for at night the light from inside tho car
shines through. MANY other cars, how.

In adopting the new plan OF numbering
the routes and placing numbered slgns on
the cars TO include the names OF the
streets travcrsed alao}, al effort was made
60 find way 20 get tho signs in a posit'on
where tho ear lights would illuminate
them at night. but it was found that this
could not be done without interfering
with the vision Of the motorman. Hence
the necessity for placing them below the
windows. 1t is believed. however, thnt the
arrangement will be satisfactory The
