THIRD AVENUE IS
OUTAFTE ALINE
Property Owners Want Double
Car Tracks and Changed
Routing.
COMMITTEE GETS BUSY
Call Is Made on Mayor This Morning
and Plans for the improve
ment Are Discussed

Acting in the interests of the Third
avenue property owners, a committee
of ten met yesterday afternoon at 3
o'clock in the Office of Mayor H. NJ.
Schriver TO discuss the possibility of
action which will lead to the double
tracking OF Third avenue from Tween
ty-fourth street west to Fifteenth
street and thereafter the routing of
either the Fourth avenue or Elm
street car lines over Third avenue.
Those who attended the meeting were
Tom ROsentield, Ralph Haverstick,
George c. Wenger, f. F. Dorm, Henry
Ehrhorn, William Aster, Mrs. Maria
J. Phillips, Louis J. Winter, James
Mcnamara and John Koch. The Tri-
City Railway company has already
been notified by resolution OF the mu-
nicipal commission, following earlier
action of the property owners, to
double track its Third avenue lines.
as provided in their franchise. but
what can be done to bring them TO
route their cars over the thoroughfare
is q matter of conjecture.
FORMER EFFORT MADE.
When the present franchise rights
were granted by the old council, effort
vas made to secure some such change
in the business section routing. but
II met with failure. The Third avenue
business men argue that it will help
10 build up the business district of
the city and at the same time will
prove remedy for any congestion in
the down town district At the pres.
ent time, every car line is routed
along Second avenue, while the Watch
Tower and Bridge line cars run along
Third avenue for only a short dis,
lance.
In all probability the Third avenue
business men will further their plan
for the improvement of the avenue,
after it has been paved with brick. as
provided by new ordinance recently
adopted By the municipal commission

ENGINEERS PLAN
TO MOvESEPT.16
Will Take Up Quarters in New
Postoffice Building on Six
teenth Street.

Sept. 16 has been named as the
noers from their present quarters in
the Safety building to the new post
office. Removal work has already
been begun, and employees are busy
Grating record books and papers,
which are being placed in the store
room at the new offices.
New furniture is being installed in
the offices, and this morning a con
siGnment OF three carloads was re-
ceiveG.
Since the work was begun on the
new building the engineers have been
forced to content themselves with
quarters secured in the Safety build
ing, the entire sixth floor being util-
lied, but this space has been found
insufficient for their needs, and the
local force has been greatly hahdi-
capped because of the cramped quar-.
ters
Much more effective work can be
done in the new offices, where new
file cases and record cabinets are be
ing installed, and where various de.
partment heads will have their own
private offices.
The removal comes at very oppor.
tune time, as with the closing of the
river operations for the season, the
various clerks and Office men on the
government boats will be called in To
headquarters for the winter, and con
sequently more room will be needed
for the big addition to the force.
