DEMAND 81. CAR SERVICE.

Editor News-Times:
Through your valuable paper
desire to make a protest i'm resard
To the service of the street car com
pany to the employees of the Oliver
pillow works who arc under the ne
ccssity Of riding the cars to and
from work. AS the service AT best
is quite inefficient. at the worst il
leaves no choice except TO stand
out i'm the rain for from a half TO
tlree- quarters of an hour waiting
for a car to come When they do
happen along more often than
otherwise IL is a little dinky only
about hall Iaree enough 10 afford
standing room for the men who
have worked all day. arriving at
the transfer station oftentimes only
in time TO see the car which we
wish 10 transfer TO leaving by a
margin of half "a minute, giving us
the satisfaction of knowing that If
we are lucky we may be able 20
hang on TO another strap I'm 10 min
utcs if the next car comes i'm on
time.
And just another thing. Mt Edi-
tor. south Bend i'm a good many
ways is far in advance of other
cities of its size. but in some things
we are away behind; for instance
la city of nearly $4,000 should have
Ia service of not more than eight
minutes apart between cars. but,
howeveh without changing from
the present schedule and giving rs
the 15-milute service with enough
cars to accommodate us perhaps
we would not kick But we are
kicking now, and if kicking does no
good. later we viii demand better
service. Our demands will not stop
with the street car company, but
we will demand that our city coun-
ell take some action. which they
have had every opportunity TO do.
We saw 10 YOU. Mr.. street Car COM
pany. that we shall expect better
service at once. or plans will be laid
before the city administration that
will furnish transportation to the
working men and women of south
Bend whether il comes from your
company or not.
Respectfully yours.
John A. Dinsmore.
