P. E. Troy Asks Supervi- sors to Question the United | Railroads as to Operations | POOR SERVICE ALLEGED Information Relative to the Curves at Different Points Is Also Demanded In accordance with a previous un- derstanding with the Finance Commit- tee E. P. E. Troy yesterday filed a communication with the Supervisors, in which he submits a number of ques- tions to the United Railroads for an- | swer by the corporation. Troy alleges | that the company is giving poor serv- ice and that 4534 persons have been | injured on its cars, thirty-six persons | having died in 1903 from street car accidents. Troy says further that the | | company is using parts of streets that ! it has no right to and that the bad | | condition of street pavement and dan- | gerous rails still continues except on | Third street and for three ‘blocks on Kearny street. Troy requests the Su- pervisors to exact from the railroad company detailed information relative | to its stocks, bonds, financial opera- | tlons, assets, cost of road, additions made to the system, income account, | rentals and other matters. Follow- | ing are some of the questions which | Troy wants the company to answer: | | Under what franchise and what clause of | same are curves laid at the corner of Post | and Kearny streets and D street and Sixth | and_Efghth avenues? | What other curves have been laid during the last two years, and under what franchise | Tights?

To say what was the chief attrac- tion would be almost impossible. The turnstiles at the gates showed that almost 8000 persons passed in during | the afternoon. A ecasual observer on the inside would come to the conclu- slon that the turnstile made half rates on its register, as such an as- semblage of merry, romping children has rarely been seen in this city. Of course there were mammas, papas and aunties along to see that no acci- dents happened. The teachers also kept a watchful eve on their charges, but a guardian would require as many s a centipede has legs to keep | of what was doing among the care-free children.

Yesterday a vicious bulldog tore a piece out of the lobe of the lit- tle fellow’s ear. This necessitated his removal to the Park Hospital, where the wound was dressed. Before drawing the lacerated parts together it was necessary to cauterize the injured parts. During this painful operation and the stitching of the wound not a whimper or complaint escaped the namesake of the hero of Manila Bay. When asked if he felt the treatment Young Dewey answered, “Of course I did, but you know my name is Dewey. I'm called after the great admiral who whipped the Span- fards and with® that name I'd be ashamed to cry.” ————— mnu.lsi‘(m“i, ’Ansei,oul:"hn:.l tBelveflere. 0, me cal te. Rev. C.
