DESIGNATE THE CARS.

Mr.. Editor;
The Portsmouth street railroad have
no idea how many passengers they lose
by not having q way to designate the
cars. Besides this 1t Is great incon-
ventence to the putSlic. I have stood on
the corner frequently waiting for what
| thought was the cur I wanted, and
then learned that the one should have
taken had passed. The cost of signs
would be but little. and the public
would be greatly benefited by the same
strange gentleman stood on the post
otilce corner yesterday and wanted n
Park View car. He asked ME which
enc to take and I could not tell him.
gentlemen, you have shown yourself to
be public spirited men, so accommodate
the public that much. at least and be-
sides this, let them know what kind
CT schedule YOU are running so one can
make calculations how to catch your
cars.
