NEW PLAN FOR CHANGING
TRACKS ON EAST BROAD
Company Proposes Substitute Which
Will Take Care of Bust
ness District.
COMMITTEE TO MEET TO-DAY
VIII Make Another Attempt to Adj
just Track Difficulty, Which Has
Ba6led Street Authorities for
Months.

Another attempt will be made by the
council Committee on Streets, this at
tcrnoon, to adjust the East Broad Street
track difficulty, which has been occupy
ing the attention of the street authori-
ties for several months.
After conferences with residents on
East Broad Street and Councilmcn from
the section affected. tho Virginia Rail-
way and Power Company has prepared
modified track-removal plan which
promises to meet tho objections raised
to the several other propositions that
have been laid before the committee.
The new plan. which the committee
Will he asked 10 consider this after
noon. provides for the removal of tho
street car tracks Oh Broad Street from
Twenty-seventh Street castwardly, and
the cooperation OF the company. under
the usual terms, In paving the street
from which the tracks are removed.
WOULD BUILD TRACK
on TNENTi-SENENTH STREET
In accordance with this plan. the
company asks for permission to con-
struct track on Twcnty-seventh
Street. from Broad to Marshall Under
this arrangement Broad and Main
street cars would as they do at pres
cnt. run down Main to Twenty first,
along Twenty-flrSt TO Marshall, along
Marshall to Twenty fourth. and along
Jwenty-fourth back into Broad.
Instead of running down Broad from
Twenty-fourth Street 10 the end OF the
line at ChimboraZo, as they do at pres
ent, the cars would. under the new
plan, run down Broad 10 Twcnty-scv
enth Street, and would At this point re-
turn to Marshall via the proposed new
track on Twenty-scvcnth street, and
then proceed down Marshall to a point
opposite Chimborazo Park.
The new plan meets the objection OF
business men in East Broad street COM
mcrcial section, between Twenty fifth
and Twenty seventh Streets. who were
opposed to the removal OF the street
car limo from in front of their places.
The rerouting proposed keeps the bust
ness men on the car line.
MODIFIED PLAN
OyERCOMES OBJECTIONS
Citizens who objected to the original
proposal to remove all tracks on Broad
Street east OF Twenty-fourth, II Is stat
cd, have given their approval 10 the
substitute. The new plan Will also. TO
large extent, meet the demands of the
Administrative Board which is anxious
10 begin ut once the smooth paving OF
Broad Street from Twcnty-ifth Street
eastward.
In suggesting the new plan the COM
pany accompanies II with the agree
mont. at any time that the Council
should direct, to restore the tracks on
East Broad Street. and make good all
disturbances in the paving.
