Editor Richmond Virginian:
slr,-We note what the gentleman said in
your paper regarding the crowded cars He
asks the question why Is there not an ordi-
nance requiring street car companies to dis
play signs that cars are fun" Now from the
etst of his lotter, should Judge the car 1nen-
toned was an open car: If such was the case
anyone with eyesight could when the car
was full 1 might also state that these signs
do not help the travelling public Why not
have an ordinance, If there be such. have
it enforced, compelling the companies to
put Into service enough cars 10 accommodate

by what authority signs are displayed car

that any one holding q street car ticket has a

there is another injustice imposed upon the
public that Is, the method Of collecting the
