TRACTION ca,
AND MAIN ST.
WHY WORK ON EXTENSION OUT
MAIN IS oELAYEo--pEPENps
ON PROPERTY OWNERS.
ALL OWNERS ON FOURTH
STREET sign RELEASES
When Edwards Street Extension In
Completed Fourth Street Will Come
Next Unless Main Street Residents
Remove Difficulty.

In recent issue of The Daily News
1t was stated that the Traction Com
pany would In short time complete
its work on the Woman's College line.
after which they would begin at once
on the Fourth street line. This report
had the effect of stirring up considera-
BILE agitation on upper Main street,
where it had been promised the next
work would be done.
In order to learn just what are the
plans regarding these extensions, a
News representative interviewed Mr..
G. 2. Stevens, superintendent Of the
Traction Company. Mr.. Stevens said
It had been the intention of the COM
pany to make the extension on
Main street before going to Fourth
street, but difficulty has arisen. He
says that under a decision Of the
Supreme Court 1t Is necessary for the
owners of abutting property to con-
sent to the laying of street car line
before the company is absolved from
liability for damages. Acting on the
r advice Of their general counsel, the
Traction Company does not feel safe
In putting down track until property
owners effected have signed releases
agreeing forever to release the COM
pany from liability for the putting
down Of a car line in front Of their
property.
It appears that on Main street there
are a few who have not executed this
release, while on Fourth street every
property owner has signed the re-
,quired release, and there is now no
legal bar to the putting down of the
track on that route. 1t Is believed
that those on Main street, who have
not given the requisite release will do
so when they give the matter careful
thought, and If the few additional re-
leases are forth coming work on Main
street will receive prompt attention
as soon as Edwards street line is COM
pleted.
