DANVILLE, Va, Aug. 25-Officials
of the Danville Traction ami Power
Company are worried as to just how
to conduct the local street car sys.
tenn in way to make the business
profitable. Some are inclined to
blame the shortage in revenues on
the presence of such a large number
Of flivver owners here, but a majority
of them are of the opinion that the
real cause of the falling off of reye-
nues is that white and colored people
are allowed to use the same doors OF
the street cars for entrance and exit.
The company announced its intention
to put on one-man cars to cut down
operating expenses, but this plan is
being bitterly opposed by various citi-
zens' clubs and organizations, and it
is thought the railway company will
abandon this idea.
A prominent official of the company
is alleged to have stated that he
thought the only way out of this per.
picking dilemma is to construct street
cars with separate entrances and exits
for white and colored people. "You
just can't mix these white and col.
ored people down south, especially in
