ONE MAN CAR ABANDONED

The Gazette notes with pleasure
that the Washington Virginia
Railway Company has decided
not to inaugurate the one-man car
system on its line between Alex
andria and Washington. 1t was
evident from the beginning that
the proposed plan would not work
successfully on line where the
traffic is as heavy as it is between
Alexandria and Washington.
We congratulate the railway
officials on their decision. They
wanted to find out if the public
approved of the new car system
and finding that public sentiment
is, against it readily gave up the
idea and they are to be com
mended.
