country came nom being deprived de-prived of its Chief Kxcnillve under I tragic clrcuniBlanocK has aroused people peo-ple everywhere lo the necessity for amore a-more stringent enforcement of the rcg fulallons governing this class of traffic fjt is not cnou h for clues and towns t I to pas ordinances regulating the rate j T > f speed to bo maintained but the companies com-panies themselves should be compelled flo Issue I to tier employees clearlyde fined and easily understood transportation transpor-tation rules and to see that the same Sore faithfully carried out No olectrlc Jcar should ever be permitted to approach Pproach within Jon fern of the foot of a Ithlll especially one with a curve at Us I Soot at a higher rate than thice or < four miles nn hour The car should be under perfect control of the motorman motor-man who should l be able to come lo a full slop even on a c10 ngrade inv in-v much lews than the distance Indicated 3f Instead of following the Presidents carriage the electric car had been apr r ap-r > from the opposite direction rind descending the hill with Us fatal bend at the bottom what would have I been the consequence If I the motorman cither failed to see the warning signals sig-nals or lost control of the car A head nn collision under I such conditions I would probably have resulted in the Instantaneous death of every occupant of the carriage if not of the street car t HE rules governing the running of T I carat need to be clear and dollnllc I I fcvcn when there is a straight course kind double track but when as o often = flappers there are considerable Ktrelches of single track which pass round curves at the Intersection of I streets too much care cannot be taken to Insure the proper working of the fsignals and also to hold the ears un idcr perfect control There should be no such chance talen ns a molorman running past a meeting sy itch In the face of a prohibitory signal lamp only to meet the other car face to face on the same track perhaps as both are attempting to round a curve There f hre points In this city where the tracks gross to such an extent and cars ot various lines arc so numerous that only the utmost vigilance makes It possible pos-sible to operate so as to avoid danger of collision Take the Intersection of Brigham and State streets for example exam-ple Three lines of cars use the tracks jk on Brigham street running east and wsL while four lines pass over Slate street from north to south There are numerous switches and sidetracks to aicommodate meeting cars but In spite of great care and watchfulness on the part of motormen and conductors It Is often Imposilblo to prevent delay and confusion arising from apparent un rlalnly as to who Is en U lied to the rlghl of way Tho hill on First street between Slate and A Is not In Itself HO dangerous except for the sharp turn tit Its foot and the fact thai two lines use the tracks Tin hill on Main street Just north of North Temple Is another point which rail for special care on account of the steep grade These examples ex-amples all chosen because they are just out of the business center and I where the residences begin In the crowded business streets there really Is Ics danger I notwithstanding the congested con-gested condition of IralTlc during many hours of the day because the roadway is level anti the rule requiring the can lo come to a full slop on the near side of an Intersection street is generally obeyed 1 a a v I T IIgRE would seem to be a great i sympathetic nerve extending through the country which governs trnde

coal region g of Pennsylvania with the consentient ndvnuoos In price have been followed by an advance lu the retail price of the Colorado product and It Is rumored that the shippers of oft coal arc meditating medi-tating a similar action Meanwhile limo longsuffering public would like to be Informed as to the reasons for such action If as Is claimed by those nearest near-est to the mine owners sympathy has nothing to do with the case 4 < HE building of railroads and the THE spread of interstate commerce has among other things brought about a change In Western Ideas on the subject sub-ject of small colas Time was when pennies were unheard of and even nick vis I were not In much demand In the store saloon bank or newsstand no smaller subdivision than the long or short bit was recognized Now we find pennies freely used In many of the local lo-cal Institutions such as the postolllce revenue collectors office and at the bargain bar-gain counters of stores Jf you buy a couple of iccnt stamps you put down n nickel and receive either a 1ccnt stamp or a penny as you my elect A price card marked SI 193 1 means thaf you get back 2 cents out of your V Previous Pre-vious to the general Introduction of pennies it was sometimes customary for persons making change to divide on such basis as this If you laid down a dollar to pay for a bill fooling up 07 cents you received 3o cents In change but if It amounted to GS cents you got only 30 cents J am told that it occasionally oc-casionally happens even now when the unit In the Cents column reads S or 9 a storekeeper or bank leller will call It 5 i but such cases J think are rare in this vicinity |
