Traction Company Answers
Complaint Filed Against 1t
Before Service Commission

The Harrisburg Railways Com
pany to-day filed with the Public
Service Commission its answer to the
complaint of G.. A. Herring against
car service and conditions i'm which
it calls upon the complainant to give
time and place where people were
permitted to ride on front plat
forms, where schedules were not
maintained and where cars were not
heated.
Attention is called to abnormal
conditions the last few months,
especially where car tracks were the
only space on which vehicular traf-
fic could move because of the snow
fall and methods of removing it
from streets and to situations Great
ed by weather in operation and roll
ing stock. 1t is claimed that the cars
are heated by thermostats.
Fffty-seven cars are declared to
constitute the normal number oper-
ated on schedule with twenty two
special cars in the mornings and
thirty in the evenings to care for
rush hours, and the contention is
made that car hour operation was
greater in the period complained of
than heretofore.

that for the first time in years there
is only one petitioner whose case will
be contested before the court. This
is probably due, il was said, to the
fact that there are no applications
for licenses for new places as in
former years. The applicant whose
petition has been protested against
is Harry +. Fetrow, of the Fort

License court will be held on

piles of snow which had been SHOW
eled from the sidewalks.
More than $50 employees of the
city highway department were paid
to-day for work during the first two
weeks of the month. The amount
needed for the payroll and for hir-
ing additional trucks. teams and
carts will be about $500.
