NORTH SIDERS LOSE FIGHT ON TRACKLESS CAR

Council Approves Extension From 16th to 22d Sts. | On Pennsylvania. |

Trackless trolleys soon will, run| on Pennsylvania St. from 16th to 22d Sts. A group of Pennsylvania St. resi- | dents lost their fight to prevent the City Council from approving the Indianapolis Railways’ request to change the route from Talbot St.| to Pennsylvania. ! By a vote of 5 to 3, the Council last night approved this route: North on Pennsylvania from 16th | to 22d Sts.; east on 22d to Talbot; south on Talbot to 16th St, and east on 18th to Pennsylvania, continuing the present southbound route to town. The new route eliminates all but one left-hand turn for the trackless trolleys, the objective of the Railways Co. and the Works Board. Democrats Joseph G. Wood, Albert O. Deluse and F. B. Ransom voted against the change which was carried by Republicans Harmon A Campbell, Walter E. Hemphill and Ralph Moore and Democrats Ollie
