City Hall Scene Last Night of
Spirited Discussion of Tro'-
ley Situation
TWO PROPOSALS UP
TO STREETS COMMITTEE
Representatives Of St. Paul 8
Church Protest Against
Routing of Additional Cars
Up Ninth Street

The Committee on Streets, meeting
last night. were confronted with a
large and earnest delegation Of citizens
from the Northsldc, who were on hand
to support their petitions for the re-
routing of the street cars running to
Barton Heights. Giuter Park. and
Highland Park. The two petitions.
one including the requests of the
citizens of Barton Heights, Ginter
Park and South Richmond. and the
other setting forth the claims Of the
residents OF Highland Park, were pro-
duced. bearing the signatures Of a ma
jorits Of ne citizens of these localities.
Some two hundred men we're present
from these sections.
The petitions presented en braced
practically the same ideas as the ordt-
nance passed by the Common Council
some months ago. but which failed to
meet the approval of the Board OF
Aldermen. The Barton Heights, Gin
ter Park and South Richmond con-
tingcnt were on hand TO ask that re-
routing plans OF street cars be brought
about as follows: BY removing the
Henrico line In Jackson Ward, and
running these cars into Barton
Heights, by laying a double track into
this section. and by running the Ginter
Park cars through from Ginter Park
10 HUH Street. This would give the
residents of Ginter Park and Barton
Heights n five-minute schedule. and at
the same time would allow the Rail-
way and Power Company to remove
the Jackson Ward line, which is be-
ing run al a loss The fve-n mute
schedule for the Northside was the
main idea.
