To the Editor ef The Chicago 741bttne:
SIR: I renow my suggestion, made several
weeks since, that line Of buses or through
cars between Union and Lincoln Parks would bo
great public accommodation. Since the exteu-
sion Of the Clark-Btreet car-track, it would bo
very easy to put in switches ut the corner Of
Clark and Madison streets, and introduce
through cars. Thia would bring the three di-
visions OF the city into immediate connection.
A person in any ono division could 70 to citber
Of tho other divisions without change of cara
Tho through.car RyH tenn iB much better than tue
tsnnsfor-ttclet system adopted in Washing
ton and other cities. Now that 30 many
churches have roopenod Oh the North
Side, 1t would be great convenience for
thoso on the South and West Sides who tfosire to
attend, could they go through without change Of
car or Lus. Let the companies put on Sunday
morning line. Tho North. South, and West Di-
Visions must sooner or later be III direct COM
municatlon, as lave suggested, and the sooner
tho better for the grand public.
ln Boston, tho car-companieB post up In each
car winter regulation, forbidding q Conductor
to open tho trout door Of his car to collect tho
fare. Ho must either take the faro through an
aperture IN tho door, or go round to the front
Platform. This rule keeps the car moro COM
Portable in severe weather by preventing that
rush Of cold air which il the prolific cnilse Of
colds to those who do much Btreet-clr travel.
II the public cannot demand that cars be heated,
they ut least insist that tho Conductors shall
refrain from converting them into ico-houses.

thom form Mutual Insurance Union, to insure
the goods in store Of each member from loss by
