Reducing Strcet.Car Delays

IT HAT is Il wise change in the ira fic law
l which goes into effect to-day, under
which trolley cars. when entering or leaving
Broad or Main Street. will receive and dis
charge passengers only on the cross street,
just before entering just after leaving
Main or Broad. The plan which is replaced
has caused congcstions and delays which have
added seriously TO the problems Of rush-hour
transportat ton.
Particularly at Main and Ninth, Main and
Eighth, Broad and Seventh and Broad and
First have these delays occurred. Long
strings OF cars have waited while cars enter
ing or leaving Main or Broad have taken on
or discharged their loads. The change should
reduce materially the average time consumed
in the busy periods OF morning and afternoon,
in making tho journey between the center OF
the city and the residence districts.
