LATE MILK DELIVERY
IDEA GAINS FAVOR

P. T. Moran. chairman OF the com
mittee Investigating advantages OF
the change Of hours in delivery of
milk. yesterday received letter from
W. A. Simpson. proprietor OF the
Walker Hill Dairy, in which Mr.. Simp-
son states he favors heartily a change

light delivery of milk.
There is absolutely no reason to
rout a man out of bed at two or 3
o'clock in the morning, merely to
have milk at peoples doors when they
they get up" says Mr.. Simpson. THE
milk could be delivered during the
day sometime and kept over until the
next morning. The customer would
then be sure of having 1t on time for
breakfast"
1T is not only possible" he says.
but very probable that all milk will
soon be sold through grocery stores.

put into effect it would enable the
dairyman to get a better class of
men for the wagons"

not to overlook the other line.
Capital Traction Crowded.
II was stated yesterday that they
found, In a great many cases, persons
walking from the tracks Of the W.
r. and L. to the Capital Traction
Company's line. This increased the
congestion Of the Capital Traction
Company, and lessened the crush on
the W. r. and E., according to ex-
perts. It Is for this reason, they
state, that the crowded condition OF
the Capital Traction line will occupy
almost exclusive space in the frst
section OF the report
One Of the experts cited an example

manner of action
The public utilities commission
sends the company an order saying,

"a few days go by and we find that
they have not done it. So we write
to them asking, why not. And we
get a letter back saying, terribly
sorry, will attend to it at first op-
portunity.'
That goes on, and the smooth dip
lomacy works until we forget or give
up in disgust at their answers.
The W. R. and Z. Is told to do
something. and they write back no.
Then they get an order OF restraint
or something similar and mix things
up in the courts for a few months.
