Taylor miss m. Matthews port mrs. A reporter of the free Picas called upon the manager of the Winnipeg 3ireet railway co. Yesterday in order to obtain More definite information concerning Tho proposal made to the City to introduce electricity generally. Or. Austin said he was tax Iowa to have the Public familiar with the company s requests As he had heard of several reports going round which did not do them Justice. A to Tho Speed the company will run he said it. Is intended not to run so fast in Tho Busy parts As in the suburbs. An electric car was More easily controlled than a oreo car As go at Tho rate of ten Miles an hour it could be stopped in its own length. We do not ask for right to Tho Eaid or. Austin Only on the streets we operate cars on nor will it be necessary to have All wires raised but Only such As will Obat Root by reason of their being too Low. The company intend laying new tracks on Mam Street with a handsome Polo Between the tracks which will be obtained at a considerable expense from new or. Austin said the greatest trouble they would Timve to contend with would be in Tho on the Kildonan the pavement being so Harrow most of Tho traffic if they paved would be on the tracks As at present. in from St. Andrew a and Selkirk like to take to the rails and so much mud is brought on it that it would be next to impossible to Geta proper return for Tho current through the Railo. Then the wearing out of the Road bed by horses and wagons would cause water holes which while the motors Are passing Over them May cause splashing. Then Burn outs follow in the hundreds of dollars of dam age in a second s time. Heavy snowdrifts where there Are no houses will cause unnecessary delay if they Are obliged to build in the contre of the roed. Thisu Are the com Pany s reasons for aukins to be allowed to go on she Side of the Street and elevate the rail a Little or if Tia is deemed not desirable let the City provide for the City s use not their e enough pavement for teams to Cross und they could Placo Tho rails in a More Cen trial position Aud till gravel in Between the of course the ties would be sunk with Ohe surface of the Only the rail would be n Little. Or. Austin claimed that there should be no objections rained to crossing the if any would Eft or they would by the panels of Tho Cata being rubbed. However All danger of collision could to avoided. They any Large rigs it would be a Bizay matter to reverse the current and run Back or they would not go on Tho Bridge when thru is Likely to be a Block. Surely when the 0. P. R. Giro allowed to Cross the Louise Bridge or. Austin contended they can Croas the other Bridges with a greater degree of safety. An electric car can slip our a Bridge easier than a hone car especially if the horse trots. Or. Austin continued the company want to avoid transfers Samuch impossible and when their electric Rand in Complete will run cars through a the c. P. R. Station. It is Likely the per Muije Avenue cars will run through from the St Tiou via Osborne St. Bridge River ave and return by Mam Street a the River Avenue cars from the station via River Avenue and Portage Avenue to Sta Tion notre Dame Street from the of Portage Avenue and Mam to Breed via Nona and logic streets and vice versa. The company expect the largest crowds to the Parks during the summer Tuno. They will that line via Portage River Avenue. Faster and longer electric cars with trailers will run from Tho Corner of River Avenue and. Gaborno Street to the Tiarks. taking the car a Kildonan can go to Osborne Street for a 4a ticket fare and a of Nilar fare to the Parks or about in per mile. 1 in asking for the privilege to carry freight or. Austin says it is not the intention of Thi company to go into this business gone rally or to run a freight Liue of earn but to take such i Large Parce la refreshments to picnics better to be in a position should Settle Orient warrant it to run out to the municipal til s surrounding and bring in the Farmers at passengers with Light vegetables butter eggs Etc., on tar kit Days. Such a system or Austin Bays would do More for the City than Many can i Maelynn. Think of Farmers from so. Andrews head singly or so. Norbert being Ablo to Como to Tho City in nay thirty minutes time. Or. Austin produced Copija of the St John s and Ottawa Street railway Charters St. John s gave to electric company 40 years of a franchise without asking any remu Uera Tion to the City. St. Paul Aud Minneapolis for changing to electricity got and no remuneration to the City. In most of to largest cities of the states the Street railway companies have continuous Charters some paying u Small percentage. A new charter Juet granted to the Ottawa str Pec railway gives them exemption from taxes for 20. Years they paying the City to much per mile Tho same Way the Winnipeg Street railway pro to do for an extrusion of time and there they have water Pawer and it is estimated that it will take about i Quarter of a million to Complete the City Anc Che Winnipeg Streub railway company i certainly entitled to some consideration a the hands of the Autti Grilies. It a claim ii that they have acted in a straightforward manner and have for these _ privilege offering at the same time substantial rerun Era Iota to the City.
