THE Journal rants a brake exer-
cising a force of 12O foot-tons put on
every trolley car. This is to stop the
car in a few feet and do away with the
need of a fender. 1t might occur to the
Journal that the sharp application of
such a brake to a car moving twenty
miles an hour would be apt to create a
worse disaster than it would avert.
Such a stoppage would in fact preci-
plate every occupant of a car in a
heap in its forward extremity. Those
nearest he windows would be driven
foremost through them. In winter
the red hot stove and it's contents would
be tossed on top of the mass of strug-
Cling humanity.
Yes. oh yes. a 100 f~oot-ton brake
be a nice thing 1o< a Gr running
twenty miles an hour. 1t is a doubtful
whether a car SO stopped
might not turn a clean somersault.

tells US that the situation is absolutely
dangerous; there is peril of just such a
fatal explosion as took place in Olym-
pia, New York, a couple of days after
that popular resort was opened. TIL s
is a dreadful thing if it is true. The
Commission should not lose one day in
coercirg the contractor into making
such changes as would make the building
safe.
There seem to be numerous faults al
most equally grave All the piping has
been put up without expansion joints.
The valves are insufficient in number
and ~ncomnf6dious in arrangement. The
boiler is so set up as not to be durable.
The connections with it are SO bad that
the engineer is liable to be deceived as
to the water level. and an explosion may
occur.
1t is simply disgusting that this work
hould be SO dom as TO leave room for
SO much severe criticism. Make every
possible discount for the e-xaggerations
of the man who starts in to criticize
and there still remains here enough to
bring down the severest condemnation
on all concerned There seems to have
been no proper plan for the work and
no proper supervision of it. The job
is completed. the fires are lit. steam
pressure is put on, and then a last a
host of improprieties and imperfections
are discovered.
It is just like everything else about
this monstrosity of MISUNDERSTANDING
totally unsatisfactory.
