all of the large cities of the country.

struction to the committee was:
The people are the ones to be salts
fed. See to it that they may be served
with a minimum of delay and inconven-
fence and a maximum of efficiency and
comfort"
With that admonition in mind, the
committee has labored assiduously. The
