the citizen'. Ottawa, casada. friday. December ss. ioij Agreement dated June 28th.

1893. Rhull consist of three arbitrators, By-Law Number the faiea payable on Sundays shaa USE CmZEN WANT ADS. TEL Q. 5500 and Kastvlew should be the next to receive car service. Intensions into these districts will also serve both Beeehwood and Notre Dame Cemeteries and, while travel to cemeteries is more or less confined to Sundays and Holidays and that during summer months and would show little or no profit, it must be considered as a service which In some Is clue certain of those patrons who use other lines six days of the week.

ll is not intended that these two extensions should be built to the gates of the cemeteries, but by nerving the population in these districts the llnea will pass to within very short walking distances of the cemeteries. The line into Kastvlew Is of course outside the city limits and outaide the franchise power of the City of Ottawa, but Eastview is practically a suburb of Ottawa and has a population of nearly 6.0i0. It la believed that a double track extension from the corner of Charlotte and Rl-doau Straets over Cummings Bridge and east on Montreal Road to a point near the junction of Main Street and Montreal Boad, will be profitable investment for tho railway company, In fact it seems so evident that the company will desire to build this extension, that it has been included for the purpose of this study, in the second year of construction. The line to LIndenlea Is recommended as double trpek from the Junction of Beeehwood Avenue and Criehton Street northeast on Beeehwood Avenue to Springfield Road From this point, owing to the narrowness of tha streets, it Is recommended that single track be built Templeton Street, a alight angle 4 to its present line, from King Kdw.rd 1 Avenue to Nicholas Street. I track construction should be continued from Nicholas Street upon Templeton Street thence continued to Marl borough Avenue at whicn point cars should be turned on small loop.

Attention should be called to the grades In the Sandy Hill section. It was only after careful study that the route just outlined was determined upon as containing not only the easiest grades but also the only onc.a aafc for operation and still provide ft route which would properly serve this district. It Is a well known fact that street railway lines induce the building up of districts which they serve. Bearing this in mind It Is believed that during the fourth year of this program it will be found expedient lo extend the line in Ottawa Fast. While a half mile south on Main Street might reach the limit of the new settlement at this future date it is recommended that during th construction perir.d double track extension be built south on Main Stre-ct from Ckgg Street to a point near the Rideau River, then bearing slightly west continue until it reaches the edge of the present settlement and there building a small single track loop.

The 2.7S miles of extensions recommended and ten new cars would make the fourth yea construction cost approximately $209,440. Extension Dnrtng Fifth Year. There is now, and has been for aome time past, more or less agitation for removal and relocation of rail rand tracks In and about the city of Ottawa. Among these plana is one for a Une which would have a passenger stottrn. known as Ottawa South.

fn the South sid of the Rideau Rivfr near Bank Street Bridge. Such a station would certainly demand street car service t-o hA center of the town. Whether this change v. Ill be made bv the beginning of the fifth year of this program is considered Immaterial for become, say in 1927, about 75 miles or approximately '4 miles less than it would be If the average growth shown for 20 years prior to 1914 had continued to and including vm In order to keep from over-bur-denlnff the electric railway company in the matter of these extensions, they have been divided into flv groups; one group to be built each year. The problem of determining which extension shall be built first is more or less simplified if the needs of the greatest number ft patrons Is given greatest weight.

Extension DnrliiK First Year. The first extension to be built should be a double track on Launer avenue from Nicholas street to Elgin and the connection of the west bound track on Queen street with the north bound track on street. This construction will permit more nearly equal division of east and west traffic between Sparks and Queen streets and thus very materially reduce congestion In th center of the town. In order to build a double track on Laurier avenue aa mentioned, it will be neceasaiy for the city It consider Laurfer avenue between Kigln street und the approaeh. of the bridge over the canal, making the stret-t the samft width from curb to curb, as at present on the bridge.

