Either the signal gets out of order and does not work @r some careless car man fails to operate a signal and there is | doren @ head-on collision with resultant deaths and injuries yore If it were merely the smashing up of the Seattle Electric company's property that ensued, the public would exhibit a FIRST KISS OF MAXIM GORKI passive interest, but when each collision involves the smashing up of some citizens and usually a diminution in their numbers, then the public takes a decided and aggressive interest Novelist wt Or Just now the public demands that the two Ballard lines | uation » | riv should be double-tracked, and double-tracked without delay. |“))* Thousands of people are being compelled to risk their lives — Continually upon the unsafe single tracks, and ever face the dangers of possible collisions. The block system has proved ineffective, It fails at the thost critical times, Therefore it should be supplanted by the |" @ne thing which is more effective, and that is the double track, | 1 thus practically eliminating the possibility of collisions. head And the public will not be content with double-tracking | *™ the Ballard lines. It has not forgotten the perils that daily | seots 5 | Sends lurk around the single-track line to the University. One of | casicr } he kx these days another calamity will occur upon that road and Pp } perhaps a carload of students will be the sufferers, It is sure to happen, sooner or later, unless the road is double-tracked throug And the Renton line, although a property independent of | shutters taverns the Seattle Electric company, undoubtedly could raise the hese money to double-track its system, It should do so, pomat Not only from the standpoint of public safety, but from that of rapidity and convenience in operation the double-track road is far preferable to the single-track road In time every line throughout the city should have a dou- ble track. It Is Well Worth Doing The City of Seattle should go after ali conventions in future. The bigger they are the better. Why not make this @great convention city? As long as facilities must be provided a face marks, for the Christian Endeavor convention in 1907, the largest of |in the any, why not get the smaller ones?
