| The Tracks ON the Tenleytown Road.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
| As one Of the driving public" on the Ten
leytown road desire to add my growl to that
Of "E. D. Darling" at the condition Of the
road, especially that portion between Tunlaw
road and Faystts street. It is a shame and
disgrace to our District government that any
1 corporation ID thus permitted to impose upon
the rights Of the public. Last week saw .
/ farmer with large load Of hay stranded in the
gutter for two hours or more, whither he bad
/ been crowded to let the electric cars pass. The
| portion Of the road between their tracks u not
/ and never has been kept In decent order. The
rails stick way above the grade, and one cannot
cress the tracks except at right angles without
| wfenching the wheels. How long will tbsss
! vho have the power allow such Q. condition OF
s1airs to exist? From TunlRw road to Faystts
I & rest The company should Be made 70 take up
one track and place the other in the middle Of
t-s street. They could have ono or two switchss
ON this sinsis-trsek distance for cars going OPP
