OyercrOxvded Street Cars.

To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR:
/ have noticed with some degree OF satisfaction
tho discussion OF insufficient accommodations by
the street railroads, and feel that the proper
agitation Of subject is often necessary to secure
needed reforms. While sympathizng with the
travelling public, and as one OF them, l still
acknowledge that the railroad companies have
rights which should be respected, and think that
unjust and unreasonable demands should not Ue
made on one side any more than on the other. l
think those who ride thereby accept the conditions
and ], lor one, will comply with them whenever
avail my self OF the accommodations, however IN
sufficient. The real grievance against the rail-
ways, in my opinion IS not the want or con tuctOrS
nor OF twO-hOrse cars, and such an equipment,
though desirable, may not remedy the existing
evil II l am obliged to stand when riding II af-
fOrdS but little satisfaction to know that am
drawn by two horses, and that a conductor must
push his way through crowd 10 collect my fare.
The overcrowding OF on all or nearly all lines
at certain times or the day is the great objection
against the street railways of Washington; thus
persons are compelled to walk when they wish TO
ride, wait the street for possibility OF rid
ing, and to stand while riding. Let sufficient cars
be furnished, and at such intervals that all who
wish to ride may have the privilege OF seat Ia
comfortable car, and the pubic generally will be
satisfied Sufficient accommodation should be the
first requirement. II.
