ASK TRIPPER ON
LONG VIEW Line
Patrons and Would be Patrons
Again Register Protest
Against Evening Service.

Patrons of the Long View car line
are again agitating for better service
during the rush hours, especially in
the evening. If it is not feasible to
use larger cars they urge that trip
pers be again placed in the service
making a short run from 3 % $50 in
the evening, when the regular cars
are jammed almost to the point of
suffocation. During the winter season
and especially when the weather is
bad, people who ordinarily walk to
and from their homes prefer to ride
if the service is reasonably good. The
result is that all pile into the cars
who can and the crowd is so dense
that toes are trodden upon, clothing
disarranged and tempers ruffled, while
those first leaving the cars have to
fight to gain the platform and often
are carried past their destinations.
Obviously. under such conditions many
walk who would otherwise ride.
The appearance of a brightly paint
ed car on the line the first of the
year led to the impression with some
that the company had started to
equip the line with new rolling stock,
but it turned out that the car was
merely one of the old ones repainted
to match the new equipment. However,