This can best be done on the north side of the avenue, thus keeping the curbs in line with those on the bridge. This work will not necessitate the purchase of any property. Under conditions existing In 1923, It is possible to operate cars on Queen street, between Bank and ftlgin streets, east bound only, bo that Queen street carries only about of the normal service and i3J, of the rush-hour service while Spar Us street must handle all west-bound cars and is therefore very badly congested. The construction of the Laurier avenue extension and connection of west hound track on Queen street will permit Queen street to carry 44 of both normal and rush-hour service, effecting a very material relief to Sparks street. The second extension should be double track on Klgin street from Argyle avenue south, then east over the canal to Main street and south to CJt gg street with a single trucn loop riu Cleg? street, Glenora avenue and Herridsu street.

This extension will cure for some 3.000 people living in what is known us Ottawa East The third should be double track on Bronson avenue from Gladstone avenue south to Kindlay street and a single track loop on Findlay, Muriel and Center streets. To build this loo it will be necessary for the city to open Muriel street through from Center street to Ftndlny street. It is recommended that the present grade cronclng on Bronson avenue with the railroad tra-U8 be used until such time as the city decides to build a viaduct. The present tracks on Gladstone and Bell streets from Bronson Ave. to the end of the line at Poweil avenue should be removed.

The wooilen bridge over tbe railroad tracks will soon need rebuilding for as it exists today, it is inadequate for the purpose and of an expensive type of bridge to maintain. The present patrons of the Bell street line may be well served by the Bronson avenue line nnd especially so if the city cuts through lora stret from Bronson avenue to Bel I street und Dolly Varden from Bell to Bronson avenue. The opening of these streets is (uita necessary for the proper expansion of the city, regardless of street cor service. To complete the construction for the first year of the proposed program, a single track should be built on Cobourg street from tho cur house north to connect with the present track on Cobourg street nt Murray street. This short connection will materially increase the flexibility of the operation of the north -eastern portion of the system.

The construction recommended for tho first yenr is about 4.5 miles or a net addition of about 4 miles of track at an estimated cost of $174,330. The company has been operating 113 cars in the evening rush period during the summer months of li22. To continue operating the same number of ears during the winter of 1922-iy23, will allow only eight 'srs as reserve equipment a condition which will practically demnnd a curtailment of the present service, in ord'T to give proper service at the peak of travel, both now and after the construction proposed for the irt year, the company needs 15 additional cars, which will cost ap-proximntely $270,000. The company Is already handicapped by luck of enr house space and jfacilittes. To properly care for the cars lo be purchased under this program of extensions it will be necessary to build either a new house or a large addition to one of the present car houses, costing about The total cost of new trnck, cars and car house will be $544,380, Belief of congestion in the cen trul district by the construction of Inurier avenue extension will entail a slight re-routing of oars.

The same will be true, to a minor degree, In each of the following years of this program; more particularly with regard to extension of suburban lines. The inevitable confusion due to rerouting in a small tty where patrons are accustomed to a program of service unchanged for many years, may be materially lessened by use of illuminated signs on the front find sides of alt cars. New cars should be purchased equipped with these sinrns and steps taken to equip all old cars, particularly those to be used on lines which are being; In uny way changed as to route Kx tension nurlni? Year. At the present time Bank street, between Albert and Queen streets, has the greatest amount of street traffic of any street In the city. The proposed program alms to relieve ihls in the second year of construction, by building Gouble track on Queen street between Bank and I-yon streets and on street from Queen street to Gladstone avenue.

fnd operiitlnpr all Bronson avenue Klgin street cars on these r.fw tracks. Special work should te; be the same as those from time to time payable on week-days. 8. (a) The Company shall have and may exercise, during the term of this Agreement, and of the said Agreement of June 28th. 1893.

Proposed Track and Service listens-loon. At the close of the year of the Ottawa Electric Railway system 0f suiiihtlv more than 26 miles; this mileage may therefore be considered ss tiie length of the original electric railway. From 1894 to 1D13 inclusive, a period of twenty yearn, the net additions and extensions to the system amounted to a little more than 3t miles averaging one and one-half miles per year. Owing to the World War and since that time to the Imminent expiration of the franchise, he total extensions since l'Ji3 have amounted to only one mile. Hud normal conditions existed and extensions progressed at the rate of one and one-haif miles per year, the system fn litZ'i would have amounted to 70 miles Instead of approximately 58 miles us of today.

