EAST SIDERS KICK.
They Demand at Least Decent
Street-Car Accommodations.
Frequent Mishaps 0rIy Aggravate
the Difficulty.
Third Avenue Road Makes Money
and Seemingly Doesn't Care.

People on the east side have been
watching with increasing interest the
progress of The Evening WORM
fight against the street railroad cnihPh-
MICS which overcrowd their cars ana
neglect to give decent accommodations
to their patrons.
One correspondent writes that ne Is
glad to see 1.-THE Evening world Is
telling about all the stops when occur
on the Third Avenue road, ana suggests
that a regular schedule of such occur
rences be kept just to see what he
record would be at the end OF the week
That would be next to impossible, Tor
Judging from the number OF complaints
that are received from indignant traN-
ellers, there must bo about score Oh
these a day on different parts OF the
route The frequency with when shch
mishaps occur only elbows the mar
ference of the management to public re
uuirements. and Is the result, no DOUBT
of the economies which have been
practlsed by the Company in equipplnG
its road with cheap and defective ma
chinery.
1t is not an unusual thing for the cable
TO be stopped 70: an hour at time. and
this happens somewhere very nearly
or course, this sort of thing only ag-
gravates the difficulty where We ca rs
are permitted to be crowded, as ,hGy are
during the busy hours of the gay anu
for this reason the people OF me eas, ,
side are perfectly justlied IN ire,S me-
full manner by this corporation ,,

some personal observations WIN rreah.n
to the number Of fares collected on inc
Third avenue cars during the rush hours,

trip each way they tax" in tully o. Wh',n
is enough to pay the wages OF both the
Conductor and gripman for the day, and
leave something over. ~ . -,
The following letter, when came III

that the estimate given above Is no,
any too high:
To the Editor: - ,
which arrived at the Post ONCE at OBS n NJ 10
day had 1872 passengers on It's down trip ana no
trailer either This speaks volumes for your hsht
for better accommodations for traSglIcgs ,pn,Sr
IA NAV be seen by a simple arith-
metical computation this means that
the car in question took IN So,Sn on rs tS
down trip alone, which If nearly 90
above the estimate given by announcer
Letters have been received from, SO
many readers of THE Evening Norlu,
urging that the fight be kept M that IL

Here Is one to the point:
Keep Up the Fight.
To the Editor: ~ At.
/ ha,s become greatly interested In your night
against the street railroad corporations. ! hope
you will keep II up as YOU SAID you Mon,u' uUt, ,
the next Legislature meets | am steady patron
OF the Third avenue cars, ana hbera psuuh-
izer OF the broadway also and want Ia ASK the
n the oticials Of the above named roads are NJ
ignorant or ~ thick hclded that they cannot see
that the system Of relays and trailers, u carried
out as suggested by your readers, would benehi
them as well the people. They are not thlCk-
headed or ignorant either which Is shown by the
way they rake In the money from the people VINO
must either patronlze their cars or Walk, ana IN
the way they try to skin the city treasury out oi
All the interest and taxes they can whenever theY
get a chance. That the people have become
aroused to the Importance Of this matter Is con
clusyely shown by the many letters when YOU
publish every day, ad It ~ no wonder Tor We are
way behind other cities In this matter, We are
the laughing stock not alone Of the people wh'
come here from European cities, but also those
who have occasion to visit this city from oul
growing Western towns. why, do you suppose
for one instant that the people Of Chicago or Den
yer would put up with any such thing as tbs
breaks ad stops which we have had To put up Will
on the Third avenue road every day for the pas
month Not by long shot The railroad cOrpO
rations Of those cities show some respect TO thu
people who enrich them, and with no compulsorl
law either. l., A. u.
