Better lrns Needed for the Cars

The way in which the Eighth street
and Riyerview cars are now marked
causes complaint. The small signs which
are on the cars are of very little use in
distinguishing them at least at night
Persons wanting TO take car can only
guess at It's destination. They signal for
1t to stop only to find that in many cases
it is the wrong car. This ca Ases the
motor men and conductors considerable
trouble. and the people q great deal of
annoyance The cars might be painted
different colors and have red and green
lights also. Some better method Of dis
tinguishing the cars should be found
The number Of passengers. carried up
and down Market street since the electric
cars have been put on has never been
equaled except on holiday occasions
This fact Is due to two causes, tie
reduction of fare and increase in the
speed of transit. Rapid transit is now
not only to be had on electric cars but
also on the horse cars, which, whea
sand wiched" between the others must
maintain its pace At the foot of every
hill tow horse is stationed to assist in
maintaining the scheduled time The
change of horses is now made at Fourth
and Market streets, and about twenty FIVE
horses are lined from Market street to
Shipley every day.

DRANAGE-PUMP FUEL.
Mayor Comstock and Trustee Nc
LaughIin A-Figgering."
The Former Makes a Good Showing in
His Own Behalf, and Likewise
Does the Latter.

At yesterdays special meeting of the
City Trustees, after the matter of award
ing contract for doing city advertising
had been disposed of, Mayor Comstocll
brought up the subject ofthe cost of run
ming the drainage pump at Sixth and y
streets. He referred to statement made
on the preceding day by Trustee Nc
Laughlin, to the effect that he the Mayor
was spending too much money for fuel
The Mayor read some figures, and
claimed that the wood bills for October
and November showed a saving on his
part of about $500 per month. He be-
ieved Trustee McLaughlin's statement
was wild and wanton one.
Trustee Mclaughlin replied with
warmth that the Mayors statement was
wild. 1t had no basis. He (McLaughlin)
had given the number Of hours the pump
ran, and how much wood was used in
that time, showing exactly how much
was burned in an hour. If the Mayor
wanted figures on the hour basis, he
could readily learn that it was costing the
city 81 u per hour for wood, while when
he (AIcLaughlin) had charge of the pump
the cost was only 81 30 per hour.
The Mayor accused Trustee McLaugh-
LII VI e'ttSlluiHS W ever DOCly > BUSINESS
but his own, and the latter replied that
that was just what was the matter with
the Mayor.
The figures submitted by the Mayor
are as follows: For the last four weeks
run $50 hours) under his management,
the cost was sos 40. During the previous
four weeks, under a run Of 3y2 hours
conducted by Mclaughlin, the cost was
1898 50.
Trustee McLaughlin's figures differ
somewhat from those of the Mayor He
claims that, under his management of the
pump, from June 18th to July 18th, run
OF 500 hours, the cost was 1926 80, or 924
cents per hour. Then the work was done
by contract from July 18th to November
24th, run of LIB hours, at q cost of
S2,273 "a, or 81 304 per hour
Mr.. Mclaughlin also claims that, un-
der the Mayors management, from No
vember 24th TO December 18th, run of
Isl hours, the cost was $26S 40, or at the
rate of 81 II 4-5 per hour, and that from
December Sth to December 10th, run of
157 hours, the cost was 1898, or 81 81 30
per hour.
