PATRONS ACT FOR
BETTER SERVICE
Claim is Made That Fiagging Of Cross
ing on Third Avenue Line is I'm
necessary-Much Time Lost

Moline patrons of the Third avenue
line are said to have started a move
ment to have the state utilities com.
mission repeal ruling of that body
which requires that all railway cross
ings where street car lines intersect
he Gagged at all times" Claim is
that too much time is lost unnecessar-
lily and it is figured that the schedule
would be cut down seven or eight
minutes by taking this extra work off
the conductors. There are about eight
crossings on the Third avenue line in
Moline alone, and it is estimated that
at least a minute is lost in tagging
each one.
John Huntoon, manager of the Tri-
City Railway company, was out Of the
city today and the rumor could not
be verified
An official Of the company stated,
however. that should the patrons sue

repealed, there would probably be an
amended ruling passed providing for
protection, though with a number of
clauses contained in the present one
