In In the Hill Dnrlna Sammer. There Is more hope for a stub line to Forest Lawn cemetery than In any former year. The street railway company has had men out on the road this week making surveys for tne purpose of finding out the grade that will be necessary to enter the cemetery. The work has been done out the Brlggs street road, which reaches the cemetery at the main entrance. The peo ple of Florence are making a strong effort to get the extension made from the end of the present track through the town. This would be a good thing for the Florence people and would not make the cemetery ride longer, but there Is a heavy grado In the way, which makes It Improbable that the line will ever be extended In that direc tion.
