Better Street Car Services.
A committee from the Commercial
club has had a conference with Vice
President Goodrich, of the Twin City
Rapid Transit company, relative to the
service furnished st. Paul patrons at
the fair grounds. The committee called
the attention of Mr. Goodrich to the
fact that last year two cars were fur
nished Minneapolitans from the fair
grounds to one which was furnished to
those desiring to reach st. Paul.
Vice President Goodrich informed
the committee that the service to and
from the fair grounds would be great
improvement over that furnished last
year, and that at the close of the even
ing performances an the cars at the
grounds would ne thHown open so that
they can be flied rapidly.
1t has been the custom of the com-
pany in the past to keep about twenty
cars standing on the tracks, but allow
passengers to get on: only two cars at
time. This made the jam something
terrible.
The new plan will be appreciated by
patrons If the statements made are
carried out.
