INTERL1RBAN IS READY TO OPERATE INTO GASTONIA The first-cars on the' interurban to 1 be run into the Gastonia station were scheduled to pass under the-Southern tracks this afternoon and on to the station. The new link is practically complete. For several months the line has . run to ; within a mile of the sta- tion, but on account of . a great deal Of. work to be dpne so as to. secure a Dassage ; under the tracks of the Southern, the completion was delayed The handsome new ; overhead bridge was to have been flnf ehkd Saturd4y, but , the rains of rThursday night de layed the work. ; The new schedule will not go into effect until tomorrow or Wednesday morning. ' That ' will give the motormen plenty of time 'to familiarize themselves with the line, so as to be able to handle the heavy traffic on the Fourth with dispatch and. accuracy. I The finishing of the Kne ino the town will doubtless add a great deal of travel over the road, for the people who r:uti6 from Gastc-nia have been forced" to. go out to the"! ne in hacks or 'other ways, and it said that numbers' of people who would have come via the Interurban have waited for ' the .train, . rather than make the connecting trip. With the station ac cessible to the center of the town the people will have no trouble In getting to the cars. The cars will operate on the same schedule. The baseball car .will rrove a con venience to the" fans who come over to the games. The car will leave here at 7:45 thereby giving the travelers an opport:nit3' to see till of the game a.rid then get home .w hou t waiting until later cars of the tegular time. The ne - time table arranges it so that the car? will meet all Incoming and outgoing trains ofythe C. &.:"N. W. and the ' Southern in the Nation at Gas tonia. '"he traveling public who come up from all points on thv C. & N. W. run cat rtfT the train nnfl 'rjeht onto one of th Charlotte-bound inlerurbaif cars. This new arrangement win prove of great time saving &iue and an avoidance of the long wait in the station there. SPECIAL LICENSE TAXES BEING PAID INTO CITY COFFERS Through City Tax Collector. J. M.
