Improyed car Service.

 We must have hauled 1000 or 5000 persons to Electric Park and Pickett Springs Sunday" said Traction Com pany official yesterdsy and I was route worked It is really pleasure to know that the people were satisfied The company had twelve cars on the Electric Park line and they ran at s-ich l intervals IS to give the most efficient service. We noticed a great improve ment especially because we did not 1 havc tn run any more double or triple l he iders. We more evenly distributed l the loads and made it easier for all 1 cars to climb Etlls With this new l system there is no such th!pg as car getting 'stllled gt ing up hill. There was a funny feature to the I first use of the loop Sunday. Numbers | of our conductors late that night, in | handing in returns, said they could not vouch for the time of transfers. They 1 were more leniept because many peo- i pie who held transfers thought cars were still running the sanle old way to the park, and some of them waited long time on Dexter Avenue before | being ineorned that the loop was in | use. & a
 "rhere seems to be considerable in | terest as to what we are going to do with our Ludie Street line when the Mobile Street track is taken up. Those cars will continue to go up Montgomery | Street, but at Five Points will turn | into GoIdthwat Street follow the Belt | | Amanda Street. finally running on Stone | Street and connecting with the present | track on Ludie Street. We expect to taks up the Mobile Street track short | ly." L..- 2,
