Among the Missing Proposed to Build Spur Across Central-ave. on Street Level. Recommending that a railroad grade crossing be established In the down* town business section, the streets com mittee of council Friday afternoon agreed to favorably report a petition of property owners and tenants In the block bounded by Central-aVe. and Pryor, Hunter and Alabama-sts., for the extension of a warehouse track by the Louisville aqd Nashville railroad across Central-ave., thru Kennys al ley to Pryor-st. This petition did not come from the railroad, and one of the petitioners states the road has not agreed to build the track, but has Inti mated it would be constructed if per mission was scoured from the city to cross Central-ave. The committee’s 1 report will go to council Monday after- j noon for action. ; Reuben Arnold, ns the representative, of those .Interested in building via-; ducts over tips railroad crossings at; Central-ave.

On Juno 10 the sloop was taken out for an aftarnoon orulta with fiva persona aboard and sines that time nothing hat been seen nor heard of it. It is feared that as a result of. th« Storm which raged shortly after the y started that all have been loot. t'K't the mcmbere..of the streets com mittee havo consented to a re-refer ence. c* Kennys‘alley Is n private driveway about twenty fee* wide, extending from ntral-ave. to Pryor-st. Stores fac ing the south side of Alabama-st. abut this alley In the rear. Directly oppo site the Cehtral-ave. end of the alley , Is a warehouse track at the Louisville and Nashville freight house. It Is now three feet higher than the level of Cen- tral-ave. It Is proposed by the peti tioners to have the Louisville and Nashville drop this track In Its yards to the street level and make a grade crossing over Central-ave, The peti tioners say this track thru Kennys al ley will enhance the value of property In the block for use as jobbing and warehouse purposes, giving merchants hack door shipping facilities, which those on the north side of Alabama-st. have as the result of tracks In the un ion depot yards. Carroll Payne, whq owns two stores »t Alahnma-st. and Central-ave., ap peared before the committee as spokes man for the petitioners. The objection to the project Is that the establishment of a grade crossing at this point will begin a precedent of Permitting railroad tracks In the busi ness district outside the established railroad yarda. At present there are only two downtown grade crossings— those at either end of the union depot In Pryor-st, and Central-ave. But re cently there has been talk of bridging each of these and engineers have pre pared plans for such projects. Fur thermore, the proposed plaza or civic tenter, over the railroad yards, contem plates abolishing these two grade cross ings. The proposed grade crossing in necessary trf begin the elevation at a point 300 to 260 feet south, or just nbnut where this new track would cross. To put the new track below grade would mean to continue the ap proach below Hunter-st.. carrying the viaduct a block further south and add ing, say, 50. per cent to Its coat. Here Is another phase of establishing a new grade crossing. Central-are. la's heavily traveled street at this point. All teaming to and from the L. A N. warehouse for the north half of the city must cross where It la proposed to lay this track. Heavy hauling thru Cen tral-ave. from the north to the south sides must pass this point. Three car lines now use the loop track around this block, notably the South Decatur and East Lake lines. These street cars would have to pass over the grade track. There would be a danger of freight cars getting loose In the LIN. yards and rolling down the sloping track to the grade crossing. Also, cars would be switched back and forth across the street to and from the ware houses abutting the alley. Drouth Broken.

The Evening Newspaper A canvass of 135 department stores in cities of more than 75,000 population elicited from 102 the unequivocal opinion that the evening newspaper is a better advertising medium than the newspaper published in the morning. The reason is plain to see. N Six days of every week the morning paper is read by people on their way to their offices, and either left in the street car or tossed to one side in the office. The evening paper is .carried home. The family reads it. Its con tents are* likely to be the subject of dinner- table discussion. When her day’s household labor is ended, the wife sits down with the evening paper to read the news and search the advertisements for bargains. The morning paper is a soft of casual caller. The evening paper is a visitor, a friend, coun selor and companion. Its influence is far stronger with its readers than the influence of the hastily-scanned morning paper. That is why it produces so much better results for the advertiser.
