Mr.. Nathaniel Wilson explained the pro-
visions of the bill, stating that the penalty
provided would fall not upon the motor
men, but upon the really responsible party,
the company itself. Mr.. Wilson also re-
ferred to the nuisance resulting from the
running of the complained-of cars, remark
ing that no one along the line would OBJ
ject to signing a petition for their removal.
Mr. Mcclure said he regretted to do so,
but he felt compelled to enter protest
against the further running Of these naavy
yellow cars. His windows are ratified, sleep
is practically out of the question, and
when the windows are open it is impossible
to converse.
Mr. Roessle, proprietor Of the Arlington
Hotel. said that these cars have resulted

for which he pays an annual rental Of $11,-
600. his guests absolutely refusing to &C.
cupy rooms therein. He spoke of the very
high speed at which the cars are run, ad-
d ng that policeman once very truthfully
remarked that a fine of a dollar or two
would not prevent such a thing.
Mr.. Sands also thought the proposed law
should be made applicable to all local street
railways. and he gave some of his expert
ences stating that he can get no sleep after
o'clock am. He referred to the difficulty
experienced by women and children In get
ting on the cars and agreed that the cars
amount to an intolerable nuisance.
Injurious to Walls.
Mr.. Rosenfeld, the proprietor of the Rich
mond Hotel, said that in every room and
hallway in his house cracks due to these
heavy cars may be found. His guests are
unable to obtain the rest 10 which they are
entitled, and referring to the speed Of the
cars, he said that some time ago several
engineers, equipped with stop watches, had
after making the necessary measurements,
found that the cars ran from twenty-five
to thirty EIGHT miles an hour when exceed
ing the rate allowed by law.
Capt. Mullan's experience, as related by
him. agreed with that Of Mr.. Rosenfeld and
the other speakers. and Messrs Dodge.
Brown and Jesse H. Wilson submitted like
complaints, Mr.. Dodge having reference
more particularly to the cars on the u

In Akron.

his predecessors had failed to do in
years of efforts, and all the great

University of Michigan has been built
