There can be little question that

until all, that should be, will have
been replaced. wish that you would
present such o program to this COM

earliest possible moment.
"In my Judgment such plan should
contemplate the replacement Of the
oldest Of those cars now In service with
the most modern type Of street car
presently available and at rate Of
not less than 80 cars per year, the
first so to be In service not later than
the middle Of 1887. Some such plan

Wednesday by George Berry, CO.
