is the date set for the completion OF
the street car line between here anl
clarksbueg, and 1t is to hoped that
nothing will occur that will extend
that date. The open weather of the
last few days has enabled the work
ers to make rapid progress, and only
about qnonths grading remains to
be done. Several car loads Of ties
and rails have been unloaded along
the route, and construction of the
track will begin within the next ten
days. 1t is a splendid grade, and
from a strict engineering basis it is
doubtful IL any can be equaled in the
state. Owing to the heavy travel
here and the inferior service on the
railroad, the trolley cars will be a
great convenience to all.
