SKIP-STOP WILL
Be STOPPED IF
PEOPLE INSIST
War Time Fuel Saving System
Far From Popularity
Commission Will Probably
Abolish 1t Tuesday.

Mayor Monteverde and other mem
bers Of the city commission want some
information.
They are anxious to know whether a
majority OF the patrons OF the street
cars want the plan Of operation known
as the skip-stop system continued
the winter, or II they want 1t abolished
forthwith.
An ordinance abolishing the skIp-stop
has been passed OF two readings and is
TO come up in final reading Tuesday.
At the request OF T. II. Tutwiler and
+. s.. Elgin, receivers for the Memphis
Street Railway, the ordinance, which
was to have been passed last Tuesday,
was postponed, II was suggested that
the patrons Of the street cars might
the session OF he city council at $50
Tuesday afternoon to say whether they
want the old service re-establlshed or
not.
The people who ride on the street
cars, however, are most OF them
working people, who car not get away
to attend a city commission meeting,
and who are not much given 10 letter
writing. II they were asked for a refer
endum vote, and did not have to lose
half a day to cast their ballots there
wouldn't be much doubt how they would
express themselves.

which was during wal days, and at the
order OF the state fuel administrator,
as one OF the many plans for saving
coal.
The management OF the Memphis
Street railway naturally made no pro-
test as the plan, It was stated, resulted
i'm n saving OF about $25, 900 a year at
the prices coal was then bringing,
The theory is that every time a street
car is stopped and started, a certain
amount of electrical energy must be
used, and to produce electrical current
a certain amount OF coal must be used
to fire the boilers.
Patrons OF the street cars, knowing
that the order was a wartime one,
grumbled and complained. Some Of the
men possibly swore. But they had to
ride and had TO wait for the cars, and
walk to the designated stops all the
same,
Now the city administration has de-
clded that the war Is over, that coal Is
no scarcer than usual, and that as the
street railway company Is charging 6
cents per ride instead Of 5, that the
peopel of Memphis are Untitled to good
Service they are not getting now.
