The Smoking Nuisance Upon Street
Cars.

Editor Star:-Although it is generally under
stood that smoking is not allowed in the street
cars, it is commonly the case that one or two
smokers upon the platform will faint the whole
air Of the car as completely as if they were in
side; and frequently one will take his seat in
side with his cigar In his mouth, just keeping
1t alight. and giving off. If possible, more Of
fensive odor than when fully smoked. To
very large proportion OF people this is an in
tolerable nuisance, and yet 1t appears that the
Washington & Georgetown company expressly
authorize their conductors not to interfere
with either of these practices. Yesterday, get
ting on car OF the lth-Street line, tired with
the days business and. suffering from the I'M
seasonable heat, my discomfort was more than
doubled by fellow who fouled the whole air
OF the car, to the end Of the route, near which
he finally took his seat in the car with his cigar
in his mouth. Twice requested the conductor to
put stop to 1t, but he Informed me his inStruc-
tons would not warrant him in doing SO. This
conductor is known to ME to be a conSderate
and correct man, as are all the other conduc-
tors OF the line who are known to me; and it
seems that the company is directly responsible
for the insufferable nuisance here complained
of.
