Grand Isle Railroad
DefieS Law Of
|mpenetrabiIity
PASSENGERS ALL DRESSED UP
AND NO PLACE TO GO
Passengers Ride On Top of Coaches

Defying the law of impenetrability, |
that of making two objects occupy |
the same place at the same time, |
was put over by the Grand Isle Rail
road Monday evening when the little
motor car and it's trailer hove into
the Algiers depot with its more than
a hundred passengers, when room
| was only provided for fifty-four. Pas
sengers stood on the steps, stood on
each other, the aisles were crowded
| to suffocation. some were on the top
Of the car and few hung out of the
windows. and many would have hung
on the straps, but none were pro-
vided
When the car came into AlgierS
spectators along the line thought that
something had happened down the
coast and that it was necessary to
bring in the population.
In order that the conductor could
get his fares he had to signal to the
motorman to stop the car so that he
could get off the car to get into the
front car, as it was impossible to go
through the aisles. After he got into
the car the passengers had to pass
the money along the line to him,
which was done in a kindly holiday
spirit. This way of collecting fares
is, in our opinion, even better than
the pay as you enter method, as by
this method you lose no time what.
ever.
What seemed TO be a hard blow
, was that suffered by the butcher boy,
who was unable to sell his wares to
the passengers. He was marooned
in one corner of the car when the
> car left Bay Adams, and he was still
standing in the same position four
hours later when 1t reached Algiers