In other word the system is behind Us pant program of growth. While the growth of the system has been retarded the population of the city has continued to increase resulting In an inciease in revenue passengers per yar per mile of track frnni 423.300 In 1915 tn 656,700 in 121. The effect of this Increase is an unusual congestion of cars In the center of the city, especially on Sparks nnd Bnnk streets, during the rush hours. This congestion so delays the service on all lines as to materially ai-fect the travel of nearly all patrons of the system. Steps should be taken so that the aystrm may gradually ditch up on its normal program of growth, build' ing additions and extensions, over say a five yenr period, at a rate which will bring the system mil-Mi; to approximately what it would have been under normal and uninterrupted growth.

A study has been made of the city nnd its suburbs to determine the needs or extensions. This study indicates that there should ha built, during the nxt five approximately in miles of ti lines and that about one mile of (Tie present system should be abandoned and removed, making a net addition of 17 miles. The uyatem total would thus I A Bylaw to authorize the execution of An Agreement brtweeb the Corporation and the Ottawa Eleetrle Railway Company.

Patrick on Wednesday, January 2. at 11 o'clock a.m., a Ford Truck. The WM. A. OOLK on Beeehwood Avenue.

Butternut 'PAT-nA na Road, back to join the double track on Beeehwood Avenue. With this construction a very satisfactory service may be rendered by operating in one direction arnund this Linden-lea loop; the direction to be that Indicated by the order In Which th streets are named above, in other words. North on Butternut Terrace and South on Sprlnirfield Road. The i obstruction just outlined for the second year amount? to approximately miles p.nd would cost about $217,710. In addition to the trnck construction there will be needed about ten additional passenger ears one large double truck snow sweeper and a snow plow.

This rolling stock will cost aboiu $132,000. The increase In service car miles operated will also demand additional substation equipment, costing approximately $20,000. The total capital expenditures for this second year will be $263,710. Intension During tne Third Tear. The first two years of this con-it ruction program will relieve ihe congestion in the center of the city and place extensions into three districts having no service at the present tine; districts already well populated yet having room for large growth, will be greatly enhanced by the new llnea, A large municipal hop(1a1 now under construction just north of Carl ing Avenue and about 1C0O feet west of Fairmont Avenue.

Undoubtedly the City of Ottawa will build a continuation of Rusk in Street from Holland Avenua to Kairmont Avenue as this new street would be, about the same distance from the hospital ns Is Carting Avenue. This continuation of Kupktit street will ant only give another easy means of reaching the new hospital but will open new and desirable territory for the construction of new dwellings. Fairmont Avenue between Wellington Street and Bethany Uad i now well built up but aouth of Bethany Hood there are comparatively few houses, however, many new ones are under construction and the section 13 rapidly bu'lding t. It is recommended, as part of the Third Year construction, to double tiaek line from Wellington Ktreet south on Fairmont Avenue to and Mcross Carljng Avenue Into the property of the Experimental Farm: then west on the property of the Farm and connect with the present line whore It turns south toward the Farm builditms. The extension of Rnskin Street should be double tracked from Holland Avenue to Fairmont Avenue, with proper sprciiti work at the junction with Fairmont Avenue to permit cars from tho Experimental Farm to "wye" at tli is point.

At present Fairmont Avenue passes under the tracks of th Grand Trunk Railway; thU railway being carried over the avenue on a timber trestle. To make this subway usable for the street cars In fact properly serviceable for vehicular traffic the Grand Trunk Railway tracks should be carried across the avenue on a steel beam bridge. The present track on Holland Avenue from Ruskln Street, south and ncroys Carliag Avenue and east on the Experimental Farm property to the point where the line turns south, thou Id be removed. There Is still much doubt as to the possibility of removal or elevation of the railroad trneka croslsng Wellington street between Champagne and P.ree?e Hill Avenues, but it is thought possible that this may be decided before the commencement of the third year of construction on this program. Assuming this question to have been decided, it is recommended that double trak bo built on Wellington Street from Preston Street to Somerset Street.

