land Patrons WIZ Take Kindly;
No Longer Experiment.

One-man bridge line cars were in
operation today but equipped with
conductor and motorman. Tomor-
row the cars will be under one man
operation. Five cars on the line
have been equipped with the de-
vices used.
"The Inauguration of one-man car
service on the bridge line, Sunday
morning, is not what you would call
experimental" said President B. J.
Denman of the Tri-City Railway
company. this morning, land yet It
is in sense a test so far as the
people of Rock Island are con-
cerned. The one-man car can no
longer be considered experimental
anywhere, for we have tried it out,
not only in numerous cities where
we control franchises, but particu-
larly right in Davenport, where all
but three lines are So equipped, and
working admirably. Not only is the
result pleasing to the company, but
from what we can hear, it is popu-
lar with our patrons. 1t has enabled
us to. reduce fares without incon-
veniencing the car rider. From ev-
cry standpoint this is gratifying.
THE test so far as the Bridge
line is concerned, involves only the
patrons We want them to see how
the one-man system works, and to
determine if from their point of
view, there really is any fault to
be found with it, Let it have fair
try-out, and then consider what it
means in reduced operating costs,
and eventually in the reduced price

and secondly, that we may get back
