especially at the joints, that tie sur
face of the street is brought IN con-
tact with the machinery underneath the

( in jeopardy. Il would seem 70 me that Il would
be good idea for these electric roads to lay
their rails ms the steam car companies dole,

Secondly. Recently this company has
! adopted rule or regulation OF stopping only
at crossings. Why this new adoption l.
an certainly not aware, but 1 viii say
that il is an outrage to certain eN-
tent on the travelling public Ii would seem
| that tine present management Of this road has
very little, If any, regard for ~. p patrons or
between North Capitol and LIST streets
northwest is an exceptionally long
one Heretofore there was generally
seine one to get of on the cars half way
TINS square, on every car passing, out no" you
must walk square 70 get on me cars
il YOU must ride. Only last night dur
ing the haroes; part OF the storm L
was compelled, with my child, to get on at
LIST street and walk to my residence. and the re-
suit was that we both got soaking wet, whereas
the car could have Just as well stopp'd
in the middle OF this square. Numerous
instances have already occurred where
this regulation very Objectionable,
and IL the Commissioners have any power IN

pany be compeIled TO stop their cars, when nee
essary. in the middle of the square. The cable
road stop their cars in the middIe OF al iong
squares and the lexington road should be made
TO do the same.
Thirdly. Since this new regulation has taken
effect il allows the motormen uninterrupted
sway in descending the grade between LIST ana

make the assertion, without doubt. that they
descend this grade al the rate OF twenty-five OF

dust in constant circulation, 30 when the resi-
dents open windows for breeze they get pure

Commissioners look into this matter and sec
that some consideration is given tine public by
this greedy corporation

ANOTHER RUSH OF LlQUoR NES.
Never in the history Of the District govern
ment has there been such . rush 70
file applications for honor licenses there
was today. From early morning until the
office closed License Clerk Montague was mp

possible to receive all the applications offered

Commissioners will instruct the police

who intend going out of business on account Of
their inability TO pay the additional tax
