General Harries' words were in answer

it was the intention OF his company to
vestfbuie the fronts of cars on lines
which are not already equipped with
closed cars.
Will Do No Patching.
No" said that official. "We do not
intend to do any thing of the kind we
shall not do an patching at an four
or FIVE years ago. before the present
agita ton for yestibuied cars was
thought of, we began to operate closed
as we decided upon a standard car we
have gradually been purchasing Yestlpui-
ed cars. We now operate cars OF thischar-
acter on ali OF our suburban lines. You
will find them on the Maryland line
on the Brookiand line. the Rockville
line. and all our other suburban lines
Then we put our big new standard car
on the Mt Pleasant line. and now we
have them on the Columbia, or h
street, line.

rext ones which we will replace with
vestibuled equipment. Then we viii eX-
tend them TO the East Capitol and Ninth
street lines. and all our other systems

Poor Buiness Policy.
at will be poor business policy for
this company to patch up old cars and
nut inadequate protection on the fronts
when 1t is our intention tG gradually get
rid OF all our present equipment and put
on new cars
t'Therefore / say our lines will not be
eouinped with vestibuled cars by next
winter, but perhaps by the following
winter. and certainly by the winter of

out with the same kind of cars which
are now operated between the Capitol
