CHEAP TRANSPORTATION.
CHEAPER SUBURBAN TRAVEL GREAT POPULAR
NEED.
Tic adYisabllity OF putting cheap trains morn
ing and evening Oh the railroads connecting
Chicago and i:s suburbs, has been advocated by
The CHICAGO TRIBUNE in season and out of sea
ron for years. We have called the attention Of
the people Of this city to the fact that they are
treated By the railroads IS it Chicago
were mere war-station GU the
route between New York and San Francisco.
Tho subject is ono Of peculiar importance to
the people OF this locality, and is now being
Asitated by the other papers, The necessity OF
cheaper transportation for our committing
suburban population becomes more pressing as
city taxation. and the greater economies OF sub
urban life attract m increasing number OF IN
habitan:s to the suburbs. The people seem
fully alive to the importance Of it. The Stun
blioc block 1s the inc1edulty OF the railroads as
to tho rroitability Of cheap trains. They
have proved highly remunerative in HAS
sacbueetts The roads owe it to themselves and
the public to maze experiments in this direction.
The ua,row-gusge railroad is q means Of cheap
cnng transportation that deserves trial, and
tue1e arc districts in tlis vicinity which would
support such an enterprise handsomely. This
is the case, for instance in the southwest OF the
city, Local capital could find no better invest
1nept than this, and it would receive liberal
assistance from real-estate oHners and residents

coy and bashful maiden found themselves
