ITOi Commerce Directors Vote for Holding Double Tnick on Elm Unanimously Against the Wickea Proposal to Eliminate One Track ()n South Elm and They Favor Double Track Extension to ; O. Henry Good Report On Membership Campaign. Director of the Greesboro chamber 1 of commerce last night unanimously voted against the propoaal of J. L Wickea, Baltimore traffic expert, that one street car track was sufficient to handle 8outh Kim street traffic, and they capped that opinion with the further one that the present double track on Elm street should be extend ed on North Elm as far as the O Henry hotel. '." The double action was taken, after an hour's discussion. In a resolution presented by Charles H. Ireland that "It Is the sense of this meeting- that the elimination of one track on South Kim would b a mistake, and further, this' meeting- recommends that the present double' track be extended to the O. Henry hotel." ' The" actuating- motives behind the resolution, as stated by E. B. Jeffress, wer that the prime need of the street car system wafc relief from conges tion and th consequent maintenance if schedules, that schedules depended upon the-ability to move cars, that Oars could not be moved so easily on one traok as on two, and that the ex tension of the double track on North Elm to the O. Henry hotel would help relieve the congestion at the oorner of Elm and Market. - - r II-1 1 . la B tvafffrt aft. ainees connected with th Maryland Public Service commission, was brought tp Greensboro two weeks ago to make recommendations about local traffic conditions.'

It denetided on two un certainties, the building of the pro. posed new station with a large under pass, and extension of street car tracks from Elm through Depot street . to Greene and on Greene to Market, which extension, Mr, Hole said, was out of the question until Greene had. de veloped to a more Important street In addltloa, C. H. Ireland, A. B. Joy ner, W. T. Preyer, Frank T. Miller, E. B. Jeffress, C. H. McKntght, H. B. Bush, and W. D, Meyer spoke against the elimination of one track. Mr. Wlckes" proposal for the elim ination of one track on South Elm was coupled with vi suggestion that Po mona cars stop at the oorner of Mar ket and Elm, that Glenwood cars stop north- of the- railroad,, and that the street car line be extended from Elm through Depot street to Greene . and from thence on Greene to Market. This suggestion also was denounced by a number of the directors although no formal action was taken on It ex cept in so far as It is conneoted with the one-track proposal. The statement, bf C. B;,Hole, repre senting the. -point of view of the Pub. lio Service company, after assuring the city officials and the chamber of commerce of the denlre to co-operate In every way possible and after stat ing that the Wlokes' proposals had not been thoroughly examined by the operating department, read In part as follows: "One of the most Interesting and possibly the most Important prob lem suggested by this traffic report Is the question of the eliminating one of the street railway tracks on Elm street between the square and the Southern railway. "This problem has been discussed at various times during the last several years, unfortunately, the permanent solution offered ,by Colonel Wickea Is dependent upon at least two uncertain ties. The first is the building of the proposed new depot by the Southern railway with an underpass of auffl clent length and width to take care of double street railway tracks to do the work that those now located on Elm street are- doing. If this con dltlon la brought about, It would seem feasible to eliminate tht present double tracks on Elm street "The second uncertainty, or I might say certainty, Is ths extending of the present street railway system through Depot place to Greene street to West WE ARB HINE'S SHOES i . ..

The capital expenditure that such a plan would necessitate Is out the auestlon until such time as business may develop on Greene street to justify such a step. That the busi ness, la not at present developed on Greene street la self-evident. The temnorarr solution suggesiea by Col. Wlokes, If we understand him correctly, seems to us to put an un fair burden upon the street ear pa trons. He suggests that the Pomona line terminate at Market and Kim streets, and that the Glenwood line terminate Immediately north of the South Elm-Southern railway crossing, thus making necessary extra trans fers to all patrons In the Glenwood seotloa desiring to reach West Market or Pomona seotlons. or the reverse. "This burden could be Justified only if the patrons could be guaranteed by the city authorities that It was only a--temDorary condition. From the fi nancial standpoint of the Public Ser vice ' company this schedule, we are oonvlnced, would be disastrous, even onlv a temnorarv condition. The mportance of this financial phase it the situation under consideration will be better realised when you know that this department oft the Punblic service eompany Is showing a contin ual decrease. At the preaent time reaohiag almost II per cent as com pared with the same time last year. "It may be possible to make some other adjustment of our present sched ule to bring about ths desired result without the evident hardship. Ws are more than willing to Investigate every possible combination In our street rail way schedules if It is finally desclded by the municipal authorities that they prefer to have 'one track grown where two grew before.'" - , Mr Hole said later that one great trouble with the street oar trafflo was the congestion at the oorner of Elm and Market, whloh was caused by the station crossings "Cars ars blocked by the railroad and have to be held up at the square to nt In with the schedules," he said. He thought a double track extenelon to the O. Henry would help relieve the situation. .So did E. 'B. Jeffress,' "The main trouble with the street cars Is not keeping up with schedules," he said. "The southern railway had the same trouble until It put in double tracks. uouale tracks for the street cars would help keep the cars moving, would, cut out traffic blocks, would relieve the congestion at the square. Two tracks do not block traffic ex cep when cars are oh them and with cars moving there will be little eon. gestlon. One track means never keep ing up with schedules." Mr. Jeffress thought the entire re port lacked' vision except In the sug gestion for two, tracks at the propos ed railway underpass. "So far as re tall stores on Elm street are con. cerned," he said, "what they want and need is some control over the space in front of the stores." On the Wlckes' proposal to ellm Inate mid-block stops on South Elm the directors were not so Unanimous. Mr. Ireland wanted to retain them and so did W. D. Meyer. J. E. Latham saw no need of them, but he liked the double track station underpass. Frank T, Miller thought there ought to be a one way street at Depot, where, he said, many acoldems have occurred. The directors heard good reports of the membership campaign. A total of 175 new memberships' have been ob tained and a renewed campaign with teams covering districts win start to, day. H. K.
