BIG CARS ON STREET
TRAIN COULD USE SELMA STREET
 CAR TRACKS.
Some Citizsns See Prospects of Broad Street Beang Used by . Rail- roaA Some Distant
 Date.

Selma, March 2e.-(6peciea. )-LAr8e box cars of different railroad lines. as well as large wood and steel gondola coal cars are getting to be common in the retail businsss district Of the city on Broad Street
 The many railroad cars which are getting to be 70 common in the busi- ness district are being used by the electric street car line to haul into the city the material which will be used in the rebuilding of the track of the car line. The cars are switched from the railroad and hauled into the city, where they are unloaded and are then switched back to the railroads.
 The new rails. which will be put down on Broad and Water Streets. by the car line, are as heavy and as big as are those in use on the Pennsylvania system, or any other railroad system, in the United States.
 Steel crossties will also be used in the laying of the new rails and all or the other material which will be used in the laying of the new tracks will be In the country.
 The many big box and coal cars which have been seen in the business district of the city during the past few days have caused many citizens to wonder if 1t will be many years before long trains of such ca-s passing over the street will occur several times eacn day. There are many here who are firm in their belief that before many years the street car lines through the business section will be used by some railroad in coming in and going out of the city.
 The street car company will proba bly begin the work of relaying theif tracks upon Broad and Water Streets tomorrow or Wednesday. When start ed this work will be quickly completed and then the work of laying the pav- ing material will begin.
