voluntary aIl-night service, but it is
poor service for the Capital of the Ma

les should, after 1 o'clock in the morn
ing, be required to run cars not longer
than fifteen minutes apart. My bill re-
curing an all-night street car service for
Washington win be vigorously pressed
this session, and I believe IL the people
OK the city will take some action il The
matter an alI-night street car service law
can be passed before the adjournment of
the snort session. Washington has fine
system of street railroads, added Colo
mel Berry, but the service is not up TO
date"
