THE URBAN TRACTION SITUATION. In practically every large city of the Unite! S';

ful. thoughtful buy in?

there is growing dissatisfaction with intramural and

Urban transportation service, and in practically every considerable community the shareholders in traction corporations are as little pleased with future prospects as the populace. In roost cities and in towns of consequence conditions are going from bad to worse. New inventions. Improved appliances, all things that or.ee promised to make urban transportation rapid as well as comfortable, appear to have failed utterly in performance. Speakinc Eenerally or specifically, the people who are compelled to use urban transportation lines in populous centers of the United States are subject to discomforts and hardships which often border upon the intolerable. The cars r re, apparently, fewer and fuller than ever they were in the past; the greater number of passengers are denied seats; in "rush" hours the companies do not hesitate to "pack" their vehicles regardless not only of common consideration but of common decency.
