Leicester, Aug. 21.-Superintendent
Suburban drove over the line of track
today, accompanied by a young man
with pail Of white paint and a brush
At poles which appeared to be good
stopping places the last named gentle
man jumped out and put on a streak
CT paint.
In short time each pole so designat-
ed will be marked by the white stripe,
drnoting a stopping place, and it is ex-
pected passengers who do not mind the
white stripe will find they have missed
their car. The men are in favor of the
idea, which nearly every road has
adopted. 1t will simplify matters for
the motorman and save power. Pas
sengers in the residential portion must
| expect to be left if they don't go to the
appointed place TO take car.
