Transfers Cause Comment.
Some comment is being caused by the
method Of giving transfers on the new
cross-town line OF the Omaha & Council
Bluffs Street Railway company. The source
Of the trouble seems to be that transfers
are only granted at Twenty fourth and
Vinton. According TO one mans statement,
and he said he was member of the city
council when the franchise for the North
Twenty-fourth street car line service was
granted, the company was to issue transfers
to people coming from the stoclyards at
either O or n streets. Since the new SER
vice has been instituted this privilege has
been denied and the business men Of the
city, according to this merchant have been
deprived of trade that he claims legitl-
mately belonged TO South Omaha. The mer-
chant indicated that meeting would be
held in a few days 70 consider the situation.
