People Walt Patiently.
in speaking of tho street car track
paving v/fiich started Saturday on
South-Main strcoVimtween Church and
River streets, Mr.'Ul. A. Orr,- man
ager of thc Southern Public Utilities
company In trna''city,, has the follow
ing to say: t.
"Yes, tho. putting down of thlB pav
ing ts going to QO,'""> a great deal bf
inoeuvonienctt lo ifep^pybtyc ?QT> ?w^Ue,
but it is hoped y^itb.ey 7{"}. bcar
with us patiently until the work Ia
completed. ' r 1 '"'*." '" -'.
"The work will ?tart on South Main
street and the first stretch pavej will
be between Church..and River streets.
It ls going to take several days to do
this and lu thc m??tttlme the passeng
ers on tho cars at'this end of' the* line
will have to trans?a*/from one car to
another. Some people will say that
the. work.is going oh very slowly but
they must realise that this job must
be done with care, and thc best ma
terial .possible must be use.: for it to
be .a success and stand the btraln of
30.000 ' pound cars running over it.
After' tho work is' finished on thi.
block, lt will hare>to, stand for two
weeks' before the car's can run over
th?-tracks,' in order that-it may oe
perfectly ?dry and settled. . lt. will be
the sim? way with.- ail of-tu'c other
sections that are paved.
. -'Kio addition to this paving, 70 pound
rails, are to be used, replacing the
lighter rails now down. These rails
are the same as those used- on the
Piedmont ft Northern, lines, and are
sufficiently large enough to Accommo
date the heaviest traffic.
"The Southern Public Utilities com
pany ls doing thlsj &o,rk ;ftt-Anderson
but the business dopa npfc^ifrrjyu. lt.
It will take many*?fc|is ipr,'.tho com
pany to get' tbJ?HMttIi back. An

than 'Charlotte, tareen ville, ' Winston

we are willing and.;, rca-iy ,to - help
mhke'this 'city one flt the most, pro
gressive In the south.
"We 'hope that the "riding public"
w411 ndderfetand that, lt is'Impossible
for us to put down another parallel
track to accommodate them -becauKi
ttie streets arc to narrow.. As it ls,
tho work will take n? a great part or
the streets and there .is no way that
we can run another car to accommo
date the passengers. In some cities
where cars run on parallel- streets,
companies have' MftsnptflP tai., reroute
cars around the streets torn" up, but
such, ts not possible In Anderson. It
J*W fee. trying for them to have to
walk three or four blocks during the
hot weather, but there la no-alterna

modate, them. ?y
"The company is etalna the very best
obtainable material inv0e?g this work
and Intends to go slow ami have ii
done properly. Tho very beet stone
and sand have been bought and th?
miliare will be put down in the pro
per way.
When asked about the number ol
hands that would be employed Mr.
Orr stated that he did not know Inst
how many would be used but that the)
wonld need more thai&bad beten work
