General Manager Lotion Gets out n
Folder Containing Pointers.

Folder Containing Pointers.
General Manager Lotion of the Savau-
nah, Thunderbolt and Isle of Hope Rail-
way. is endeavoring to thoroughly ac-
quaint the public with the rules of get
ting on and off the cars, and how to act
while on the cars in order to save time
for all concerned. In a circular he has
just issued in pamphlet form appears the
complete time table of all lines, and other
information very useful to patrons of the
cars.
Besides the schedules the route of the
various lines is given. The recent acquisi-
lions for suburban entertainment are
named, with full explanation of the way
to reach each of them. The pamphlets are
being distributed generally. General Man
ager Lotion has found from his expert
ence in street railway management that
its an advantage to the public and the
street railway to observe these rules,
which appear on the folder:
Always wait until the car comes to a
full stop before endeavoring TO get on or
off.
Always get on and off on the right
hand side of car.
Cars stop only on the opposite side of
street from the direction in which they
are BOIlSs LOT Instance, IL d car 10 SOiilS
south on Whitaker street crossing
Broughton street it would stop on the
south side of Broughton street; exceptions.
will be made in the case Of Liberty street
and Oslethorpe avenue.
Street car patrons will facilitate the
schedule and save themselves annoyance
by being al the right place when they de-
sire to board the car
When you desire a transfer, ask for same
han 70 ole 4 he
conductor where you wish to get off, and
If you desire to transfer to another car,
notify conductor what particular car you
wish.
AS a precautionary measure raise your
hand before reaching point at which you
wish to get off; the conductor having
many passengers may forget you.
Never expect car to stop and wait for
you if you are a considerable distance from
the track, as they have a regular sched-
ule to make, and besides passengers al
ready on the car are entitled TO the most
couSidera ton.
Always have your fare ready when con-
ductor calls for tit will aid the conduc-
tor and allow him to pay more attention
to his other duties.
Never talk TO the motorman, and only to
the conductor as much as may be neces-
sary as by so doing you will detract their
attention from their duties.
Another feature which Manager Lotion
has added to the East and West Broad
Street Bell will be appreciated, not only
by the patrons of that line, but by the
patrons of all cars which run on the Bay,
the Battery Park car patrons on West
Broad street and those of the
Liberty street cars on Randolph
and the east end of Liberty
streets. 1t is the placing of led
signal lights on the front and rear of all
East and West Broad belt cars to dis
tinguish them from cars on other lines.
On the Bay from Barnard to Abercorn
streets patrons of the Whitaker, Barnard
and Abercorn cars have heretofore had
difficulty in telling the East and West
Belt cars from those of the other lines al
night, and there has been the same diff
Guilty on West Broad street and on Ran
dolph street to distinguish the belt from
other cars. There is no difficulty now with
the red signal lights on the front and
rear dash-boards in telling which are the
half cars
