PETITION FOR RELIEF.
Regulation Governing Transportation
Over Bridge Works Hardship.

The Commissioners have been asked by
citizens Of Anacostia and Congress Heights,
respectively, and vicinity, to amend the po-
lice regulations regarding the transporta-
ton Of passengers on trolley cars across the
Anacostia bridge. Much inconvenience is
caused, they contend, because the regula-
lions provide that only forty persons can
be carried over the bridge by cars of the
single-truck type and only fifty persons on
cars of the double-truck type and at any
hour of the day, especially during the
rush" hours, these cars crowded when
they reach each side Of the bridge, and be-
fore the structure is crossed it is necessary
passengers have to get off before the car
can proceed The persons who are put off
the cars in this manner are forced to wait
until they can board a car which is not
crowded
A delegation called on Commissioner West
today in this connection and after making
their protest asked for relief. Commissioner
West agreed with them that the transporta-
ton facilities not of the best and that
he could see the need of some improve
ment, but at the present he was unable to
offer any solution other than requesting the
traction company to put additional cars on
that line.
The members Of the delegation informed
the Commissioner that they had made this
the traction company in question, who In
formed them that his company has no ex-
ira cars to put there.
Commissioner West informed his visitors
that he does not favor amending the regu-
lation, but the Commissioners will gladly
consider any plan to improve in the future
the condition complained of.

against railway officials bitter and growing.
Hope commission will act promptly"
Mr.. Mackey told Star reporter that he
hoped for good results from the message
In the near future Since the accident
occurred. he said. he had counted eighty
capacity for thirtyfive. Only a few days
before the accident occurred. he stated,
Mr.. B. NJ. Davidson was a passenger on
one OF the cars when a similar accident
was narrowly averted. He was told that
crew had been relieved from duty a few
days ago for alleged failure to notify the
crew Of another car that the road was
not clear.
Sympathy he said. lis with the dis
charged crew-Wiliam Morgan and Robert
Crack-and the people of the county are
making an effort to get them employment.
They blame the officials of the road and
the management for the accident. 1t is
simply a question Of the company trying
to run three systems Of railroadng on a
telephone or telegraph instruments. and
officials and employees are never able to
tell of the whereabouts of a car
Mr.. Mackey complained that unusually
long delays are experienced by patrons of
the road, the cars sometimes being more
than one hour late in starting from the end
of the line. Then, he said. the cars are de-
layed at Clarendon to await the arrival of
cars over the. line running to the Mount
Vernon station. The car on the latter
branch, he explained, are subject to a great
many delays. They have to contend with
the draw bridge he said, and they have to
give the Mount Vernon, Alexandria and
Luna Park cars the right of way. He de-
clared that the service that is being given
Of property and prevents the making of
improvements.

NEW RECORD ESTABLISHED.
Weeks Fines in Police Court Reach
Total Of S4,e72.53.

The business in the Police Court for the
current week ending today has been the
heaviest in the history Of the court from
a financial point Of view. In the one week.
1t was announced this afternoon, S4,872.5S
has been collected in fines and collateral
Previous to this week the record has been
approxima tely $500.
The total was increased largely today by
the payment of the fine Of $500 by the
PENNSYLVANIA Bridge Company for viola
ton of the eight-hour law. Outside of that,
however the total in fines collected would
have been about the same as the largest
previous week.
This large amount Of money collected Is
taken to indicate, not so much the increase
of criminality and crime in the District,
as the prosperous conditions which exist
here When there are hard times the per-
sons arrested are locked up and cannot pay
their fines. Therefore, the financial books
uf the court do not show large weekly
totals.
Much Of the $4,s72 collected this week,
according to Financial Clerk Sebring, has
been made up OF s. and $40 fines and col
