Cars to Stop In Conformity With Conn

AS the result of conference between
Mr.. H. w. Fuller, general manager of the
Washington Traction Company, and Su-
perintendent CARL Of the Capital Traction
Company the street railway companies of
the District, in obedience to the Commits
sioners' order of the 18th Of last month
will stop their cars on and after Sunday
next, the 18th instant, on the near side of
intersecting streets. This order of the
Commissioners, 1t will be recalled, was
made upon the motion of Commissioner
Macfarland, and was due to the collision
between truck B of the fire department
and street car at Connecticut avenue and
lost his life Mr.. Macfarlands motion
prevailed only by a majority vote of the
Commissioners, Captain Beach, the En-
gineer Commissioner. declining to vote for
1t for the following reasons:
1.-The rule laid down in the first para
graph, which requires 1900 to 10000 cars
to stop for single crossing of fire en-
gine, If enforced. does not appear to me
to be the best balancing of the public in
terests involved which can be obtained.
Concerning the rule that cars should stop
on the near side, / believe the records Of
the coroner's Office win show, where acci-
dents have been attributable to the STOP
ping Of cars on one side or the other that
the near-side rule has given rise to more
fatalities than the far-side rule, and as the
stoppage on the farther side has many
advantages which the near side does not
possess, l think the present rule of stop
ping on the farther side should not be
changed"
The rule referred to by Captain Beach,
as laid down in the first paragraph of the
order, requires street cars to stop before
passing over the routes most commonly
used by the fire department companies in
responding to calls. These stons boweyar
will be enforced by the police department
