CAUSE FOR COMPLAINT.
Conductors on the East Lake Line En- counter Difficulties in Collecting Fares
 F'rom the Tough Element.

There is corsidera ble complaint being made by conductors on the East Lake division of the Birmingham Railway and Electric company at the persistent efforts of somv~o of the tough element cf the city to beat them out of their fares while go- ing to and from that well known summer resort at night. They make 1t a habit to.get cn the running boards of the cars and swing low when the conductor comes in .sight and when he has gone the round and comes to them for fares they claim to have already paid him. This is very small piece of-werk on ths part of the beats" and theywil no doubt find some daZ Z-that it, is rather expensive t. say notning of little in them after seeing a good performance for nothing to attempt to beat the road out of csnt piece. Should one of them happen to meet with an accident they will naturally attempt to recover damages from the company, but they will go unrewarded as the com- pany has posted in full view of every one the announcem s.1t that persons are requested, pot to ride on the running boards as the company will not be re- spcnsible for damages
 few arrests will stop the dangerous as. well as, small business on the part of the beats, and at the same time relieve many anxious minds who are in constant dread of witnessing serious accident to the daring mjscre ants.