Service on the extensions to be built during the third year will necessiate the purchase of seven new double truck passenger cars and one double truck snow sweeper. The cost these cars and the track construction a little less thnn four miles of track nnd a net. addition of 8 3 miles would be approximately $300,160. Ixtenfttons Durlntc the Fonrtk Yenr The district south of that commonly known as "Sandy Hill" is the next requiring additional service. A study of thrs section plainly Indicates that there will he little growth south of Templeton Street under present car service.

Also there is ample room for development north of Templeton Street. It is believed there will be some material growth before the ourt year of construct ion Is commenced end that will be a demand for increased service to this section: also that such service would be profitable and would hasten the development of the section. Therefore, it Is recommended, during the fourth year of construction, that a double track line be built south on Nicholas Street from Laurier Avenue to a point near the south corner of i what i.i known as the "Varsity Oval." This extreme southern corner tho iiay ground is not used n-' ui hi ot pmchnsea tor the com in AFTtR. TEN MINUTE INTENSIVE HORJC GETS THE FRONT PORCH CLCAR OF SNOW LESLIE CRUM DTJOPS OVER TO SEE HOW HE'S GETTING ON POSSIBILITY Of UP A LITTLE GAME TONIGHT IS DISCUSSED AT LENGTH it is believed that the increase In population and business along southern end of Bank Street and Immediately eeross the river, will warrant a double track extension on Bank Street from Grove Street, eouih nnd across the bridge over the Rideau River. This extension of about one mile and five new cars would co6t al'it The total cost of new construction, new cars, equipment; and car house on this five yenrs program Is estimated at $1,517,690.

Track extensions are shown for each year of this program upon a map which also shows the distribution of population of the city of Ot tawa and municipality of Eastview. Dennlty of Car Trnffle. Car flow diagrams have been prepared showing graphically the cara per hour in each direction on all streets in the central district of the city during present normal service and present rush hour service. There are also car flow diagrams showing both normal and rush-hour service after completion of the proposed program of construction. A comparison of these diagrams wPI clearly show that, even with a 17 increase In service through the central district after completion of the proposed con- struction.

there Is much less con-gestion than under the present method of operation. Op'eratln? Fpennc nnd Tnxen. The estimates of operating" expenses for each year of this proposed program of construction were based upon the actual experience of the company the greatest consideration being given to the total expenses and expenses per car mile for the year of 1921. However the employes of the company accepted reduction of 12 per cent, iu wage rates effective July 3. 1322, which reduction will decrease the operat-frttr expenses per car mile since that dote.

Fluctuations In labor rates ana costs of materials during the next five years will probably be slight, so 4 the costs per mllR for 1921, adjusted by the reduction in labor rates, have been used to estimate the oneratlnff expenses for each year of this pro-grnm. Taxes have been estimated upon the- 1022 basis of taxation mileage basis for track, valval ion for real and personal property and net tn- come for income tax. Opera tins: Beretine. The past history of the enrnpnny shows a steady increase in the riding? habit of the patrons of the company, until In 1921 it reached the point of 836 rides per capita per annum. Past history would of -course indicate a further steady Increase but It la believed that the peak has been reached.

Based upon the assumption of 330 rides per capita per annum and the Indicated normal growth of thercity. the passenger revenue has been allowing for the continuance of tiA "Limited" and "Sunday" reduced rate ticket. The IncrenBe In population and distribution of density of population is well lndbated by the four mapH showing graphically tha density of population for the years 1890, 1300, 1210 and 1320. About ten per cent of the revenue pasRengers used "Limited" or "Sunday" tickets, the abolition of which, tickets would effect ar Increase in revenue varying from $70,000 In the l'irst year to $80,000 in the fifth year.
