10 the Eultor OF tue EAcLk
Your article in yesterdays paper under
the head of RECKLESS driving" is think,
rather throwing the blame on innocent par
ties. The facts are the hackmen are accom-
modating equal to any other class that drive
the street and have great many things to
contend with daily, that is inclined TO try
any ones patience. Another thing, hack
men are often required to drive fast either to
accommodate or for the money thst is in it, or
both, whereas many parties who drive much
faster do it only to see how fast their horses
can 60 or for the pleasure Of riding fast. It
is also noticeable that the hackmen stop in
the street, pull out to one side and never if
possible block the street or stand their We
hicle crossing the street 1t also comes un-
der our observation every day that footmen
who only get in hurrah once year, get so
just as We are wanting to pass crossing in
the street to make train, or keep some en-
gagement. U nder circumstances like this even
the average footman thinks all horse is for
is to stop that load at once, which usually is
ton or often much more. l speak from
experience and can truthfully say that Their g
are parties who buggy ride for pleasure in
the city, who use much less courtesy than
the hackmen. Hackmen are supposed
Qike some spans Of horses to stand grea,
deal of grief but would suggest that you
give it to us little light until you are well
onto the racket. HACKMAN.

EXT ENDING THE STREET RAILWAY.

Maior Powell and o. Martinson were
over in the Fifth ward yesterday looking
out the route for track for the street rail-
road to the fair grounds. They
were also talking to the citizens in refer
ence to their views on placing track on the
bridge and found but little opposition to it,
temporary occupation for the convenience
of the public at the coming fair. Mr.. Powell
said that provided the county commits
sioners granted permission the work would
be done in thirty days. To that end petit
ton will be circulated, and, as large num-
be: of citizens have expressed views favora-
bic to the proposition, it is almost certain
that the permission will be obtained. There
is no valid objection il the rails are laid in
two tracks on each side of the thickness gen.
orally used, as the bridge has considerable
bredth.
II will unite the city with the
Fifth ward to the great convenience
of the public. 1t will make the fair grounds
accessible to the citizens during tie session
Of the fair.
That there should be no mistake about the
matter, it is only asked that the present
crossing be used six months or until the
company is able TO build an addition on
which the cars can cross. This branch will
be the same system Of street railroads
throughout the city, thus connecting all
portions of Wichita.
