CALLING STREETS
UNDER new RULE
Orders for Tri-C City Railway
Conductors Revised at Re-
quest of Civic Body.
AIM TO IMPROVE SERVICE
Regulations Bring to Light Fact That
Sears Roadway Is Known as
Cow Avenue"

Patrons of the Milan line of the Tri-
I City Railway company must not think
the conductor is kidding" them when
he sings out Cow avenue" on APP
preaching one of the intersections in
Sears. He is simply doing his duty. 1t
is Cow avenue and the con has his
orders. Perhaps the village authori-
ties may later be induced to call it
Bovine" boulevard or Dairy drive"
for the sake OF euphony but for the
present il will be plain Cow, avenue.
The practice OF calling ''Hole-iu-the-
Fence" avenue will be discontinued.
The civic department OF the WON
ans club OF Rock Island has been
making an effort for improvement in
street car service and at tine last
meeting OF the department a petition
was drafted TO be sent to Manager j. II.

pany. asking that conductors on all the
lines be required TO call the streets.
especially after night when patrons
are unable to see where they are.

ton OF the department, has revised his
