The "13th and D Street" Car Line.
To tho Fdffcr - Tho ct,r.

To the Editor Of The Star:
1t is a surprise to me to see there are
no complaints made by northeast citizens
In regard to the service on the 18th and
ID streets northeast car line. Their 81
lence In this respect surely cannot be ex-
pressive of their Indignation at the most
wretched service now maintained, and
which has been maintained for quite a
while, on this particular line. 1t is hard
to conceive how the service on any Aue
could be more miserable. unreliable in
fact, worse. than that which has been
only one of many bad features of this
line. There is hardly any time regulation
whatever: sometimes the cars run at in
five. sometimes of half an hour, and
sometimes not at all After long delay
they frequently run two at time, one
to take on the overflow of the preceding
car. Those who use this line know it is
out of the question to rely on the time of
running of the cars. Twenty minutes or
so before o'clock in the morning, when
parties wish to get to their places of en-
ployment on time, 1t is not unusual by
any means for the line to be tied up in
some inexplicable way. causing delay OF
half an hour or so. One morning recently
the writer waited. by his watch, twenty
five minutes for a car.
Another bad feature, causing more or
less ueIdy, Is the breaking IN OF new
conductors and motormen, which, though
a necessity. seems to be confined entirely
to this line. 1t has often been noticed
that conductors formerly of this line were
doing duty on other lines in the city.
All last summer closed cars were used.
There were no open cars at all. Every
one knows how disagreeable 1t is riding in
closed car on a very warm day. The
open cars formerly used on this line dur
ing the heated term were taken Off to be
used on the Mount Pleasant Connecticut
'avenue) line 1t seems those patronizing
the Mount Pleasant line had to have open
cars: any kind Of cars or service would do
for those patronizing the 18th and D
streets car line,
