tinued consideration TO next Thurs

at that hour the committee voted to
adjourn and take the matter up next
Thursday night Before adjourn
ment several members Of the com
mittee stated that the ordinance in
it's present form was impractical. and
it is probable that before the next
meeting on the subject, an amend
ment will be made to the present
ordinance, which requires separate
entrances for the race and a two
man crew for each car. The mem
bers agree that some improvement
must be made in the Car service.

was brought forth strongly in OPP
position OF the one-man cars. The
opponents opened with a speech by
w: r. Reese, who was followed by
