BOARD OF WORKS HEARS
CAR SERVICE COMPLAINTS.
Inspector Urges improvements
Tried in Other Cities,

The Board Of Works at its meeting
yesterday heard complaints against the
Public Service Corporation, and re-
ferred them TO Inspector Crawford.
Some of the complaints referred to the
infrequency with which cars run on
certain lines, inc also to the subject
of transfers. Alderman Seeker asked
that transfers be nude good fer twen-
ty-four hours. and declared that ms
fers are no longer issued from Plank
road to Springfield cars.
Inspector Crawford said he had in
vestigated many of the complaints, and
had found there was a shortage of ears
and that the blocking of Bank street
mad caused much of the congestion.
Mr. Crawford also submitted an In
teresting report of his attendance at
the recent trolley convention. He told
how in Chicago and other Western
cities destination signs are placed in
the centre of cars, about q foet above
the heads of passengers when seated
and facing outwards. He thought the
plan hould be adopted in Newark.
In Cleveland" reads the report, cit
Is a violation of a city ordinance for
trucks to interfere with the running
OF cars, and during a ride of one hour
your inspector failed to see at any
time a truck on the tracks. This order
is strictly enforced. In conversation
with one Cleveland official assurance
was given that the three-cent fares of
Cleveland would be abolished, and the
public would be given twelve tickets
for fifty cents. with transfers."
Inspector Crawford also told of be-
ing ~favorably impressed throughout the
West with the politeness of car crews.
He spoke especially of Denver, where
the crews are PLACED on merit, and a
conduct and intelligence percentage is
kept and published monthly. In Den
yer, the conductor deducts his own and
the motorinan's salary each day before
turning in the receipts.
