Record-Breaking Day on Sunday—Many Visit Park
The Laurel Park Street Railway company operated its cars
Sunday for the first time during the season and as a result there were in
excess of 1,400 fares collected. This was a record-breaking day as regards the first day’s operations or
any day’s business in the month of May. A 40-minute schedule will be maintained
and although the company owns two cars and two trailers, it is likely that
another car will be purchased in order to accommodate the large number of
visitors to the park this summer. There was some bathing Sunday in the park,
despite the fact that the mountain water was cool and quite bracing.
