Car Stops

The season has come when the pres.
ent system Of car stops In the residen-
ttaI section Of the District begins to
bear hard upon the patrons Of the car
lines. The distance between home and
stopping point is greater on the aver
age under the present system than
under the old plan Of regular corner
stops. Elderly and infirm people must
walk farther to "get the car" There
is greater chance of missing the car"
When the slip-stop system was
adopted there was some necessity and
warrant. II was necessary to speed
up the tra3ilc, to get the utmost serv.
Ice out Of the existing rolling stock.
But gradually 40 the congestion has
been iessened the skip-stops have been
modified. and more stopping points
have been established. Still there are
many places In the residential section
where wide eaps occur between stop
ping points These should be closed.
Under the present system It IL diff
cult for person not familiar with the
locality to know where q car may be
boarded. The yellow disc gives notice
during tho day, to be sure. but at
night II 10 impossible to Determine the
proper place to stand to board a car.
The car.stop signs are not Illuminated.
and stranger to the city. or . Wash.
ingtonian who IL stranger to the neigh.
borhood. Is often put to Inconvenience
and subjected to serious delay in ind.
Ing the right place.
There is no reason now why the
cars should not stop in the residential
sections at every corner. This matter
IL recommended to the Public Utilities
Commission for consideration, with q
view to effecting the greatest possible
service to the people. -
