Show EXTENSION OF THE CAR SYSTEM DELAYED BY NECESSITY FOR SIXTY-POUND RAILS. City Has Paving Jurisdiction on Wall Avenue, Which Forces Street Car People to Use Paving Ralls. Work on the Wall avenue extension of the street car sjstera ha3 been delated de-lated a?aln through the discovery that the city has paving jurisdiction on that street fn.m Twenty-fifth to Twenty-sixth Twenty-sixth streets and that it will be therefore there-fore necessary to lay the regulation sixty-pound paving rail. This 13 a "T"-shaped rail, six inches high, made especially to meet the requirements of paved districts inasmuch as it allows the cross tlc-s of the track to be sunk low enough to admit the laying of paving pav-ing material of regulation thickness. It was not known by the officers of the Ogden Rapid Transit company that the city bad ever acquired jurisdiction juris-diction upon this block and there was, therefore, no order made for the necessary neces-sary ralh. The same will have to be ordered from Ohio, hlch will consume some time. Other rails will be used temporarily, however, and the construction con-struction will not be delayed to any great extent. |
