MR.. wATROUS TALKS.
Mr.. Ralph c. Watrous. the well known
'real estate man. said that he had not
had sufficient time to give the question
all the consideration that 1t deserved,
but, OF course, had certain views on the
subject
1T seems to me-" he said. "that the
Union Railroad company is trying to
create the impression that II wants to
give transfers. but Is endeavoring to
make the method of giving them so diff
ficult and fnconyeniene that nobody will
want them"
Frank III. Jackson, ESQ, the we'll known
attorney, said that he had not considered
the matter at all. and therefore was not
prepared TO speak on the subject yet.
He could however, he said, see that
Some people might be inconvenienced as
all cars did not run to and from the same
terminal points
Other gentlemen also stated their de-
cided objection to the station system. but
were strongly in favor of a transfer ticket
being given on the cars.
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1900-12-27

The suggestion made by the directors
the people OF Providence with a transfer
system by means of transfer station TO
be located In some central point of the
city, Market Square being preferred. was
fully published In yesterdays News. to-
gether with the views OF some OF the
officers OF the company.
There is really, as already stated. MOTH
ing new in this proposition, and IL Is. in
fact, substantially the same plan that
was proposed by the Union Railroad COM
pany when the free transfer act was pass
ed by the General Assembly.
The city council at that time refused
to endorse transfer system which made
It obligatory upon the part OF patrons OF
the road to enter a building In order to
receive transfer. and the indications are
that the incoming city council will be OF
the same opinion.
In fact, there is already a well defined
opposition TO the central station plan, and
IL Is not improbable that this opposition
will become more general after the prop
osition has been more fu-.y considered.
STATION NOT POPULAR.
Quite a number of prominent business
men have already expressed themselves
as being opposed to any central transfer
station, or, in fact, any other station
system whatever.
They are of the opinion that Providence
can just as well have the same system
that is successfully I'm operation in other
leading cities of the country. that is the
regular transfer ticket -systena--
The transfer tickets could very easily
be given by the conductors when pas
senger pays his or her fare. and in this
way there could be no fraud practiced
upon the company. as all tickets would.
of course, be numbered and dated
This system is simple, direct and meets
with general approval. and the refusal of
the Union Railroad company to adopt IL
has led many persons TO believe that the
corporation really has no desire TO give
the people what they have so long de-
manded.
The opinions Of some gentlemen may be
valuable as indicating public sentiment.
