.Sk|P-ST0P QUESTION
UP BEFORE COMMITTEE
Request of Go, ernmcnt for Conscrva-
ton OF Fuel to Be Acted
tpon Today.
WITHDRAW OPPOSITION
Commissioner 4. Beirne Blair Dc
ci.lres MANY Tons OF Coal May Bc
Sared Through Adoption of Pro-
posed System.

The street. committee of city coun-
ell at it's meeting this evening will
consider the suggestion OF the fuel
administrator thse the city require
the Virginia Railway and Power com
pany to install the skip-stop system
on all its lines in the city.
This question came up a. tire last
meeting of the committee, upon the
instancs of A. Beirne Blair. local fuel
commissioner. who urged such action
o., the grounds that it would tend to
save several thousands tons of coal
during the year He presented a let
ter from the national committee. in
which il was stated that all cities in
the country had been asked TO take
similar steps, in order that coal might
be conserved TO the Utmost during the
coming winter.
Tho proposition was opposed by
Jesse c. Duke. representing the Cen
trail Trades and Labor council. who
said he would be glad to present ar
guments against the measure.
In order that all information might
be placed before the committee, action
on the proposition was deferred until
this meeting, with the understanding
that an expert on skip-stops from
Washington would be present to ex
plain the feasibility of the movement.
The Virginia Railway and Power
company had sent council similar
petition. but upon the presenta ton
of the letter from the fuel admins
tration, this petition vas withdrawn.
Many members of council oppose the
skip-stop system on general prirci-
pies, but 1t was intiT ated at the meet
Ing Of the committee that persona
wishes and inctinatIons would he laid
aside. IL the government could in any
way be aided.
Mr. Blair said the city Of washing
ton had taken UP the plan. and ex
perts had estimated that about s.ooo
tons OF coal could be saved during the
wear. This amount would not be
saved here, of course. as the street
car lines in Washington occupy about
twice the territory as those in Rich
mond,
The question Of the use OF city
streets by the Richmond-Seven Pines
lines will also be taken up at the
m eetinx today. This line connects the
city with the territory from Twenty
ninth and p streets TO Seven Pines

Objection TO the petition com Z.
from citizens who use the line on the
grounds that interchangeable trans.
