THIN ICE ON RIVER.
Tugs Able, However, to Clear the
Channel to Navigation.

The below-freezing temperature OF the
past two or three nights covered the
river with a thin skim of ice, but the
tugs and steamers moving about soon
break ii up. and In a few hours the
greater part of il is carried ashore by
the winds and tides, so that it is inter-
fering but little with moving in and out
of port here. The ice is just heavy
enough to cut the calking out of the
seams Of a wooden-hull vessel, and all
such vessels moving about the river have
planks slung over their bows for protec-
ton.
SO far this winter but one vessel has
been damaged, and she was small
power sloop. The ice. however, is causing
vessels that are navigating Chesapeake
bay considerable trouble. The snow that
fell Tuesday and Tuesday night In the
bay has been knit into a solid mass, and
vessels are seeking harbor to keep out
of it,
New ice has formed on the Patapsco
thick enough to cut the hulls of vessels
sailing through 1t, and such vessels are
forced to remain in port until the chan
mel is cleared.
Reports coming from the lower Potomac
state that most of the tributaries of the
river are again covered with small Ice.

Complains of Car Service.

Reports on complaints of inadequate
service on the Brookland and Brightwood
street car lines were made to the District
electric railway commission by Secretary
Eddy at brief session of the commission
yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Eddy expresses
the belief that the service on the Brook
land line is adequate. but that it is made
apparently inadequate by people within
the city limits crowding out of the
through cars those who live beyond and
for whose use they were provided.
The same condition of affairs to some
extent, he says. prevails on the Bright
wood line. although he does not claim
adequacy of service on that line. Several
complaints were received, but action upon
them was deferred until the next meeting
of the commission.
