AGAINST THE BROWN sYSTtM.
commissioners Decide Again That
1t Has Not Given Satisfaction.

1t Has Not Given Satisfaction.
The District Commissioners held "a
meeting yesterday afternoon and decided
to notify the Capital Railway Company
that they would be given ten days in
which 10 either perfect the Brown electric
system, under which the cars of the road
are operated, to remove it entirely in that
time.
On January % last, the Commissioners
decided that the Brown equipment was
not satisfactory to them, and ordered its
removal within thirty days. Senator
Hanna, accompanied by Tom Johnson, of
Cleveland, o., an owner of large interests
in the system, called upon the Commits
sioners and stated that they did not think
sufficient time had been given the COM
pany in which TO perfect their equipment,
and therefore asked that they be per-
mtted to continue its operation until the
expiration of the thirty days, when, they
thought, the system would be so far per-
Tected as to meet the approval of the
Commissioners. The Commissioners stat
ed that they had no objection to the sys-
tenn being operated until the date set, and
further that If it could be brought to that
stage of perfection first claimed for it
they would reconsider the matter of it's
removal.
Under this action the system has been
operated constantly since and the order
of the Commissioners. yesterday indicates
that 1t has not been satisfactory enough
to meet their approval.
The company, il is believed, will ask
Congress to give IL further time to eX-
pertinent with the system.
