CareIessness In Car Signs.

The public would be better served
if less carelessness were exhibited in
the matter Of the signs designating
the various local routes of the cars
of the Tri-City Railway company. At
present two different colors are used
on the Watch Tower line, and three
different cOlors on the LOngview loop.
And while on the Elm street branch
the signs are all the same color, it
would be difficult to conceive of a
worse conglomeration of misfits as TO
design i'm the style of lettering mixed
up and thrown together in any old
way.
For company that takes pains
in the matter of general equipment
the little detail of system and neat
ness in the way of designating sig
mails ought not to he Il difficult one to
successfully handle.
