The Reelfoot Lake bill referred to
last week providing for a commits
sion of five men to control the lake
with authority and power to make
rules and regulations governing the
same, was not passed as stated by
the Legislature. The bill was in
troduced by Mr.. Mcpade but failed,
and since Reelfoot Lake was made
an exception in the general fish and
game bill recently passed, there is
no change in the laws governing
Reelfoot Lake. However, we are in
formed that some amendments were
offered to the general bill, but
whether they have any relation or
not to Reelfoot Lake we do not
know. There were number of
local county bills passed with ref
erence to game and fish, but none
for Obion County.

The Commercial regrets exceed
ingly that the name Of our esteemed
friend, Col. Jas. M. Brice, editor of
the News-Banner, was not mention
ed in this paper with the speakers
last week at the Hugh Mcdonald
memorial service at Troy. Mr.. Brice
was selected by the veterans as one
of the orators of the day, and we had
no inclination or desire whatever to
overlook the splendid tribute he
paid to one of the best men Obion
County ever sent out to defend her
good name. We assure the Colonel
that the mistake was purely acct
dental.

COMPANY READY TO BUILD PRO.
vlpING IT is RELIEVED OF
PAVING.
PROPERTY OWNERS ARE
GENERALLY FAVORABLE
Remain the Same to Property Own
ers-Extension Will Prove Of Benefit
to MeIrose Park Residents, Fair
Grounds and Lennox Furnace Factory

An extension of the East Main street
line of the Iowa Railway and Light
Company. from the end of the present
tracks at Ninth avenue to the Linn
creek bridge, distan, OF about three
blocks, may be laid as result Of nego-
tons now being undertaken by persons
interested in the development OF the
eastern part of the city.
Definite promise Of the street car
company has been secured that II VIII
Law the track. providing the company
will not be assessed for the paving
between its rails and one loot on either
tide.
Property owners have been seen, and
quite generally they are favorable TO
the project, as they realize the paving
without the tracks viii cost the same
as t would were the tracks laid. Formal
waivers have not been secured to all
che property. however, but the indica-
lions are that there viii be no serious
objection to the undertaking.
Fair Board Interested.
The county fair board is interested
in the project, as an extension of the
street car line alongside OF the fair
grounds would help greatly in handling
the big crowds during the fair time.
The people of Merose park are also
greatly interested. as 1t would put them
closer to the car line. The Lennox
Furnace Company is interested from
the fact that the extension would bring
the line nearer its new factory, and
employees use the cars a great deal.
From an operating standpoint how
ever, the street car company could not
see its way clear to build the line with
out some concession, for the company
does not believe the line win pay-at
least not until the east part OF town is
built up more extensively. In time,
however, with the work being done &c
build up the east part Of the city with
residences, the line will probably be a
better investment than it will prove for
a few years to come.
Ask Supervisors to Help.
j Several members OF the executive
board Of the county fair association
have Joined In a request to the board
of supervisors to sign a paving waiver
on behalf OF the county. which owns
he land on the south side of the street
along where the extension would be
built. While the request has not been
presented to the supervisors formally.
members of the board who have been
approached individually in an effort to
sound them as to their prospective atti-
tude. expressed the opinion that they
could see no difference in cost whether
the county paid its share Of paving
without the street car line, or paid the
street car company's assessment for
the improvement the company would
make.
