 ON CENTRAL AVENUE.

That public convenience and neces- sity does not require the operation of stage line on Central avenue is the opinion of the corporation commission, which yesterday denied the application of Otto F. Beutke to operate between sherman street and the Indian school

In the meantime the street car company changed its schedule. giving patrons 15-minute service. and made better connections with the down town cars.
 Beutke, who applied for a franchise to operate a stage line on the city streets, also was denied this right by the city commission.
