 After many years of petitioning on the part of residents of Boswell ave- nue and intersecting streets I am able to report to you that Robert W.

Work of laying the tracks will commence just as soon as the rails and ties arrive. There is nothing further to be done by the city, as all rights and privileges have been granted and no doubt you will see cars running on Boswell ave- nue in 90 days.
 I wish also to state that the exten- sion Of the trolley line to Maplewood cemetery is still under their considera- tion and 1 hope that it will meet with their approval
