Demands Wider Trolley Car Gates.
To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
The proposition recently accepted by
the Board OF Works and representatives
of the Public Service Railway Com
pany, to make the gates on the "Have-
Your-Fare-Ready, Please" cars, made
wider, is IN that appeals to all who
have occasion to ride on the various
trolley lines in the city and vicinity. At
present, the gates are much too small
and much trouble has been experienced
by stout people in getting OF and off
the cars. The new agreement calls for
the entrance and exit gates to be thir-
ty inches wide, and this space will
readily admit persons of any but ex-
traordinary size. Altogether, it is most
decidedly a move in the right direction,
and one for which the trolley-riding
public should be grateful.

There is something remarkable in the
sudden revival of interest at Trenton
in the Lee bill for trolley extensions
after it was so d%ecisively beaten in the
Assembly. The bill was believed TO be
dead, but here it is galvanized into life
again, and in shape to be passed if the
Assembly is so minded.

In twenty years experience he had
not met with an Instance IN which
rates had been changed to affect in

doubted n there were dozen traffic

THE
RECALL BLANKS

Recall blanks will be in the
hands of Clerk Cushman at the
city hall as soon as the printers
can get them out.
The city council this morning
by resolution introduced by May
or Fawcett instructed the clerk to
prepare the blanks and keep
them on hand. They will be pre-
pared at once and citizens will be
able to get them at leafs by the
first of next week.
1t is expected the movement for
the recall of Commissioners Roys
will now rapidly take shape. Ev-
cry day citizens at the city hall
declare the purpose of the people
to eliminate him from the city
service for his failure to observe
his oath of office and his general
tendency to train with corpora
tions against the people.
1t will require 5000 petitioners
to the recall petitions to force a
recall election, but those in the
movement say the names can be
secured in less than week after
the petitions are out.

Pope's sentence was made as
light as possible because of the
fact that he had great provocation
and because he voluntarily sur
rendered when 1t would have been
very difficult for the government
to have captured him.
