No Trolley Service on Proposed Walnut St. Viaduct Is Report Trolley service between the western half of the city and Allison Hill via the proposed Walnut street bridge across the Pennsy tracks is not con templated by the association of Hill citizens, who boosted the passage of the $300,000 bridge loan, according to William A. Mcllhenny, one of the offi cers. According to reports from Pen brook, borough officials and citizens believe that the construction of the bridge might mean better car service but Mr. Mcllhenny said to-day that tracks across the structure had not been considered. Proper service he thinks will be provided by way of Market street beyond Reservoir park. Nothing will be done so far as the Hill association is concerned, he added, un til the new Council re-organized when the commissioners will likely be asked to pass an ordinance authorizing the preparation of plans and specifica tions. The whole problem which will in clude the laying out of the Capitol i park extension zone, will be discussed it is understood at a joint meeting j within a week or ten days of the City- Planning Commission, the Board of Public Grounds and Buildings, and Warren H.

D. C., Nov. 4.—lf the elections In States and concessional districts show anything of a national aspect. It is that the trend is back to the Republican party and that the strength of President Wilson is largely imaginary. Another significant thing reflected in the returns is that the large German 1 vote went almost in a body to the Re publicans. The best evidence of this is seen in Maryland, where there is a good-sized German population. There, with the Democrats holding a lead of 40,000 In the registration over the Re publicans, the result on the governor ship was close.
