SHOULD ALE HAVE PASSES.

Fir ectOr Barrow Believes Aldermen
should Have Right to Ride Free.
Somehow idea has got abroad that all Of
the city aldermen have passes on the street
railroad system Many people entertain
this idea. Director Pope Barrow, though
stated yesterday that it was all a mis-
take. So far as ne knew. he said, neither
the Mayor any of the aldermen, nor any
of the city officials, had passes which
gave them the right to ride free on the
street cars.
But" added Mr. Barrow, Il believe
that the Mayor and aldermen should have
passes, and l have several times mention
ed the matter in the hope that each of
them would be favored with a pass giving
him the right to ride ad .ibitum on all
our system. l believe il would be a beneht
TO the city for them to have passes. They
receive no pay from the city, and conse
quenty cannot be expected TO be paying
out their own money in riding around the
city seeing its condition and finding out
where there are matters needing their
attention 1 tell you, 1 believe that they
should all have passes and that the peo-
pie should indorse the idea There womb
be nothing mpropersin it and there might
be much good resulting from il to the
entire pubic"
There Is pretty general understanding
with the public that some if not al of
the aldermen and many other employees Of
the city ride on free passes and that the
same privilege is used by the iudges of
