Skip-Stop Changes.

Misadjustments in the skip-stop sys-
tenn are coming to light, and changes
are being suggested that will doubtless
be taken into consideration. Some Of
the stops are undoubtedly badly chosen,
without reference to the weight of the
traffic, but in following certain ap-
pro1imate rule of thumb. Then again
there are stops where under a full ap-
plication Of the distince rule a stop
should have been skipped All these
matters have to be considered in the
light Of experience. But there should be
as few changes as possible, and those
only to correct obvious mistakes. The
system should be brought quickly to
the basis of permanence. so that there
will be no more uncertainty after the
public has become acquainted with the
stopping places. Meanwhile, every eff
fort should be made by the Public
Utilities Commission to add to the
rolling stock in service daily and to
increase the efficiency of the cars by
insisting upon higher standard of
equipment and greater reliability of
operation.

Two-Platoon Bill Passes.

Passage by the House yesterday Of

men clears the way for the provision in
the appropriation bill which, it is under
stood, will cover this new plan There
is no objection to the change in the fire
department organization. 1t will add
materially to the efficiency of the de-
pa-tment and thereby assure better pro-
lection for the District, including the
governments large and increasing equip
ment. 1t will remove one of the obsta-
cles to the maintenance of stable per-
sonnet. 1t will be an act of justice to
the men who fill the ranks of this de-
partment. Concurrence by the Senate
in the two platoon bill is to be expected,
and meanwhile the appropriation bill
should carry the necessary provisions
for putting the new system into effect.
