TRACTION LINE
SCHEDULES ARE
BEING CHANGED


Changing Illinois lines of the
Tri-City Railway company to one
man car service may bring about
regular III minute schedule be-
tween Rock island and Moline
through the operation OF Prospect
park line ears through to Rock Is
land, it was stated today by officials
of the company.
AT present six Fourth avenue
cars are operated. This gives IS
infinite service from early morning
until l o'clock in the afternoon. AT
this time three Fifteenth street cars
go on from Fifteenth, street, Rock
Island, to Fifteenth street. Moline.
This gives tx minute service in
the afternoons and evenings. The
plan of change that has been con-
sidered contemplates putting five
cars on the Prospect park line, and
run these through to Rock Island
throughout the day, giving a faster
service at all times. However, COM
pany officials said that should such
a change be made it will not come
until the last thing.
The company now has eight
safety cars on the East Moline line,
but these are not the regular cars
Thursday one operator will be left
in charge of each car. The line
will then be given a 10-minute
schedule between the hours of u
noon and p. m. each day. In, the
mornings and after o'clock in
the evening, the usual 15-minute
schedule will be maintained. Six
one-man cars will be operated in
the morning and at night, and eight
cars will be used in the afternoon
This arrangement will make pos
sible cutting down the round-triI
time to an hour and a half
which is Is minutes less then the
present time.
Way Changes to Follow.
The other lines will undergo tbs
change of service quickly. The
Watch Tower line will be the Mex
after the East Moline line change is
completed. Following this the Elm
= street line will get the one-mar
cars, then the Prospect Park line in
Moline and last will come tht
change on the Fourth avenue line

by county commissioners.
Although repeal seems to be the
motto OF many members 1t is re-
garded as a strange fact that no
member has come forward up to
this time with a bill TO abolish the
public service commission. Such
action was talked of loudly a year
ago, but It appears to have SUNK
into the minds OF the law makers
that popular wrath expressed against
the commission was the invention
of an uniformed few rather than
the sober judgment OF the majority
of the people. While there seems
to be no desire to repeal the com
mission law there does exist a dis
tinct sentiment In favor OF amend
ing the service commission law. In
what particular 1t should be amend
ed has not been advanced other
than notions expressed that the
commissions authority should be
