superintendent Meets Council.
Superintendent Young. who is In
charge Of the Cedar Rapids mems
electric lighting system Of, their hone
city, met with the council this morn
ing for the especial purpose of having
the street railway ordinance amend
ed. After making a hasty trip over the
present lines he sought &c meet the
desire OF the council for quicker
service. Mr.. Herman wanted an eight
minute service from uptown to the
depot. and fifteen-minute service on
the Third street and soldiers home
lines. Mr.. Young said he could not
guarantee such service. altho It
might be installed. SO the council COM
promised on an eighteen minute serv-'
ice for the Third street and soldiers
home lines. and nine minute service
from Third street to the depot. This
satisfied not only Mr..
Herman but also Mayor Jones and
Lamb.
The amendments made to the ordi-
nances do not change the date Of the
election.
