WOULD NOT TAKE
CAR DOWN HILL
Motorman Declines to Go Further
When He Finds That Sanding Box
is Out of Commission.

The remarkable weather of the last
few days. following the cold snap of Il
week or 50 ago. has been the source
of much trouble for the men who run
the Tri-city Railway companys cars.
and particularly the motormen on the
hill lines, the Long View and Elm
street lines. The higher temperature.
following freeze. causes the rail to
sweat" and il becomes coated with
4 greasy moisture. This paste on the
track makes it almost impossible to
stop the cars without using sand to
dry the rails. and it is difficult to take
the cars down the steep hihs.
The rails Saturday, night were I'M
usally bad. and every car that went
over the Elm street hill left a track
OF sand On the rail. But when one of
the notormen. about o'clocI:,
reached the top of the hill. he found
that tRe apparatus for sanding the
track was out of order Rather than
attempt to take the ear down without
sand, he stopped where he was. AMI
so far as that car was concerned
traffic was at Il standstill 1t was
some 20 minutes before another car
appeared, and the trouble was eX
planned. The attitude OF the company
officials in view of such action is not
known. Some of the trainmen oper
ating the hill cars maintain that the mo-
torman used good judgment in not al
tempting to take the car down the
grade. while others laugh at his eau
ton. and claim that il would have
been no great trick. even with so bad
a rail and with the sanding box out OF
commission. TO take loaded can
down the hill. when the rail had been
sanded all day and all evening.
a transfer stub which had in some
way fallen into the box and plugged
the opening caused the trouble witt
| the sand box. but it was some time
before the cause of the difficulty was
discovered.
