. which would put
the whole system in disorder, so far
as the schedule was concerned. WIN
