cyclist, Of financial loss owing to the break
ago Of the machine. With this taken for
granted, as 1t may well and Justly be. the
Commissioners should, 1t 10 believed. make
plain regulations for the use Of the streets
and pavements by pedestrians and the driv-
ers Of vehicles. Pedestrians, for instance.
should be made to understand that cross
ing from one side Of the street to the other
except at street crossings Is productive Of
personal danger to themselves and must be
done at their own risk. Drivers of vehicles
should be compelled to observe the rule of
keeping to the right Of the road on all the
streets of Washington except the streets
which have car-tracks running through
their centers. and which have thus come to
be regarded as double streets. There is a
regulation now that covers the matter Of
double streets thus formed, and there should
be one to make all vehicles keep to the right
on the single streets. In such a case all
those who use the highways would know
perfectly well what was expected of them
and could be properly dealt with in case
they did not exert this knowledge.

The adoption Of an optional measured
service rate system in the cities of Balti-
more and Washington by the Chesapeake
and Potomac Telephone Company. which
permits the users of telephones to pay a
stated sum for stipulated number of mes
sases sent In one year, may be taken as
an indication that the general public pro-
test against the enormous prices charged
for the use of telephones in the larger cities
Of this country Is beginning to be felt. The
adoption Of the system may be also re-
garded by those whose natures are hope
full ss the first step. halting though 1t may
be. taken by the telephone people toward
fair policy in the treatment Of its SUBJ
scribers who pay the present excessively
high fiat rates.

Vehicles and Pedestrians.

The question as to how to govern the use
of the streets by bicyclists. pedestrians and
those who drive horses-which is now being
considered by the Commissioners of the
District-ehould be easy of settlement in
manner that will meet the desires Of all the
sensible people who are interested in the
subject. 1t is not too much to say that
ninety-nlne out Of every one hundred Of the
bicyclists In the District Of Columbia are
heartily in favor Of the adoption Of regula-
tions that will best protect the public at
large and themselves from the possibility
of collisions that are nearly always pro-
ductiys OF bodily injury and. to the b.

1 have noticed in the newspapers
statement affecting me personally, SUD-
stantially to the effect that l have never
reported that in my opinion Santa Mon

water harbor than San Pedro Bay.
l would like to call attention to the
fact that anyone who has followed TINS
harbor controversy from the beginning
knows that have at all times expressed
the opinion verbally and in evidence be-

that Santa Monica Bay offers site Tor
a deep water harbor in every way TO
be preferred to any site available IN
San Pedro Bay. Yours, very truly,
