Would Give Policemen Passes.

Of course, think the company's action decidedly proper and just. but still I can not see why the policemen of the city are not given tickets at theS same rate.
 First of all. I think that the Legis- lature never intended that the Traction under the common carrier law. Second, if they did intend it, they scarcely meant that contract must pliance; third. they never meant that compelled to pay their fares.
 I generally look to the the reasonable, ca par pass. being employed in an official ca pacity where passes are always be- slowed. They withdrew, the pass from kicked in the least on my lot. They had a very good right to do so. and, according to the company's interpreta- tion of the law, | should have been the first man to be compelled to yield the concession made to me.
 "In spite of this, however, l think that 1t ts decidedly against the interest the city walk out to the suburbs to make an arrest, when by riding on the car they could IaclIllate tHeT movements three-fold. That, il. seems to me. is a point that should be set tied first shot. and 1 certainly hope that the company will violate the law in this respect if in no other
