Much complaint was made Tuesday by
the many Manchester citizens who are
employed IN Richmond. because Of tbs
long waits at Seventh and Broad ana
Seventh and Main streets. and Fourteenth
and Main. and the small number OF car3
that are used 70 handle the crowds.
This was true especially between the
hours Of $50 and o'clock. when many
ladies had to stand on the corners In the
rain because OF insufficient accommo-
dation on the cars.
II is believed. however, that the COM
pany at an early date Will remedy this
evil.
