to the Delaware Safety Council and
the traction company, opposing the
plan.
Thomas w. Wilson, general man
ager of the traction company this
morning issued the following state
ment relative to the inauguration OF
the proposed plan:
Certain OF our branch lines, such
as the Edge Moor branch, which have
never carried many passengers, are
now so severely affected by the in
dustrial depression that they are
operated at a very heavy loss and the
cars during most of the time are
practically empty. From the neces-
sity Of reducing this deficit we are
considering the operation of the cars
on such branches with one trainman
instead of two. This is not an inno-
vation as more than IT'S companies
now operate one-man cars on poor
lines, including the p. r. T. and the
Southern Pennsylvania Traction
Company. In fact, for more than ten
years cars have been so operated
in many communities throughout the
country. There is no intention of
extending this plan of operation to
the lines where the traffic requires
two trainmen."
Inquiry made OF the crews of the
Edge Moor branch of the traction
company's system today brought the
information that the cars operated
on this branch were running empty
at all times. the recent lay off at the
I Todd Cut shops Of the Pennsylvania
| Railroad Company causing this
slump in trolley business.
The statement issued by the com
pany's officials that there is No
/ though of extending the one mar
car plan to those lines that carry
many passenger sets at rest the
rumor on the streets yesterday tha
the company eventually would oper
ate one-man cars on all its routes.

The man refused to answer any
questions today. Upon being ar

Thousands GroW Out of IL

years ago L. L. Williams took eleven
gray squirrels from Kentucky to VAN
couver and liberated them IN Van
couver park. To-day Vancouver resi-
dents wish williams had his squirrels
back In Kentucky.
Since the squirrels arrived vancouve-
has developed a flourishing filbert and
English walnut Industry and the squir-
rels have developed into small army,
overflowing the park and spreading out
over the city.
A. A. Quarrenberg. one OF the lead
Ing nut growers, expressed the senti-
mcnts of the growers:
1T would not be 90 bad if they would
bury the nuts in ona place. for then
we would have no trouble digging up
our nut crop. But the squirrels bury each
nut separately. and then they usually
forget where they leave them"
The bad memory Of the squirrel is
expected to lead them into difficulty.
Although several thousand work twelve
to fourteen hours daily burying nuts
the city is forced to BUY an average of
$50 worth every year to feed them In
the winter. Increased taxes cause the
city counc.l to find ways and means of
cutting expenses. and a movement In on

take them 100 miles back In the noun
