SUGGESTIONS
ABOUT CARS
WRITER BELIEVES THERE SHOULD
BE SEVERAL MORE STREET
CARS PUT INTO OPERATION.
Gives His Opinion as to Where, When
and How They Should Be Run
This Summer.

Editor of Telegram: Permit me to
make few suggestions in Regard to our
street car system, which ! think would
benefit the public to large degree.
One question We viii all agree upon
Is that the number of cars running is
entirely inadequate for this city.
In few more weeks the park will be
open and great numbers of people will
want to 20 out during the evening, aud
especially win this be true OF Sundays,
The question now arises, can the street
car company do it with one or two caN'
Ny suggestion is that during the even.
ing and on Sunday it will take every
one OF eight cars to do the work. l
would place the three summer cars on
the Adamston run and around the loop
one to the depot and four closed, or win.
ter cars on the park line and around
the inner loop. The closed cars should
be used on the park line because it would
do away with the necessity of having
to change seats twice in the space OF
four or five minutes, once at the park
and again at the junction of the main
line. This feature OF the ride to the
park is decided nuisance, especially
on a crowded car. Those who have made
the trip will agree with me on this.
Again. ] don't think all cars should
run by way of the park. for in that case
a person taking a car for the East End
must pay two fares. one out and one
back, from the park inasmuch as the
street car company received their fran.
ehise from the city free, it is no more
than right that they should give US the
lest service at their command.
