We are very desirous of making the change spoken of and of convert ing the Seacoast railroad into a trolley line, and it is our intention to do so if the report of the experts is favorable and the cost is not too heavy .The city can lose nothing by the passage of the ordinance, while it may be of great personal advantage and benefit to the citizens at large. .. v It will be easy to secure tne cirr m this matter and to prevent any abuse of the , privileges granted - by provi ding in the ordinance that It shall be void and repealed unless this company commences work upon its road within six months.
