Letters From The People
UNGRoovED RAILS USED

Editor Call: The city ordinances re-
quire all repIacements of rails of street
railroads to be grooved rails. where
the replacement amounts to more than
a block.
Since January /, 1910, rails, not
grooved, have been laid in Sacramento
street, west of East street, to the total
of several blocks. At some recent pre-
vious time ungrooved rails were used
as repair in parts of each block in
question, and that repair, with what
has been done since January 1, 1910,
makes almost an entire new set OF
rails which will last for many years.
and yet at no time has the United
Railroads made any rail repair that
amounted to any one entire block.
Now the rails in Clay street west
from East street for several blocks. are
in such "a deplorable condition that new
rails must be laid before long. and
unless the public prevents it, an un-
grooved rail will be laid
The California street line has recent
ly relaid its entire line with grooved
rails, and the United Railroads should
be compelled to use that rail
