Wilton ]. Lambert. of the Brightwood
Avenue Association.
MIR. Lambert, as chairman Of the delesa-
ton. was the first speaker. He recited the
history of the railroad and enumerated the
various causes for complaint regarding
poor facilities. Captain Beach Interrupted
the speaker and called Gitention 20 the
fact that the railway had recently changed
ownership and that IL would be more I'M
portant to note the defects under the new
management. Continuing, Mr.. Lambert
said that under the old management pa
irons were only forced to wait from fifteen
TO twenty minutes for car. but that now
/, they were compelled to wait at times as
i; long as an hour and half. He also called
attention to the inconvenience of crowds
waiting at Seventh and the Boundary on
account of the irreguiarity and infreqren-
cy of cars.
Mr.. Lambert said that under present
conditions the rate of speed OF the cars
was dangerous and that this, added 20 the
poor equipment, increased the risks Of the

: reduced and that many OF the best en-
ployes had left making il necessary that
inexperienced men and new hands be Sc
cured.
MIR. Kinnear said that the company

passengers He failed to see why the old
management, with the same number "f cars
!. and practically the same men. could op-
, crate the road with so much better salts
faction than the new management. ne as.
serted that the company had a stable iuii
of summer cars without motors. whlle ne
had recently ridden in an old box car
with nine passengers, which ought not 10

Mr.. Clayton declared that unless some
thing was done TO improve matters there
would be a terrible accident On the ROAD.
He stated that the old management Kept
from twenty TO thirty men working at all
times. but that he had seen no men work
sing as repair hands under the new man
