Adoption of Double Decked Street
Car Is Problematical.

Whether the new double-decked street
car purchased by the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company is to become
a permanent addition to the company's
Transportation facilities will rest to a
large degree with the public utilities COM
mission.
Under the utilities law no car may be
put into service until its design has been
submitted to and approved by the COM
mission. Ta G. Eddy, engineer of the
board Yesterday inspected the new car
at the company's barns and will make a
report to the public service commission

solve the rush hour problem. which
has become serious one here, 1T Is be-
lieved to be probable that the company
will be permitted to give it thorough
trial.
While declining to discuss what recon-
mendations he may make, Mr.. Eddy
said Yesterday that the height of the car
would prevent its operation over lines
passing under via6uct bridges The
ceiling of the lower floor will be lower
than that of the ordinary car, but the
total height is greater by three feet. Adj

Henry S. Curtis. in bulletin just issued

the usual city block Of two or three acres
or one of ten acres. as in Salt Lake city.

ten acres, he asserts. As for the country

THE POSTAL SERVICE
X.-A Postal Telegraph.
By Frederic ]. Haskin.

II is rot improbable that before many
years the government will decide that
the telegraph business is as much field
for government activities as the business
of carrying letters and printed matter.
Asa matter OF fact. most of the Post
masters General OF the past thirty years
or more have come out decidedly IN Ia
vor of a postal telegraph, and those who
favor it urge that now more than ever
before is it advisable for the government
To operate a telegraph system, ASSERTING
that il will give new value 10 the parcel

communication To all the people. Inc
advocates of a government telegraph see
the day when a man may telegraph

hve-cent stamp. so that city man may
order his market basket filled according
to specifications by his country correspond
ent a hundred miles away and shipped
in to the city in time for dinner by special

case of the telegraph. When it was pro-
posed to build the line between Washing
ton and Baltimore, appropriating $4,000
therefor. one wise legislator offered an
amendment providing that half of the
amount should be devoted to experiments
in mesmerism. thinking thus to laugh the
whole proposition out of court. But his
name now is forgotten while that of
Morse will live forever.
Numerous objections have been urged
from time TO time to the establishment of
postal telegraph. 1t has been pointed
out that the express and telegraph COM
panies continued to operate in the south
long after the postal service closed down
after the outbreak of the civil war. that

could not transmit messages as efficiently
or as promptly private enterprises,

ny congress. Seven times House
committees have done likewise. President
Grant strongly favored it, and another
proposition was brought forward by
Gardiner Green Hubbard, in the nature OF
a substitute providing that the govern
ment should have charge of the handling
of messages, paying the telegraph COM
ma MES for the use of their lines. just as
the railroads are paid for carrying the
mails. Still later, Postmaster General
Wanamaker advocated modification OF
the Hubbard idea When William L..
Wilson became Postmaster General ne OPP

the last Postmaster General to advocate
it.

about as a result Of 4 law passed in 1866
by Congress, in which il was set forth
that the telegraph companies could nave
