Contrary 10 repCrts that tho entire
City Railway system throughout the
rity will be discontinued in the near
future, MIR Stern. manager OF inc
Wheeling Public Service company
stated yesterday thai these repol Is
were without foundation and branded
them as false. Mr.. Stern does not
know how these reports came IN CIR
culation but as they have been carried
several times in local newspapers ne
wishes 20 correct them through the
large circulation Of the lntolligencer.
The recent rumor that tho tracks
now used by the East Wheeling Loop
car on Fourteenth street Will be taken
ND next week by the contractors no"

II is understood that residents or
the East End are preparing 10 take
action on the matter as the little car
which runs out that way every -
minutes means a whole lot 70 the
neighbOrhOCa and without il they will
be severely Handicapped. The car
turns out from Market street at Sev'
onteenth 10 ChaTliNc where il turns
down to Eighteenth and goes out thai
street to Wood whore il runs north to
Fourteenth and then comes back to
the city office OF The company.
What Residents Think
One resident Of the East End when
interviewed last night stated that the
street car company was required by
Law To get the approval Of the Public
Service Commission and with this
risht already in the hands Of the COM
pany it seemed very probable that the
residents Of tho section whore the
car runs should have some say in the
matter Of the discontinuance Of the
car. when the Loop Is cut out,
the only means Of transportation
available to the residents Of East
Wheeling will be the Elm Grove cars
which run in Fifteenth street and out
Sixteenth" stated the resident. while
most Of tho business handled by the
Loop is with The people below those
streets although 4 great many from
that district also patrOni7o tho little
car. The Elm Grove cars are always
crowded either wat one would wtE'
to ride and this will mako il very IN,
handy for those only wishing 10 ride
to East Wheeling
This kind Of service Is olso not
worth tho price which on" IS forced
