II your board does decide TO order
the elimination OF certain stops, we deem
it altogether wise that the traction COM
pany erect signs 81 the corners where
stops are not made, such signs stating
plainly what cars do not make the stop
and where the next stop IS made.
We would also suggest that your board
, investigate the feasibility Of shortening
hours when street lights burn. The
committee is not prepared TO make q
definite recommendation IN this direction,
but It has occurred to us that perhaps the
street lights could be turned on a little
later in the afternoon and turned out
earlier in the morning without causing
inconvenience.
Thanking you for your kind considera-
ton, We are
Very truly yours.

Following the reading Of this state.
ment MIR. Bird said that the saving o.
current for city shipyards was the essen.
| tial thing at this time, and while the
abolishment of certain street car stop;
| might be inconvenient TO citizens, suci
a plan was not unusual, as other cite:
were following il. It was explained tina
| the stopping of car and the starting VI
again required three times as much cur
/
personal inconvenience must be loOkes
upon as q personal sacrifice. This war
he added, must be won by America.
MIR. killen stated that the government
had had an expert investigate local con
ditions, and while he, Mr.. killen. was no
at liberty TO say what, he had reported
among the things he did find out wa
that the boiler capacity at the Traction
company plant was Inadequate. Th
government official, he added. had init
mated that unless something was done Z
conserve current for the bene4t Of u
shipyards, it would be necessary TO hav
the traction company refuse TO flrnls
current 70 those plants deemed non
essentials.
The motion TO adopt the plan of th
Chamber of Commerce was placed befor
the commissioners and adopted unani
mously.
