.skip-stops and Lost Time.

To the Editor Of The Star:
In your editorial Tuesday concerning
"skip-stops." you ask:
will the loss Of time incident to the
loading and unloading processes due
to this greater inflow at each stop
consume the time gained in cutting
out stops?"
Unless certain evils are abated. 1t is
believed that the "skip-stop" system
will prove to be time killer rather
than a time saver. It requires no i'm
that the railway companies are using
many hours daily of the public's time
in their present method Of issuing
transfers. Instead of the conductor
hand and pass out ready transfer
with the other, he must. each time
transfer Is called for. empty both
hands into his pockets and dig for
his punching tool and pad Of transfers
and confusingly juggle with the Aim
sy slip Of paper in an endeavor to
punch" the 'time" and place." and
maybe some of the other many small
places indicated on the transfer. Mean
while the weary line Of passengers
await entry. OF course the greater the
crowd at loading points. the greater
will be the delay on this score. The
'skip-stop" will simply aggravate this
situation. It follows that all unneces-
sary forms Of bookkeeping should be
done elsewhere than on the cars
Ticket-selling booths might also be
established at different points. SO that
unnecessary sales on the cars may be
stopped.
| Thus far all the reforms suggested
seem to be in favor Of the car COM
panies. For instance. by the skip
stop" system the companies are to save
while the public must pay for the ad-
ditiona1 Inconvenience it is made to
suffer. More cars is really what is
needed. and the companies should be
| required to put them on and operate
| to maintain only such schedules as
will result in every car carrying an
overload Of passengers. The long in
terval owl" cars are as crowded as
| the short interval rush hour cars
Lot the companies loosen up or let
the government try its hand.
