To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
TORONTO, Canada. September 49, 1896.
Street cars are not run Sunday in this
city. There is a good deal going on, how
ever. The regular mall trains and steam
ers come and go; mails are collected and
dispatched hotels are open for travellers;
the city parks are free and are frequented
by pedestrians; picnic parties and thou
sands of bicyclists. and THE Island,'
harbor place Of resort, Owned by the city.
is accessible by small steamers (round
trip ticket. ten cents running every few
minutes 1t is largely patronized in sum-
mer by working men with their families.
the attractions being fresh air Of the lake
and a sacred concert, given in the evening
by the instrumental band, employed by the
city. The largest business Of the livery
stables is done on Sunday, and there are
no restrictions on the use of bicycles.
But street cars have ever been run in
Toronto Sunday.
When the street car franchise was first
granted, it was supposed by the parties
interested that Sunday cars would not
have patronage enough to make them
profitable. An article was inserted in the
grant to the effect that they were not to
be run unless a majority Of the qualified
electors should vote for it. The first vote
taken showed a majority of more than
seven thousand against Sunday cars. At a
second vote, taken about three years ago,
the majority had fallen to about thirteen
hundred. a few weeks ago there was
presented to the city council a petition for
Sunday cars. 1t was signed by more than
eleve thousand voters out of a whole
number of twenty-one thousand, indicating
a large majority for the measure on the
next vote. 1t is the general opinion that
| Sunday cars will be running next year.
There is property Qualifica ton for mum
| ioipal Suffrage. Any qualified widow or un-
| married woman can vote. The Qualifica-
| ton excludes the working classes. II
AS we'll as 1 could judge, those opposing
| Sunday cars are:
| First. Rich widows and old maids; they
| riages, cabs and bicycles, and they think
| working people ought to walk to church
| Sunday.
] Second Preachers and leading members
of churches in the city outskirts; their
| services are best attended when people
| can't get to the central churches. This
| happens often in winter.
| Third. Tie presbyteries and other &C.
| clesiast tica, assemblies.
Fourth. Some church members who re-
| gard sin any work done on Sunday.
| Those favoring Sunday cars are:
| First. The working classes, but they
| can't vote.
| Second. Persons living in the suburbs
who wish to attend the central churches
| Third. Preachers and leading members
| of the central churches. These say little
| but will vote the for ticket.
| Fourth. Business men generally. These
| believe that a large amount of trade is di-
| verted from Toronto to Montreal; country
| merchants call Toronto "a slow town, "
mot up to date" and go to Montreal to
buy stocks.
AS Toronto is the only North American
| city of It's population that does not lei
street cars run on Sunday the next vote
on the subject will be hotly contested.
