Fifth and Market streets, expressed
the opinion that he didn't see where
a single track in Market street would
improve Market street business"
John S. Mullin. head Of the clothing
company Of that name. said THE
plan is well worth the consideration
of the people, / believe in having 4
two-street town and not one-street
city A trolley loop in Market street
and King street would be a decided
improvement, and ! would have all
suburban lines come into the city and
run its cars around this loop. II would
be a big improvement and make Mar
ket street more Of a boulevard"

+. s. r. Butler Of the firm a. z.
s. R. Butler and Son. is opposed TO
any change from the present system.
He said:
81 know of nobody in Market
street complaining of too many Gus
a
few more Insofar as congested
traffic is concerned, think business
Is like water and will find its own
level What would improve Market
street, however. would be the re-
moval of automobiles which park
there and the loafers who take up
their stand on the curb on Saturday
nights. I also believe in giving the
trolley cars a right of way. They
are carriers Of many people while
automobiles in many instances have
but one passenger, yet I saw traf-
&c officer hold back street car one
day recently for an automobile that
was fully a half block away"

Jones Cigar Store expressed the opin-
on that single tracking Market street
would kill business in that thorough
fare.
