Let the Notices Be Plain and Distinct.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
The cautionary notice "wait until the car
stops" on the new 18th street cable cars is of
about the same color as the backs Of the seats
on WHICH IL appeoft. ana is u3fulf d1scernlble
by natural light and is absolutely undiscernible
by artificial light. II the notice is necessary ~
all it ought to be made effective 1 was i'm
pressed the other night with the necessity Of
not only the knowledge but with the COM
pliance of such q notice when saw a lady Ut
tempt to alight from q car before il stopped and
fall fat on the pavement.
Will yon not bring to bear the influence Of
your paper upon the Washington and George
town Railroad Company to print the notice in
big black or.white letters and for night pur-
poses have transparencies.
Let the change be made before the Thousands
Of G. A. r. men arrive, many Of whom are not
accustomed to street cars especially cable street
cars.
II the company is bound to give this notice l
am sure the present abortive attempt would not
be accepted a. Q good and sufficient notice in
any court. because ''actual notice is knowl-
edge actually brought home to the party who is
to be affected by it,
Another point. Would il not be well II cars
going in opposite directions had different kinds
OF danger signals!' As it is two gongs ex.
actly alike are often sounded simultaneously,
and passenger might. under the impression
that but one gong hsd sounded. and that one on
the car from which ha Is aiightinR put himself
In great peril SroUGHrox STREET.
