greater promptitude, cXactncss and
dispatch.

All of the above conditions ouI
street Indicator has met. and all tn,
above problems and difficulties ouI

convenience it would be to have a
Street Indicator in every street car
one that would register the street
one block ahead, also show the block
number of the next street to come
