THE ARGUS, FRIDAY; - OCTOBER 25. 1907 r r ' ON FASTER TIME Elm Street Line to be Operated ''with One Car Less Begin ning First of Month. HAS LITTLE EFFECT HERE Change Applies Mainly to Moline End of Line Reconstruction Work to . K Be Completed. ' (General Manager J. F. Lardner of tie Trj-city Railway company this - morning announced that beginning Hio first of next' month' the schedule on the Elm street line will be made fas- ' tier, andi one car will be taken off. Tho same time, a 15 minute schedule, is t.j 'be maintained with five cars instead of. six now used to handle the traffic. The difference in time will be madj entirely on the Moline end of the line, however, the schedule remaining as i is now in Rock Island between th Thirty-fifth street switch on Fou teenth avenue, and the west end te rii'inal at Fifth street. One passing point In Moline has been eliminated in the rebuilding of- the line, but Vl of the switches in Rock Island will re main as they, have been. i Work On the Hill. . - The reconstruction work, Mr. Lan: ner states, will be finished on the'Elm street line this winter. He states .that the construction department has been directed to reconstruct the Elm street line from Seventh to Fourteenth ave ; line on Thirtieth street, to compute the track work of the entire line, an ! ' has given assurance that this stretcii will be rebuilt before snow , flies. Tlu work in Moline is now practically fin i i9hed, and it is probable that the men ' will begin work at once on the Thi--tleth street hill. The construction de partment, however, is desirous of dis posing of certain odd bits of repair? in the downtown territory in Rock i ! land . before the- El hi fctivet work is' commenced, and it I possible that tie mucn neeaea rebuilding of the hill track will be delayed. Truffle Heavier. However, whether the hill track is rebuilt or not. the new schedule is to go into effect the, first Tf the month. ine proposed change Is' causing raucn comment among patrons of the line, and many of them predict-that the re Suits of the change will be unsatisfac tory from the passengers' point" of view. It is argued that the traffic wi'l be heavier when the line is. put in goo'l shape, and made more satisfactory by reason or the operation of the new type of cars, and that as a result ev i the new cars, though larger than the old ones, will be insufficient to accom modate the traffic, if one car is taken off. The operation of six cars, on a 10 or 12 minute basis, it is stated, woull prove a material benefit to the public while the proposed change will likely make the seryice no more satisfactory at -least in- Rock, Island, than it was be fore, and possibly- give even less ac commodation than before. ' From the standpoint of equipment the company is not much nearer meet ing the demands of the patrons on eith er the Elm street or Long View lin? now than it w'as a year ago. While new cars have been provided scarcely p day passes that one or more of the old rattletrap? does not-make its appear ance and it Is just as apt to catch the busy hours as the better type of cars. Some of .the old , cars that are running daily on both the Elm street and Long. . View line are so disgraceful in appearance insid? stfid out that the company ought to feel too much ashamed of them to send them out. but as long as there are any of them around the equipment depa-t-ment will : no doubt manage to keep them In view. If there Is one thin?, the equipment end of the Tri-eitv Railway company is emphatically op posed to it is uniformity.
