during the morning hours. 1t is no common
occurrence for citizens TO wait from toa to
twenty minutes for q car. An Illustration OF

past eleven o'ctork while reporter OF The
JERSEY CITy NEWS was standing at the corner OF
Chapel and Ocean avenues. An elderly lady
who desired to 60 down town waited there
thirteen minutes before car arrived. As it
approached the avenue, she walked out to the
track and signalled the motormau TO stop. Tue

grin aud told the lady TO take the next car. The

lightning. The car was only partly flied with
passengers and could have ACCOMMODATED at
least smother score of people. Four minutes
elapsed before the next motor arrived The
