TROLLEY SERVICE fails
AGAIN ON COLD DAY

Three times yesterday the electric
current failed the cars Of the VIII
mington and Philadelphia Traction
Company. forcing patrons Of the cars
10 walk to their destinations. The cars
We're first tied up for about half an
hour about o'clock yesterday morn
ing at the time when hundreds Of per-
sons are on their way to work, caus-
ing them to take to the streets to get
to their places Of employment Again
IN the afternoon and last night trouble
occurr ID.
The officials Of the Traction Company
give as the cause for the falling cur
rent In the morning the choking up
OF the feed pipes by ice in the Brandy
wine.
Electrically lighted houses OF the city
and streets were thrown into darkness
for a short period last night when The
current again failed. Il was a forced
"lightless night"
The company has explained 20 the
Public Utilities Commission that IL has
taken on so much additional work that
It's plant Is overtoXed This, together
with the shortage Of help-eighty-fou
men being off duty one day last week
and bad coal are contributing factors
to what has been an annoyance TO the
travelling public. Another contributing
factor is the inadequacy Of the present
boilers. For months the company has
been endeavOring 20 overcome this
difficulty. but, it explains, shortage Of
labor, delayed deliveries, etc, have
made 1t impossible TO make any better
headway. With good weather the ad-
ditional boilers, now being installed.
Will the company believes, be ready
FOR use in four weeks, which will in
crease the capacity 30 per cent. The
machinery, 1t is stated, is adequate. and
all that is needed is the additional
boilers. new stack is being built.
brt the weather has held It back seri-
ously.
