Traction Company Takes Off Four Cars as Result
 Council Action.
THINK FRANCHISE
 MAY BE INVOLVED
Some Members of Council, Opposed to Repeal of Ordinance Requiring TW0.Men Crews. Believe City
 Would Not Be Protected.

Cnly eight street cars will be oper- ated today by the Pine Bluff com pany, instead of the twelve that have been in operation the past eight months, and each of the cars today will be in charge of motorman and conductor. the company resuming the two-man crew system as a result of the action of the city council, at it's meeting Monday night, in refusing to repeal an old ordinance which de- mands that two-men crews be used.
 In statement printed elsewhere in The Graphic today, the company makes formal announcement of it's
 inability to operate twelve cars on the ten-minute schedule, with two men crews, without sustaining heavy financial loss. The company an nounces also that it will operate eight cars. with twelve minute schedule on the Cemetery line and the East Second-West Sixth line, and a if teen-minute schedule on the West SeccndEast Sixth line.
 The action of the council in refus- ing to repeal the old ordinance which demands the use of two-men crews. has been the subject of much comment since the council meeting Monday night, That the company would reduce the number of cars in operation, and would lengthen it's schedules, was generally expected to follow the action of the council.
 Think Franchise Involved.
 It is generally expected also that there will be dissatisfaction over the slower schedules, due to the smaller number of cars operated, but whe- ther this will lead to further action by the council, cannot be forecasted There are members of the council who appear to believe that the coun- cil acted properly in not repeating an ordinance which is virtually a part of the franchise under which the com pany operates, passing the statement upon the belief that if the company should be relieved forever of the ne- cessity of using two-men crews, the actual value of its franchise will be immediately increased. and will be still more greatly increased in fu- tufe years, as Lne ClIy grows ana more cars are operated, always with one-man crews.
 In some quarters, the opinion pre- vails that while the council is hard ly likely thus to relieve the company of what is tantamount to a franchise requirement., it may be prevailed up- on in the near future to again order the suspension, for specified perio1, of the operation of the ordinance in question, extending this suspension period from time to time, as necessi- ty requires. At the meeting Monday night, however, no request for such further suspension of the ordinance was before the council, and none of the members of the council proposed that such action be taken.

there is likely to be some hustling to
get out the voters.
If any voter wishes to cast his ballot
before going to the shop or office or 9th
er place Of employment he will have
ample opportunity to do so, as the polls
will open in Festival hall at clock
III the morning.
The Australian ballot system will be
used, and voters whose names begin
with the letters from A to L will mark
their ballots in booths on the south side
of the hall, all others voting on the
north side.
Every voter, as he enters through the
gate, will be given seven blank ballots
for president, United States senator,
member of congress, governor and other
state officers, Windham county officers,
town representative, and justices of the
peace.
Each ballot is supposed to be account
ed for, so that none may be left in the
booths or carried away from the polling
! place. If a voter spoils ballot in
marking he may procure another. and
if he spo1ls the second he may have a
third, but no more.
| The ballot box for town representa-
tive will be turned at 3 clock and if
any candidate has a majority he will
| be declared elected. If no one has a
majority a second ballot will be taken
and if. no one then has maiorityt a
third ballot will be taken. On the
third ballot, however, the plurality will
elect, that is, the one having the most
votes.
| All ballot boxes except the one for
town representative will remain open
until 5 clock.
