Complaints about the car service on
the Eleventh street line occupied the at
tention of the District railway commits
sion at It's meeting yesterday afternoon.
A. b. Foster and others were the COM
plainants
H C. Eddy, executive officer OF the
commission. had a chart observation Of
the Eleventh street line service ready for
the commissioners after the reading OF
the complaints. The chart showed that
the cars run on anything but schedule
time, and standing room is at premium
during the rush hours
The cars running over this line, ac-
cording to the chart. vary in capacity
from fifty to thirty-six seated pas
sengers.
Schedules Are Responsible.
The commission is OF the opinion that
the failure OF the street car companies
TO maintain their schedules Is the cause
of many inconvenience.
In figuring up the number Of passen-
gers using the Eleventh street line and
the number OF cars carrying them it was
found that an average OF ten persons 10
each car were without seats.
Another complaint was received from a
resident Of Anaeastia. wherein a strong
protest was made against men standing
on the platforms OF closed cars and
greatly inconveniencing the entrance and
exit of women and children. The COM
mission will investigate the matter
Besides these complaints. numerous
others were received setting forth the
bad condition OF the brakes and the
large number OF fiat wheels on the
cars of the Capital Traction Company.
