Show 1 COMMUNICATION i 4 Editor Ogden Siandard-F.xamlner: Please allow me a little Rpaco in I your paper as I wish tO call the at-I at-I ten tlon of tho manager of the ogden street car system to the present over-erowde.i over-erowde.i condition of tho scheduled! fie and six o'clock North Ogden cars, ami I propose a system whereby j 'this may bo changed with ease. That, all passengers riding this North Ogden I Car, present to the conductor a through ticket. If not, be Compelled I to w.Mt for tho next car. I ask them ito give this matter immediate attention atten-tion as tho present condition has been allowed to remain until it has become, monotonous. Furthermore, 1 serve notice to tho, board of health that in my Judgment, the health of our children Is grosslv 1 'neglected bi allowing these conditions to prevail and 1 ask the chairman o" that board. If he doubts my Judgment,! 'to take a ride two or three evenings on the tlve and six o'clock cars bearing bear-ing tho sign. 'North Ogden,' and after doing so. he finds the conditions as I have described num. I Invite his support sup-port In bringing about a change. Also the school board of ogden city who control the public attending High school from the rural districts, whom.i I believe h:te an Interest in nic neaun and well-being and desire to seu that tho pupils have comfortable transportation. transpor-tation. An I am a frequent passenger on these cars. I have seen front ninety to one hundred and twenty passengers crowded on these cars and I have heard disrespectful remarks about our school children because they would make a rush sind obtain a seat and allow elderly people to stand up. Now, I am an old man and knowing the conditions as I do, 1 believe, the chll-'dren chll-'dren within their rights and If I should deprive one of them of llielrj seat 1 would feel that I bad trespassed trespass-ed 0n their rights and as those ehll-j dren are compelled to ride On certain 1 cars or remain In ' gden one hour, and many passengers have an opportunity 1 to go a few minutes earlier or a fewj minutes later, some ride only as far as the 1 igden bridge and. as a rule,! bv the time the ear reaches the Nortn city limits, there Is ample room for all to bo seated in the North Ogden car. Now. I feel sure thai if the through ticket was adopted It would ' ike but a few days to regulate this undesirable the officers whom I have mentioned In the foregoing will ac-cept ac-cept of my suggestions with tho same Igood will, as 1 have made them. 1 re-rnaln. re-rnaln.
