Street Railway Is Taxed.
The street railway company Is
making strenuous efforts to handle
the big fair crowds, hut in many In
stances these efforts have been woe
fully unsuccessful. There is no land
ing platform at the far grounds en-

board the cars before they reach the
main gate. The congestion about o
O'Clock each evening is especially
bad and women and children are
forced to hang on the outside of the
cars In many cases. Twice the num-
her of cars in use on the line would
probably be no more than what is
needed to handle the crowds.
