Company Takes Up Tracks.
The omaha d Council Bluffs street
Railway company is busy taking up
line Of old track on n street and on Twen-
ty-siXth street to the j. street Naduct.
Ihis track has never been in operation
since the heavy cars we're placed IN serv-
ice in South Omaha. The south Omaha
city council has many times passed Feso-
hItons ordering the company to take up
this track, but the company has never
done it, With the laying of the track
across the q street viaduct the necessity
of maintaining any semblance of a line ON
Twenty-sixth street was obvated. The old
line had been left there apparently to
maintain the right to use that particular
street If SO desired at any time. "A
