An echo of the Huron capital bond

the parties who negotiated the sale of

them, knowing at the time as they did,
the manner and conditions under which
the bonds we're issued, we're liable to
criminal prosecution for the part they
took in the deal. This is a little tough

par with Nipple, Mayhem and Taylor.
The News knows about as much of what
it fondly imagines it is talking about as
a Digger Indian knows of Hebrew. In
the first place, no money came into the
hands of the commission until August.
During the months Of August and Sep
TENDER elevator license was mostly paid.
The payments we're made by company
checks. The chairman Of the com
mission, who is the custodian of the
funds, deposited the checks with the
State Bank and Trust company of this
city for collection. He very properly
refused to regard the license paid for
until the collections were returned.
| Very few of the returns we're made until
about the first of September and other
checks were icing turned in all the time.
Early in October the money thus collect
ed was turned over to the state treasur-
or. Most Of it has not been available
more than from three to fifteen days
and none Of 1t, except SIS had been on
hand more than thirty days. The SIS
had b en- held for only a few days over
thirty days. Besides, if the Aberdeen
News, or any of the other railroad organs
will look up the law governing the settle
ment of elevator licenses it will be found
that a special law governs them which
was not repealed by the law requiring
state officials to turn over fees collected
not later than thirty days from their
collection.

distance of about four miles, with cold
air, requiring more than double the con-
sumption Of heated air.
For the purpose of heating the air in
passing il from the tubes to the cylinders
each car of the pattern on trial, carries
in all seasons a pot of fire underneath the
floor in the center of the car This fire
emits into the car lamp wick odor at all
times disagreeable to inhale and quite fire.
quently very offensive TO the passengers
This would be especially disagreeable dur
ing the cold weather when the windows
and doors of the car are closed
A sTnokestack from this fire pot runs
up on the inside of the car through the
roof, which throw SO much heatinto the
car as to make sitting anywhere near it
very disagreeabIe in warm weather. More
or less smoke is also thrownoff from this
fire, which at times makes its way through
the Crevices In the floor into the car aud
is blown in through the open windows, to
the additional discomfort OF the passen-
gers.
When the streets are dry the car, when
moving at even moderate rate of speed
seems to create cloud of dust, which
is dra wninto the car throughthe rear door
windows and openings in the floor, TO the
great discomfort of all and danger to those
whose throats and lungs are especially
sensitive. THIS is true with respect to
sections of the road paved between the
rails with asphalt. as well as the sections
paved with cobhiestones. This dust an
noyance has been SO marked as to give
rise TO the belief that is due to the
structural features of the car and not
simply to its rapid movement, as claimed
When moving rapidly the oscillation and
vibration Of the car. due to its great
weight and the working of the machinery
underneath, makes riding on 1t rough and
disagreeab ble-so much so that many ladies
have complained of its being painful to
them, especially when obliged to stand
and therefore have abandoned its use.
The liability of the air tubes to explode
under such an enormous pressure when
the cars are in charge OF unskilled oper-
ators, is a MA tier of such great importance
as to Call for the serious consideration of
the Commissioners, and in Connection with
this feature of the system attention Is
invited to the inclosed clippings from the
Evening Star, Of this city, of May 15
A Government inspector Of steam boilers
who made an examination Of these cars
is authority for the statement that the
tubes which they carry need inspection
more so than any steam boiler, and that,
in his judgment, it would be criminal
outrage to permit such an explosive force
to be run upon the streets OF any city
without the most rigid and frequent Gov
erunlental inspection.
In conclusion we beg leave to state that.
,yhila a Ir,a iority n the members oe the !, s.
sociation we represent are not opposed
to the adoption of a compressed

trial would subject the car to grade and

made.
A further test should be made byrunning

keverting to the trial which has been
made, on the return trip from Fifteent h

displayed so much weakness in ascending
the short grade between Quincy and K

TO reach the top of the grade or to surmoant
the Fourth street grade leading to Brook

which line this same car was thoroughly
tested before Il was brought here. a first
class compressing plant was erected last
summer, capable, the engineer in charge of
its erection stated, Of quickly charging
several cars with their full complement of
air: yet with this advantage, 1t is stated
on the authority of reliable air-Inotor
expert, that this car, fully charged, when
put to test as to the length of miles it
could run on one charging, could not ex-
ceed the limit Of four and half miles,
round trip, without being helped into the
power-house.
In explanation of the cause of the strand
