AFFAIRS OF THE DISTRICT
Alleged Violation Of a Street Rail
way COmpany's Charter.

A Vigorous Complaint Against Re-
naovaI of Tracks ut the Florida
Avenue TerminnI-Action in Kill
martins Case-sEarch Fire Losses.
Robert E l. White, of the Stewart
Building. sent communication to the
Commissioners complaining of the aban-
donment and removal Of the tracks or
the Brightwood Railway Company at the
Florida Avenue terminal lie asks to be
informed by what authority the change
was made and expresses the beilei that
it is contrary to the terms of the charter
of the road. He also asks what steps
may be taken for relief.
Mr. White states that he is a regular
patron Of the Brightwood Railway Com
pany but that he is often desirous OF
using the cars of the Capital Traction
Company in reaching his office from
Brightwood. owing to the irregularities
in the operation of the Ninth Street line.
He informs the Commissioners that the
one obstacle in the way of a fair and
reasonable use OF the latter line is that,
contrary TO the charter of the Brightwood
line, which requires that the company
shall equip and operate its line through
and along Brightwood Avenue from
the District of Columbia" is that the
company has refused to operate its line
from Boundary Street. Mr.. White states
that instead the company operates its
cars from points more than an ordinary
block or square. at least 600 feet, from
Boundary Street, thus requiring passen-
gers TO walk this distance, while its char
ter requires it to take them to Boundary
Street. Continuing. Mr. White says:
This company has taken up and aban-
doned its former Boundary Street termi-
nal point, and thus leaves passengers who
prefer to come to it by the Seventh Street
line to walk this distance. Now, this seems
TO me a gross violation of the charter Of
the company, and the work to accom-
plish which could not have been done
without a permit.
so l desire to enquire the authority
for this change in the tracks of this rail
road at Boundary Street, for I can per
ceive no authority in your honorable body
to permit change Of the structure aDd
position Of a street railroad In the face
OF the plain requirement of the act of
Congress locating the same. The COM
pany is required. as is generally known,
to sch coupon tickets, good for use on
the Capital Traction Companys line for
transfer to the latter line at Boundary
Street. IL is for the use Of these tickets,
especially, that ! claim it is the duty of
the Brightwood road to bring passengers
TO and take passengers from Boundary
Street, and not require them to walk a
square TO and from this new place of
stopping the cars And it is the duty of
the company required by it's charter TO
operate its line from Boundary Street in
first class condition; in fact, from each
end Of the line.
i make request of you, in my own be-
half, and in behalf OF all the patrons Of
the road. that you see to the proper en-
forcement Of this charter. even If 1t be
necessary that legal proceedings be in
stituted to the end that a forfeiture be
declared, as by the act required. for any
failure TO comply with any provisions of

CIVIL SERVICE FOR
RURAL MAIL CARRIERS

Rural free delivery carriers will bt
placed under civil service on Feb. .
The recent order of the president eX
tending the classified civil service tc
the rural free delivery service con.
tanned a provision that it should not
! become effective as to the rural letter
carriers until the necessary rules
were agreed upon by the civil service
commission and the postoffice depart
ment. Since that time the commits
sion and General Superintendent Ma
chen. representing the postoffice de
partment, have held frequent confer
ences locking to the preparation of
plans to meet the special conditions
existing in rural communities.
The plan finally agreed upon and
formally approved by the postmaster
general and the civil service commits
sion was prepared by Mr.. Mechan.
Under its provisions the rules will be-
come effective Feb = Afterthat date
all petitions for the establishment of
service must be submitted on blanks
provided for that purpose by the de
partment. The petitions will include
nominations for the position of car
rier, each petitioner having the right
to make a nomination if he desires to
do SO. The special agent who reports
on the feasibility of establishing ser
vice will examine the applicants
named by the petitioners and any
others who may apply.
The examination will be extremely
simple and practical, only sufficient
to test the applicants ability to read
and write. 1t is comprised in the fill
ing out of an application blank in
which are a number of general ques-
tions. Only persons residing on or in
the immediate vicinity of proposed
route will be examined and no appli-
eants will be examined unless they
have the necessary equipmnt, horses
and wagon or cart. or can satisfy the
special agent that they are prepared
to furnish the equipment if APP
pointed.
Political or religious utilization OF
applicants cannot be considered, nor
will political endorsements be receiv-
ed or entertained. Persons under IL
or over So will not be examined, but
this age limit does not apply to hon
orably discharged soldiers of the civil
or Spanish war.
Besides applying to all new apph-
cants the order formally approved
extends civil service protection to
about 5000 rural free delivery car
riers now in the postal service

ADVANCE IN COAL
Said That Dealers Are to Raise
Price so Cents a
Ton.
SCARCITY DUE TO COLD SPELL
Although Denied, 1t is Reported the
Increase VIII be Effective
Last of Year.

There is persistent rumor in cir
culation to the effect that the price
of coal is to go up 50 cents a ton with
the beginning of the new year Coal
men deny any knowledge of n change.
but admit that the scarcity i'm black
diamonds is still very pronounced, 50
much so. in fact, that spell of ex-
tremely cold weather is looked upon
as possible calamity.
Local conditions with reference to
the coal supply are peculiar in the
them. The greater part of the coal
used in Rock Island and Moline is
mined by the Coal Valley Mining com
pany, but in ordinary times it is pos
sible to secure a few car loads daily
from the region tapped by the q in
Mercer county. Since the outside de-
mand has been so brisk there has
been little if any coal brought here
over the q and the source of supply
has gradually fallen behind the rate
of consumption.
No Relief I'm Prospect.
AS the Coal Valley Mining company
is getting out all the fuel it can han
die now there does not appear To be
any prospect of relief from danger
of serious famine till other sur
rounding cities accumulate some
thing of n reserve supply. and this is
a slow process in the winter. Hence
the rumor of an advance in price ap
pears to be we'll founded.
