will reach about $"i,000. The workmen were

wing.

The controveray between Building In

STREET CARS TO FOREST LAWN
Company Will Ilnlld Stab I. 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. There Is to be an unusual ceremony at
the cemetery this year, for the monument
which has been obtained by the Women's
Union Veterans' Monument association will
be unveiled. The street cars will not be
running to the cemetery at that early date,
and carriages will bo provided to meet the
cars where they pass the cemetery road.
The foundation for the monument has been
laid.
