Board of Trustees of Alameda Tak» the Matter in Their Own Hands and Make Demands. it 8% | ALAMEDA, June 19.—Although Division | Superintendert Frazier of the Coast Division has said that he would con- sign to the waste-basket any petition the citizens of Alameda might present urging improvement n the narrow-gauge service the City Trustées are unde and will see that the protest of the people reaches somebody in authority Bhigher than the nearsighted Mr. Frazier. Five hundred commuters have signed their names to the petition. It is quite 2 lengthy document. It recites the in- | conveniences the traveling public is com- pelled to put up with in the way of crowded and unsanitary cars, delayed trains and frequent accidents. The de- mand is made for a change from narrow- ns on the local | gauge to broadgauge t line from High street to the mole. It is pointed out that turntables should be placed at each of the terminals so that engines can be operated without the tem- thereby minimiz- ing the number of accidents on account of the kangaroo machmes. In answer to the statement of Superin- tendent Frazier that Oakland was given the broadgauge service so that Alameda’s | narrow-gauge service could be improved the petition sets forth that the superior service is discrimination in favor cf the former city against the latter, which suf- fers materially from the effects of poor train service. In addition to sanctioning the protest of the 500 commuters of Alameda who de- mand better service the Board of Trus- tees will forward to railroad headquarters a strong communication urging that the wishes of the people receive due respect and consideration.

The outline of topics is as follows: Vi, lITEfiAHY TALKS AND REMINISCENGES, To those who love literature this will be the most popular course in the entire series. THE CALL has secured “literary talks” from men and women who knew Longfellow and Holmes and Whittier and other prominent American authors personally. The purpose of the course is to present the men rather than their essays or poems. No set pro- me has been arranged. The contributors—Rev. Edward Everett’ ale, D. D.; Thomas Wentworth Higginson, William J. Rolfe, Litt. D.; Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, Harriet Prescott Spofford and Professor Lewis E. Gates—have been asked to talk simply “out of the fullness of their hearts.” Their names are a guaranty of Jie delightful treat they are certain to provide for Home Study Circle readers. t S B R R B B I o 3 e e B o B R R R oo el U ol oy o o T G o i e T e S |
