to Be Reported.

The Indignation expressed in the protest
against the service on the City and Subur-
ban railway. in yesterdays MORNING News,
is not expected 10 end in a mere published
protest, but that the grievances complained
of will be brought to the attention Of the
railroad commission, as the patrons Of the
road have. after legal advice. concluded
that this is the best way 70 enforce the
proper accommodations.
One OF the gentlemen who signed the
protest said 70 a MORNING NEWS reporter
yesterday: "We are informed by eminent
counsel that the railroad commission will,
when the things complained OF are brought
to their attention, compel proper service.
The gentleman went on TO say that those
who travel by the line are compelled to loss
four hours daily in coming and going an
aggregate distance of only twenty-four
miles. When complaint was made Of
putting whites and blacks in the same car
two coaches were put on for the colored
travel and only one for the whites. crowding

TO ladies
Alderman Faligant, who opposed con-
sidering separately the applications OF the
street railways for the right to put up the
trolley system Of overhead electric wires,
that the City and Suburban's application
was not separately considered, 80 that the
city might have been put in a position TO
compel IL to give the public better accom-
modations on its inside and outside lines.
Alderman Falligant says the protest,
signed as 1t was by some of the foremost
citizens is an indication that he voiced the
public sentiment In the council In seeking

gard for the wants Of its patrons. He does
not propose to abate his opposition, but will
take some other tack to bring it to terms
and compel it TO operate its Anderson street
line and to collect but one fare for trip
from any point on its line to any other
reached by its cars He says he is glad he
didn't sign the protest or inspire it, because
if he had, the trumped up charge that it is
a personal fight he is engaged in would
be again revamped. He says it is personal
fight with every one against the City and
Suburban who want fair treatment, and
who want TO pay but one fare for a ride
over their line of road, and who want COM
Portable cars and good road. He pro-
poses to keep up the fight until the people
get it from the present management of the
road, or until it changes hands and goes
to some cor poration that will deserve the
patronage of the people by more liberal
policy.
There is general complaint not only on
the outside lines Of the City and Suburban
railway, but in regard to the management
Of the street car lines and of the poor cars.
A few days ago party Of ladies and gen
Hemen hailed Coast Line car at Brough-
ton and Bull streets The car did not stop,
and the driver shouted to them that the
brakes wouldn't work and drove on. The
party was ON its way to the Coast Line
depot TO catch the 7:10 o'clock outgoing
train for Thunderbolt and Isle of Hope, and
had to telephone the superintendent the
circumstances and ask him to hold the train
until they could reach the depot by the
next car.
The city ordinances require that all
street cars ''shall be of the most approved
patterns" If the provisions Of the Or
dinance we're fulfilled most of the cars on
the City and Suburban and Coast Line
would be ruled out at once
