WANTS FAIR TRIAL
Mayor Issues Statement Defending the

ping OF street Cars.

In expressing \ desire that the now
Law requiring street cars entering or
leaving Broad or Main Streets to stop
In tho cross-streets be given a fair
trial. Mayor George Ainslie yesterday
issued the following statement:
Il sincerely hope that the City Coun-
Gil will allow fair trial OF the now
ordinance regulating the stopping OF
street CARE of diverBinE lines at points
OF entry and divergence on Broad and
Main Streets before deciding that II
is too bad to live. Ever since the
South Side and tho North Side cars
have been operated In the various loops
between First and Ninth Streets there
have been criticism. complaints and
abuse galore because OF the conges-
uon. Every ono has seen cars block
ed for ono and two squares in rusA.
Every one has fumed and fretted
over the delay each car moved for
ward ono length at & time. because
all had TO take on and discharge pas
senEers at the same point Everybody
fumed and fretted. but nobody sug-
sested remedy Now. I have sug-
gested one which. to my own mind
and in the opinion Of the operators Of
the street railways, bids fair to re-
duce the congestion very largely. Every
complaint SO far mSle against the
working of the new Law was antici-
pated. and remedies have been found
which are being applied as fast as
may be done. what we are seeking is
relief for tho big majority, even ~
We have to Inconvenience few All
