LEFT DOOR OF
STREET CARS
TO Be CLOSED
LOCAL MANAGEMENT MAKES
NEW RULE WHICH WILL UN.
DOUBTEDLY ADD TO THE
SAFETY OF STREET CAR PAT
RONS.

The Portland Railway, Light &
Power company, in an effort to i'm
prove the street car service in Salem,
has recently established the practice
of keeping the left-hand vestibule
doors and gates of the street cars
closed.
Whereas on a double track system
this practice is an absolute necessi-
ty to prevent people from stepping
off of one car Immediately in front
of another, it Is thought by the local
management that it will be very de-
sirable to follow the practice here in
Salem.
A good many of the patrons, who
have not given the matter thought,
may not appreciate the advantages of
this arrangement, therefore, we wish
to explain why it is considered ad-
vlsable:
In the first place, by closing the
left-hand door of each vestibule, a
draft across tie platform is prevent
ed, which will be source of consid-
erabl comfort to the street car men,
particularly during the cold winter
weather.
The liability of a car being start
ed when some one is just getting on
will be reduced, as each car man will
only have one set of steps to watch
instead of two. AS it is impossible
for man to see in both directions
at one time many accidents have
been caused by a car being started
when some one was getting on, be-
cause when the motorman, for in
stance, watches one set of steps until
