In. your avenue Squibs," In this mornings
paper, you refer to the nefarious "bobtail car
system Of this city. In the city OF Chicago such
nuisance was operated for two or three years on
State street and wabash aud Indiana avenues,
until continued assault and outreges on unpro-
tected female passengers and children occurring
In them, the citizens formed mittee COM
posed Of some of the most respectable merchants
OF the city, aud first prosecuted the company for
cruelty TO animals In which they were successful;
hS 10 pe GS
first tho drivers stopped their cars aud came in 70
collect fare, the committee successfully prose-
cuted such and the company for obstructlng
highways. The custom of failure to pay fares be-
came general. The company at last brought suit
against the best known who had ridden again and
again without paying, but the courts held thatthe
bobtail system was Illegal; that the driver could
not collect fare, and that the company was
bound to keep Its cars In charge Of Il competent
conductor to collect fare, to give change to prop
erly admit and let off passengers, to afford safety
and comfort to the passengers, and the bobtails
There seems to be total lack Of public spirit
In this city. The commissioners maintain cor
porete imgosition against public right and con.
venience The people have no redress, save TO take
the law into their own hands. The Society for
Prevention Of Cruelty to Animals seems as obtuse
peatcd hour after hour on the Fourteenth street
bobtail nuisance and thirty or forty passengers
are crowded into single car. Why don't we DO
away with horses on the broad streets? Why
can't this city be given modern convenienoes
IN the way Of transportation and light. Smaller
Clies, even in the south, well lit by electricity.
Crime breeding" darkness runs riot here, when
the city of Savannah, Ca, is as light us day by
means of thirty electric towers. The city of
Grand Rapids, also the cities Of Chicago and New
Orleans, give speedy steam transportation by
cable and dummy cars three miles in eighteen
minutes Why should the capital city remain in
obscurity? Why should 1t continue to be ruled
by commissioners who are blind TO our needs
Give us the franchise TO do away with nuisances,
and to follow the ways and customs prevailing in
