Complaint has been heard recently
of the irregularity of the North Side

The residents in Shorey, particularly,
are suffering from the least salts
factory car service of any section in

and while not in a position to quote
positive figures they maintain that the
number of workmen who crowd the
car at the busy hours would amply
