RECoMAENDs MORE
SAFETY ZONES.
In addition the committee suggested tho
establishment Of more safety zones and
leading stations far side loading where
cars cross street intersections In order to
make way for cars which turn at in
tersections and an order by the public
service commission prohibiting inter-
urban freight trains from running over
downtown tracks between I m and
80 y. IN. Nothing has been done to-
ward carrying these out.
Instead the board Of works on Jan 10
ordered twenty minute cross-town service
in Washington street from Irvlngton to
Mt Jackson, which was discontinued sew
eral days ago and operation Of College
avenue cars over Delaware. Maryland and
Pennsylvania streets. which was not put
into effect because there is no turnout
from Maryland street north into Penn
sylvsnia street.
On Jan 20 the board ordered the skip
stop and mid block loading systems and
they were put into effect Jan. -.
The Riverside rerouting and Playground
and Washington street crosstown service
were ordered Jan. 80 and went into eff
feet Feb. /.
DIsCoNTISUEs
MID-BLOCK LOADING.
Mid block loading was discontinued on
order Of the mayor Feb. and the skip
stop abandoned Feb. II.
Meanwhile the board had ordered Eve
Massachusetts avenue lines to loop around
the courthouse, but rescinded the or
der before It became effective when
James 2. Tretton. superintendent Of the
indianapolis Street Railway Company,
pointed out that It would mike Wash
lnstou street between Delaware and Ala
bama streets more congested than any
other block in the city.
1t would cost the indianapolis street
Railway Company $4,000 to install the
WashiLgtO to Pennsylvania street turn
out. Mr. TrcttOn said. Traction officials
declared the company did not have the
money. The board Of works, by falling
to order the turnout has not tested the
company on this point, however.
II the turnout were in twenty seven
College and twenty East Tenth stree.

congested parts of Washington and Illi-
nois streets in the downtown loop, ac
cordlny to the committees calculations.
