Last, but not least, of the folks
who expressed their feeling over the
Madison car service was a Mrs. A. D.
Davis Of 120 N. Austin av. She was
found sitting in a car three blocks
from her home street, with a baby in
her arms. The mOtOrman and con-

heavy. I have been on this car for
25 minutes since it arrived within six
blocks of my street, which is the end
of the line. We have just pOked along
in a jam Of other cars. Is this what
we pay cents for?"
The suggestion that is made by
Austinites for betterment in this

When folks get on a car marked
Madison-SpringfieId, they know that
Springfield is as far as that car will
take them. Practically all of the cars
that run out to Austin are close to

At the same time it would not be

Incidentally, this sort Of service is
true of a great many section of town.
Passengers would greatly appreciate
more cooperation from the car COM

Madison-AUstin cars used to be
