SAVE THE STREET RAILWAY.

Some months ago when tho
employees Of the Chickasha Street
Railway company went out on q
strike for higher wages, it looked
like the city was in grave danger
of losing this very necessary util-
ity. Temporary arrangements
were finally worked out for con
tinuing the service in a limited
way and thus the matter has
dragged along
That the company has been los
ing money has been clearly estab-
lished and it therefore became
evident that something must be
done to give permanent relief.
The company finally decided that
a substantial reduction in operat-
ing expenses could be effected by
shortening the line They asked
for a right Of way on Alabama
avenue and the council passed the
necessary ordinance granting the
same but there is a small part Of
this avenue which has never been
opened. Mr.. r. S. Hendricks,
member Of the council, very gen
erously offered to donate the nee
essary land. leaving it TO Che city
to do nothing except TO defray
the expenses Of opening the
street, amounting to about $500
it was estimated.
The company has agreed to be-
gin work as soon as the street is
opened and we can see no rea son
why the council should not act
promptly Certainly, the matter
is of the most vital concern 70 the
city and the outlay required is Il
mere bagatelle compared with The
benefits accruing from it. We
cannot afford to lose the ear line
and we feel sure that the citizens
will approve Of the expenditure
of the small amount Of money re-
1uirod to keep it. 1t is a business
proposition and the city should
promptly take advantage of the
opportunity before ii.

CITY COUNCIL MEETS
EMERGENCY

1t didn't take long for the city
council to set in motion the ma
chinery necessary to relieve the
fuel shortage in ChiclSasha. The
aldermen promptly decided 10 go
the wood route as the surest path
and there can be no question as
to the wisdom Of their course.
With an abundance of timber
available within a few miles. there
is no reason why the people Of
Chickasha should suffer from the
lack Of fuel. It is merely ques-
tion Of getting it cut and deliver
ed and while there will be plenty
Of difficulties to overcome in do
ing this. we have no doubt that
the men entrusted with the I'M
dertaking viii get away with the
job.
The city officials are to be com
mended for their promptness in
meeting the serious emergency
which confronts the community
and for taking the most effective
measures in sight. They were
quick to realize their responsible
ties and the practical plan adopt
ed shows that they understand
how the situation must be met
