Citizens of Southeast Washington
are expressing their dissatisfaction
with the present railroad facilities in
no uncertain terms, and letters of
complaint are written daily to the
utilities commission asking for re-
lief. The principal complaint is the
lack of sufficient cars to handle the
people. II is not so much the fact
that the cars are crowded, as it is
the fact that because of this crowd
ing passengers are required to wait
from fifteen minutes to a half hour
for a car that they can even find
room on.
The service of the Washington
Railway and Electric Company
through the Southeast is anything
but sufficient to handle the traffic.
according to statements of promi-
nent civic leaders and others, and
the only remedy is more cars. While
the service on the Capital Traction
Company is somewhat better. it is
said that this line also does not op-
crate sufficient cars through the
Southeast. Any attempt to increase
the fare without greatly improved
service will be the cause of much
protest of the residents of South
east
