How Suburban Residents Were Laid Out
on = sPrinE-Like Day.
There have been few occasions in HsIsns
when the street cars have bsen unable ia
run owing TO the elements, and never until
two days ago where they blockaded by a
chinook. This happened on she Helenu
Rapid Transit companJ's line to the Broad
water Wednesday. and for eight hours the
cars laid between Harrison avenue and
kenWood. Meanwhile the cars Of the
Helena Electric company. RAINING through
identicallv the same section, were making
their regular trips. illustrating ths super
iority Of an electric comTany over q rapid
transit company.
Allthe residents OF Kenvood Who desired
to come into town either walked or rode on
the Helena Electric company's cars. A
peeuliarity of the situation was the lack OF
knowledge Of any one connected with the
rapid % company as to how the line was.
The officers knew they had 30 many cars,
but Just whore they were or whore they
ought TO be there was apparently the
densest Ignorance. Ladies' waited al the
motor ONCE from IL a. m. until .. NJ. for
the cars and then walked home. About
30 motormau came 10 town and re-
ported that the chinook wind had blown
the anow over the rails and the line was
blocked. Finally about four o'clock when
the sun had melted the snow OF, traffic
was resumed.
The snow was just as deep. II not deeper.

pany. but go we'll is that line equipped.
and so careful are the officials Of the inter-

The Rp-hazard, happy-go-lRckY. gst-there-

BroadwAtef line of the Rapid Transit COM

OF many vigorous complaints by residents
OF KenWood and those living along the line.
