Of monster 'decapods, or engines with
ten drivers, recently delivered to the
Santa Fe railroad has just passed

carry 225 pounds of steam pressure.
Their massive drivers are fifty-seven
inches in diameter, and each engine
can haul a load Of 200 tons up a fif-

1t is intended to have the single en-
gines do the work formerly accom-
plished by -'dOuble-header'' trains. The
weight Of each is 259. 200 pounds. or five
tons more than the largest engine pre-

CROWDED STREET CARS
Complaints Of Inefficient Service
to Be Investigated by the
City Council.

Not few Of the patrons of the
street car service who are complain
ing of the crowded condition of the
cars mornings and evenings. were re-
1oicing yesterday on learning that a
resolution had been adopted by the
city council. calling for an investiga-
ton of the matter complained about.
In many quarters the opinion was eX-
pressed that something in the line of
a remedy would result from the cOun-
CHS action. just as had been accom-
pushed a couple of years ago when the
council demanded of the street ear
company TO provide more adequate
accommodations for the public on the
West Temple and East second South
lines
50 many people have made com
plants 30 me of the crowded condi-
ton OF the cars morning and evenings
and have urged that the city council
ought 10 require the company TO put
on more cars to properly accommo-
date the public, that I concluded to
introduce the resolution calling for an
investigation stated Councilman
Ihomas yesterday, when asked for his
reason in proposing that some remedy
for the complaint be demanded. Com
plants of the Inadequate service come
from all parts of the city reached by
the car lines. 1t is A common thing to
see women standing up in the aisles
and other passengers hanging on be-
cause the cars 90 not run often enough
or because not enough cars are in SER
vice during the periods named. every
DAY. The Consolidated Railway &
Power company certainly has great
privileges and it ought to be able to
provide adequate accommoda lions for
the travelling public. Something was
accomplished a couple of years ago by
the council in this matter and il is
worth while trying again.
councilman Thomas added that so
Tar as he is informed the patrons of
the car companies are not COMPLAIN
ing of the lack of heat or the kind Of
cars run, but they object to having to
be so crowded when going to their
work or returning home in the even
ings.
1t is not expected that the council
committee on municipal laws will com
mence Its inquiry into the inefficient
service until next THURSDAY evening.
Orncials of the Consolidated Railway
q Power company state that more. cars
are on the way here from the east
and that when they arrive it will be an
easy matter TO partially remedy the
complaint The destructive fire at one
of the car sheds last fall seriously
