Closed Cars Are Wanted.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
I wish to call attention, through your

the accommodations for travel on the

sequence, have not been free from cold
since last November.
During the winter season the cars were
comfortably heated but the company have
already taken off all the closed cars and,
though they have plenty of trailers, do not
use them at all, forcing persons, sick or
well, to ride in open cars when the tenn
perature upon them is, am told, twenty
degrees colder than one is subjected to in

weather was chill and raw, persons going
to and from the Park had to submit to the

contracted severe cold, which, but for
