Tbfcs eondrtioc, tUo*e people aver, la kwd now that Ocean CMy ie so well known. Tbe thing* tike this that "weal" ten or flfteeu years ago should he avoided In these days: W Kb the tracks of this road rotaad s few feel, the bed would cot be reached on ordinary tugb Odas and the "bed ootee" of washed -oat tracks and interrupted traffic would be done sway with for the future White tbe expense of raising the tracks might be conatdarahk, this bhoeid be a emeh matter te a big corporation. and money would be saved. Take, for instance, Friday night. when all Is considered at least $200 were spent In making reand tbe Ude Saturday morning soon made this work as nothing. The railroad for three day* wot tied up more or less by reason of washed out track* between Nineteenth and Forty fount street*, ceasing trouble the company and ennoyenoe sod discomfort for the patron*.
