A GrOwl About the Cable Cars,

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
VIII you allow growler to growl2 The
7th street cable line is the finest in the city
and in the days of its youth was literally
supplied with cars much to its patrons delight.
But change has come about. The travel has
grown immensely, but the accommodations
have stood as still as monument. Between 8
and al and from to 5p. m there arc not cars
sufficient to hold half the travel, even when the
grip cars are used. Men who are almost ill are
forced to ride on the open cars and the grin
or pneumonia have been the result in many
cases, The company is known to have sufficient
stock to maintain double service of closed
cars and they should be compelled by public
sentiment to do SO between the hours men,
toned. LIE DRorr P.RK

TO FORM A HISTORICAL SOCIETY.
There has been some talk among those inter-
ested in the Georgetown Of years gone by of
forming an historical society, whose main OBJ
ject will be to secure from the towns through
out Maryland and Virginia and wherever they
may exist the scattered records, old maps,
early newspapers and other things of histori-
cal nature relating to the town and to preserve
them In the rooms OF the society with other
historical documents that from time to time
Will make their appearance. Local relics OF
all descriptions will be collected and officers
periodically chosen to care for them. 1t is
urged that such society would receive earnest
support from the best people OF the place. 1t is
said many of the documents which would be
gathered together are now in possession of
people residing at and in the vicinity of Hagers-
town, Rockville, Frederick, Baltimore and
Alexandria.

A WATER BILL
To Punish Those Attempting to Defraud the
District.

District
Capt. Rossell has forwarded to the Commits
sioners draft Of a bill drawn by Capt. Lusk Of
the water department for transmission to Con-
gress to punish attempts to defraud the Dis
trict revenues of water furnished through
meters. The only penalty that can now be
enforced is cutting off the water supply,
which is dangerous to health. The water do
partment says Capt Rossell, is self sustaining,
with exceedingly low water rates, and in order
to continue this satisfactory state of affairs it is
important that the department should have all
that it is entitled to.
The bill provides that any person who. with
intent to injure or defraud the District Of Co.
iumbla, by the use of any pipe, tube. or con-
trlvance for conducting the supply OF Potomac
water In such manner rs to pass or carry the
water. or any portion thereof, around or with
out passing through the meter, shall be guilty
OF misdemeanor, and upon conviction be pun
ished by imprisonment not exceeding six months
or by fine not exceeding $3.50.
