Colonel Parker has prepared the
text of a bill to amend the law so that
the street railway lines may be ex-
tended outside the city limits to state
institutions, where they are located
outside of corporations a mile distant.
Under the present law they can not be
extended unless the highway is 100
feet wide, and as country roads only
have a width of sixty-siN feet. they
are practically prohibited from the use
of them. This will enable our street
railways to extend to the soldiers
home, as we'll as be benefit to places
like Ames and Independence. where
state institutions are some distance out
of town.
