drive two miles for / shilling, or "a cents,
and at the rate of sixpence per mile be-
yond that. either night or day.
TIE metropolitan underground railways
run their workman's trains from A. M. TO
suit everybody. In Liverpool the ferry
boats run all night between there and the
Cheshire side of the Mersey, where a large
proportion Of working people live.
don't understand why your Oakland
and Alameda ferries do not run all night.
III they run boat every hour or hour and
half lots OF reople would prefer living
over there. / believe that the fruiterers,
commission and produce merchants who
are in business on that side OF the water
are obliged TO live ove1 here so as 10 be able
TO purchase their daily stock early enough
10 supply their customers.
I'm Australia there is not nearly so much
night life as in San Francisco. Everybody
goes to bed earlier. The theaters and
hotels are closed at IL p. NJ, and the streets
are practically deserted by midnight, yet In
Sydney the ferries run all night 10 accom-
modate workers. Balmain and North
Shore being essentially workingmen's
suburbs are made accessible by these ferry
bats. And there Is no difficulty in reach
ing other districts which are only an easy
walk from the center of the town.
In Melbourne there are not many people
astir at night, but night cabs run to Carl
ton and other districts. after the streetcars
stop running These cabs are small kind
OF wagoDette, which ply regularly from
stands, and the fare is only three pence.
There are none OF those cOnveniences in
San francisco. Ii you are visiting friend
you must trudge back home in the dark on
your feet, unless you are rich enough to
keep or hire a carriage"
Well. we're going to change all this very
soon, and the next time our British cousin
comes this way We'll show him city with
better nlghtcar facilities than he'll find any
where else on earth.
No; that's not a rash boast. Already we
have the best daycar service in the world.
Let one line get running at night and it
won't be long before the other main lines
will follow suit.
Just you keep on signing those CALL
pledges. You needn't sign more than one +,
but be sure to sign the one.
lie sure your neighber signs his one.
