Declaring that the writer is tired
Of listening to the knocking of per
sons who have automobile appetites
and street car incomes" one comnunI-
cation was read at the meeting of the
commission yesterday which was in de-
Tense of the traction companies.
THE cars are by no means perfect -
ran the letter, but apparently the only
real cause of complaint is that the
vast majority of the people who use
them are either too lazy, too stupid, OF
too selfish to move TO the forward part
OF the car when they first get on, OF
even after the conductor has repeatedly
called TO them TO Move up front
The majority of the letters read con
tanned complaints with respect TO the
longitudinal arrangement of seats
while few went on record as opposing
the arrangement OF being required tC
leave the car by the front entrance.
1t is expected hat Director Eddy's
report on the success with which the
type has met in Washington, as vel
IN other cities, will be made to the
commission at its meeting next week
