BETTER SERVICE DEMANDED
Patrons of Connecticut Avenue
Line Contemplate Protest.
Assert Cars Are Too Few and Not
Properly HandIed-NumerOu
TieuPs Recently.

Patrons OF the Georgetown and Mount
Pleasant lines of the Washington Elec-
trio Company are talking seriously Of
holding a public meeting for the pur-
pose Of protesting against the very bad
service furnished them by that concern.
Business men who ride on the Mount
Pleasant cars are responsible for the
most vigorous complaints. Several promi-
nent citizens have undertaken TO agitate
a movement for better service, and eX-
pect 10 be able 10 point 10 tangible results
within a few days.
It is asserted that the number Of cars,
particularly on the Mount Pleasant line
is by no means sufficient to handle the
traffic during the hours when travel is
heaviest. Furthermore. regular patrons
Of the line say that the cars which are
available are not properly handled, and
that there is no apparent reason therefor.
Frequently, two and three cars run within
a few yards Of each other, and in some
cases the motormen decline to stop for
wouId-be passengers. because the cars are
behind the schedule. The number of tie
UPS is abnormaIy large, it is asserted
one man who discussed the matter yes
terday said that while he waited at the
corner Of II and Fourteenth streets for a
Connecticut avenue car Tuesday night.
five outbound Fourteenth street cars
went by.
The citizens who have the movement
for a public protest in hand think that
a better service will be afforded il the
patrons Of the Georgetown and Mount
Pleasant cars give the company TO I'M
derstand plainly that they viii tolerate
present conditions no longer. They ex-
pect to be able to make an announce
ment in the premises soon.
