SKIP STOP PLAN
OF OPERATING
CAUSES KICKS
Satisfaction Predicted When
Smooth Running Order Is
Established.
BEST ON LONG LINES

Three days of skip-stop operation OF
street cars coupled with the new mid
le-of-the- block loading plan downtown,
have brought innumerable complaints to
the board Of public works. The board
and street railway officials say that they
believe the new system when working
smoothly will shorten the running time
Of cars from 10 to Is per cent and will
prove satisfactory when properly In op-
Grafton. The same arguments used
against skip-stop operation during the
war period are coming to the board Of
works now.
Most Of the criticism comes from the
south side. Residents there claim that
skip stop operation might save time on
the long lines such as Illinois, College
Central and East Washington, but the
south side lines are much shorter and
that all the skip-stop does for them is
to make it less convenient TO catch the
cars.
Officials Of the street railway company
claim that the skip-stop plan saves time
no matter how short the line. They say
it was necessary to speed up the sched
ule Of every line in the city when the
plan was used before and that they are
changing all schedules now as rapidly
as possible.
FEW CHAMPION
NEW LOADING PLAN.
While the skip-stop in residence dis
tricts found considerable disfavor be-
cause it directly affects those persons
who have to walk an extra block to get
on cars, the middle-o Of the block loading
plan found few champions. 1t represents
the theory Of the committee Of the Indi-
annapolis Chapter of the American ARso-
citation OF Engineers upon whose recon-
mendation the new system was inaugu-
rated.
However, It Is the complaint Of many
that IN a majority Of cases it works out
that the cars make one stop to take on
passengers and another at the corner
thereby slowing up progress instead Of
advancing 1t.
Those Ia favor Of middle Of the block
loading assert that this criticism IS due
chiefly to the fact that passengers al
ways notice the stops but do not notice
how many times the cars go straight
through. They say that because OF the
law OF averages the cars will 60 straight
across the crossing as many times az
they are stopped.
LEAVE TASK
TO COMPANY.
Meanwhile the board of public works
has left to the Street Railway Company
the task of changing stops In the resi-.
dence districts to better suit the conven-
fence of patrons The board members
went with James P. Tretton, superin-
tendent of the Street Railway Company,
over the Illinois, Central and East Wash.
ington lines Monday afternoon to consider
changes in stops. Few were made, how
ever, and the board decided to leave the
matter to Mr.. Tretton's Judgment with
the right to order changes If deemed
necessary hereafter. The board an
nounced that 1t will be glad to receive
petitions for changes from citizens.
( Permanent stop signs of black on n
white background will replace the tenn
porary red signs in a short time, Mr.
