PROVES A FAILURE
Attempt to Operate Elm Street
Line with One Less Car
Causes Trouble.
CAN NOT MAKE THE TIME
Passengers Unable to Tell When Car
May Be Expected, and Much Com
plant Is the Result.

The Tri-city Railway company for
the last few days has been making
the experiment of operating the Elm
street line with five cars instead o.
six, as i'll the past, and so far, from
the point of view of the passenge. $
the experiment has proved a dismal
failure. The time can be made al
right when there are few passengers
riding and few stops to make, but dur
ing the busy hours of the day the cars
can not be kept on schedule time. and
one car has lost as much as an hour
in less than half day. The schedule
by night is a most uncertain quantity.
and passengers simply guess when to
expect a car.
Is "a Failure.
1t is likely that the company will
find that it has made mistake in at
tempting to reduce the number of cars
The opinion of patrons is unanimous
on that point already. The cars arc
crowded, they pass at uncertain times
there are long unpleasant waits Il
switches. and the new arrangement,
has had a bad effect OH the DISPOSE
