ASK EXTENSION
OF GAR LINES
SECOND WARD COMMITTEE CON.
FERRED WITH STREET RAIL
WAY PEOPLE THIS AFTERNOON
PROBABLE THAT COMPANY
WILL TAKE ACTION.

Messrs. johnson, Ralph Peterson,
Mortinson, Moe, Lundgren and Alder
men Lamb and Wagner, a committee
appointed at q mass meeting of the
voters and others Of the Second ward,
held yesterday afternoon, waited on
the street railway people in Fargo.
this afternoon, for the purpose of ex-
changing views on the matter of hay-
ing the street railway lines extended
so that trolley facilities can be placed
at the disposal OF the people who live
in the Second ward. 1t is claimed
that many working people who live in
the Second ward are at present placed
at a disadvantage and Inconvenience
in making the journey to Fargo where
many of them work.
The meeting yesterday was presid-
ed over by Ralph Peterson and Julius
c. Johnson acted as secretary. There
were free expressions Of opinion and
in some instances ultra radical meth
DDS were urged, but the majority In the
meeting advocated a strictly business
like attitude and the suggestion of the
appointment OF a committee to wait
on the street railway people to tell
the latter what the people would like
was adopted.
1t is known that the street railway
people are inclined to be reasonable
and if it is seen that there is business
to warrant the proposed extension Of
the trolley lines to cover the Second
ward it will be constructed. Some of
the speakers advocated what route
should be taken, but it was the feeling
Of the meeting that that particular
phase of the question should properly
be left to the street railway as they
would be the better judges as to what
was proper and practical.
