HARD TO SATISFY
WEST END PEOPLE
Council Committee Has Problem
in Selecting Route for New
Car Line.

Publication yesterday for plans for
n new street railway system through
out the West End as projected bv Tho
Richmond and Henrico Railway. nro.
duced an avalanche OF INQUIRIES az
the City Hall. Real estate agents and
property owners west OF the Boule.

but there IL opposition from citizens
living along Stuart Avenue east of III.
Boulevard. II is claimed tina, thts ia

or the people own their own homes
and have bought there because FREQ
from the noise and dust OF a car line.
and where their children would not
always be in danger whenever they
crossed the streets.
Last year the Virginia Railway and
Power Company projected line our
Hanover Avenue, bisecting the great
fan which spreads out between Main
and Broad Streets, west of Harrison
y definite Organization was effected OF
Hanover Avenue citizens and fund
raised TO employ counsel to oppose the
plan. and IT was withdrawn Now the
people of Stuart Avenue-the adtoin-
Ing thsroughfare-are calling on the
residents OF Hanover to join them in
their fight There is a large residence
westward. which has but limited
street car service. many people
living from four TO six blocks
from an existing line, Each
man. apparently. wants car line
through the district. but wants II on
MS neighoor's street-not on his own.
One Plan Already Filed.
Tho Street Committee already has
before IT Tlan submitted by the V!r-
ginia Railway and Power Company
for loop service out Broad and along
West Street, connecting with the ex-
listing Westhampton track on Floyd
Avenue. All agree that there is urgent
need for n street car line through the
district west of the Boulevard to
serve the Benedictine College, the Sol
diers' dome, the Battle Abbey and a
rapidly growing residence section, both
In and out of the city limits. and both
companies are reaching out for the
business
member OF the Street Committee
said yesterday that he thought tho
best way TO meet the situation waa
for the Street Committee and City En-
gineer. In conference with property
owners affected, to map out a proposed
route over the most desirable streets,
serving the whole community now
without car service, Irrespective of tho
plans offered by the Virginia Railway
and Power Company or the Richmond
and Henrico Railway Company, and
then prepare franchise for this route
and offer 1T for sale to the highest
bidder. In this case the city would
show no Partially between the two
companies. would reap a substantial
sum from the sale II what will ono
day become very valuable franchise.
though 1t is admitted that the new
line might not pay we'll at first, and
would secure the location of the cars
on the streets the city authorities
select
1t Is not probable that the Street
Committee will go seriously into the
matter until fall. when hearings will
be given to property owners and to
the representatives OF the two street
railway companies

err the two Offices were Incompatible.

State government.
The members Of the Henry Ward
delegation are President r. Lee Peters
and Councilmen Huber. Vonderlehr and

cation has been called, as the resg-
nation OF Mr.. Saunders has not been
formally presented, and 1t has been
suggested that no caucus be held. but
that the names of those Offering for
the vacancy be placed before the Coun-
ell direct Other names may be pro-
duced. and members of the Council SO
