The highest position any subject can

Open Cars to Relieve Congestion.
10 the Editor Of The Star

To the Editor Of The Star:
II the local street railway companies
were compelled to put in service the
hundreds Of open or summer cars dur
ing this extraordinary stress, it would
go a long way toward relieving the
bad conditions that the public is endur-
ing on account Of the inadequate .serv-
ice now provided. Their excuse of not
having men to operate the cars is a
poor one; there are hundreds of skilled
men in other localities ready to come
here II given an opportunity and liv-
ing wage.
Thousands of people who now either
walk to their places of employment OF
crowd into the already over sufocat-
ingly damned cars would be glad to
patronize the open vehicles in prefer
ence. There would be no more ex-
posture to weather conditions than is
experienced in riding in automobiles.

That the citizens Of the District are
entitled to right Of suffrage was the
unanimous expression Of the Randle
Highlands Citizens Association at its
meeting last night. The matter was
presented by s. E. Snyder, who said
for years he had been in favor Of SUI

tunity. but now it seems sufficient
weight is being brought to bear to
bring 1t about r. F. Bradbury also
spoke in Its favor.
One Of the most important steps to-
ward a reduction in the high cost Of
living would be municipal ownership
Of the markets. according to Mr.. Sny-
der. who urged the association to rec
ommend the move without delay.
r. F. Bradbury also favored the idea.
DR.. B. T. Woodward, however. said the
association should wait until the food
administration had an opportunity to
work out its problems. He paid high
tribute to the work already done.
Mr.. Snyder agreed to the postpone
ment of the matter, but announced his
intention to urge action again at the

ing from a stay of some several days
at the home of their friend, Lee Wal
ker, near Perdido, and hoth were en-
thusiastic over fishing in this section.
To add to their individually-ma lau-
rels as expert anglers, they hooked
and landed three out of seven tarpon,
and thought this was a feat which
their friends ought to know. They
talked about it with pardonable pride
TO Journal man last night, previous
to leaving for their homes in the adj
joining state.
Mr. O'Neal, who stated that he had
fished at about every point of note In
the country, confessed last night that
Pensacola waters held the palm for
good fishing" and in this opinion he
was ably seconded by his enthusiastic
angler friend, Mr.. Leper. The latter
stated that he found fishing here all
that could be wished, and was espe-
cially delighted they had the fortune
to catch more than one tarpon before
returning to their homes.
