Work Begins on Car Barns as City Shoots Trolley Poles

Contractor McCarty of this city started work on the car barns for the new company yesterday. A long line of trolley poles appears across the river. Real estate sales include Heho Point house and lot to Mrs. Wilhelmina Ritter for 2500 and 149 Fifteenth Street to John L. Glasey for 2650, plus lots in McMechen for 425 and 175 to Orloff L. Zane. Circuit Court grants limited guardianship and estate payments, and Train No. 6 changes route due to a tunnel collapse east of Akron causing delays to Pittsburgh. The Riverview Sunday school thanks Electric Railway and Bridge companies for free transport to the grounds. Narratives question a mythical railway deal with denials from Ohio-side interests and cautious skepticism from Wheeling residents.
