 T would like to offer a suggestion | to MT. Ragland. where he can prevent some of the criticism that he alleges | is fired at his company. if you ever on a Washington Park car you will often find that you are obliged to wait several minutes some time, without any apparent reason. just before the car reaches South Court Street on Church. could never understand this until questioned one of the motor men Q few night ago.

 T was told by the motormau, of whom I inquired, that the only req son he remAned on Church Street was 70 Ter the man going %out know that ne nao come In from the single track on Holcomb.. It suggested itself to me tnat 1T MT. Ragland would install some signal by which the outgoing car could know that the incoming car had coros off the single track that at IAasS s forthcoming.
