the judiciary committee, Monday
morning, that he had ample authori-
ty under the existing ordinance regu-
lating the heating OF cars TO proceed
against the company and was told
TO go as far as he likes.
II can get the evidence in two
hours" he said.
In the meantime, Assistant Corpor-
alton Counsel Thomas Penniman was
drawing up complaint ON evidence
that he personally secured on the
way to his Office. Monday morning.
The Jefferson car in which he was q
passenger was unusually cold and the
passengers were all complaining. In
leaving The car. Penniman stepped
into the front vestibule and took
look at the heating apparatus. He
found only burned Goals and ashes In
the fire pot There was not so much
as spark of fire visible.
The motorman of the car made no
effort TO resist the intrusion. His
own teeth were chattering with the
cold as he informed Pcnnlman that
the car had been sent out from the
barns in that condition. PenHiman
could not have obtained clearer
case against the company; there was
no need TO bubble over the degrees
of heat, for there was no heat. The
ordinance provides that the cars shall
/ be heated TO "A temperature Of not less
than IS degrees Mr.. Penniman will
enter his complaint in the recorders
court Tuesday morning and the case
will come up on the regular docket
next Monday
Citizens having complaints against
the company for cold cars or for any
other violations of the ordinances
should lay their information before
the corporation counsel. To make
case il is necessary to have the num-
-, Der of the car and, in some cases, the
numbers of the conductor and motor
man, and at least one witness.
The trouble is that most people
simply express their feelings against
the company in as forcible language
as the proprieties will permit and let
il go at that" said Mr.. Penniman. If,
