Punch boards, the innocent looking

went to the camps and sold chances

KICKS AT CARS.

Editor FL Paso Herald:
Having been stationed at Fort Bliss
for a year or more in the employ Of
the government and constantly COM
ing IN contact with officers. civilians
and enlisted men who have to depend
or the street cars and 5itnes for trans
POI tation between Bliss and the city,
I feel as II 1 am qualified to express
the opinion in general OF all the gov
eminent employees at Fort Bliss
They as a whole are continually
knocking the street car service. or
rather not the service (as there is
and never has been since I have been
in FL Paso anything that a real city
would call service) but the inconveni-
ence Of getting in and out Of Ell Paso
from the Fort
When first came to FL Paso I lived
in town, and after about a month of
waiting anywhere from 20 minutes to
an hour every morning and night and
then waiting another hour en- route,
almost invariably having to stand all
the way out, moved out to the Grand
View district. and, while this made
matters better as far as being close
to my work was concerned. expert
enced the same difficulties whenever
1 wanted TO come to town Right here
is where the street car service hurts
FL Paso more than any other way. Due
to the irregularity and slowness Of the
street cars I do not go to the city more
than one night a week, and inaSmuch
as spend anywhere from a dollar to
three every time I come to town. it is
a money saving proposition. but FL
Paso merchants are losing not only
what I would spend but what hun
dreds Of others stationed out here at
the Fort would gladly spend IL they
had some means by which they could
get into town without having TO wait
two or three hours.
