NEW TRACK AND NEW CARS Superintendent Joseph Bailey of the Rapid Transit company states that the track laying on the lnterurban road to Brigham City la progressing nicely, a half mile of rail being laid each day. The company has a good supply of rails and ties on hand and It Is thought that there will lie no further 'delay in the work. The graders are within a few miles of Brlgham City, the grade having been completed from the Utah Hot Springs to that point. The track laying crew is at work today at a point within about three miles of Wlllard and there is nothing In tho way of the workers. As soon as the rails are laid for a certain distance, dis-tance, the crew then goes over the road and places the rails at gTade. After this Is all done It will require considerable work In ballasting the road. The placing of the trolley wires on the telephone poles along tlie road will be undertaken as ?oon as the track-making Is far enough advanced to demand tho Immediate operation of the cars over the line. Mr. Bailey says the company has two new cars on hand today to be placed on the system In the city and In tho canyon. The cars are modern In every respect and larger than any that have been put into use on the road up to this time Each car has a seating capacity of IS persons and is propelled by four 40 horsepower moUirs. The cost of the two cars will be about 512,000.
