We presume you are sincere in this statement made in a public * * “nr | “0 | , * WS 4 P We also presume that the events of the last few weeks have convinced you, as they have the general public, that the present fender is far from effective. All that remains, then, according to your own ¥ i * gatement, is to demonstrate the fact that there is a better fender obtainable and the Seattle Electric company will equip its cars with the better fender. * aa «gy * ‘ The Star will bring a better fender to Seattle, together with a man to test its qualities, providing you will agree to permit a test. The fender can be attached to one of your cars. The man The Star will] ‘ e # bring to Seattle is willing to stand in front of this fender-equipped car going at full speed and allow himself to be picked up. The test will be complete and convincing. ; : The Star suggests that it will be merely consistent with your former declaration to give this fender a fair trial and, in case it proves effective, proceed to equip your cars with the best fender obtainable with- « a * out waiting action from the labor commissioner, the board of public works, the city council or the general public. ; t | The fender question is one which affects the safety of every man, woman and child in Seattle. It isa question upon which the public has the right to express itself freely and to take what action 7 A ] * necessary for self-protection, but the responsibility in the matter falls first and heaviest on your corporation, It is a question which should be settled promptly and satisfactorily by your company without waiting * Yr, | + on public officials or public bodies to dictate what the action shall be. * r= | : The public looks to the Seattle Electric company and to you, as the highest official of that company, to do something and the columns of The Star are open to whatever reply you desire to make to thes C- | sggestions advanced in this letter. * le | Yours truly, : ¥ eae, September 30, 1907.
