ONE -MAN CARS
FAVORED

Further use of one-man. street cars
was favored by the Washington
Chamber of Commerce in letter to
the Public Utilities Commission to-
day.
THE experience thus far with
one-man street cars" the chamber
reported, has been of sufficient in
terest and success to justify a fur
ther demonstration of these cars, on
q more extended scale if necessary,
to determine whether ar not it would
be advisable to adopt them as stand
ard equipment on our local lines"
Public opinion as reflected to the
commission through letters from
citizens associations and other civic
bodies, however, seems to be, over
whelmingly opposed to the further
use of one-man cars.
Only three other association have
favored their use and 1S have on.
