i } } {} 3 ——ee ae TLL SUFFER FOR LAGK OF CAR SERIE People in Rainier Valley Get No Relief—S. R. & S. Co. Makes More) Promises. ee re Promises made and broken by the | Seattle, Renton & Southern rail way, which failed to keep {ts agree ment to have its new Fourth ay line, from Fourth and Pike, via} Main, King and Rainler sts, to tts present line on Washington st. in| operation by September 1, has led to an investigation now being made | by A. V. Bouillon, superintendent | of public utilities, which promises | results. In the hope of securing better} service for the patrons of the} Washington st. cars, which are now} operated by a slow counterbalance | system up the steep grade from| Fourth av, to Seventh av,, Superin-| tendent Bouillon has suggested in & letter to the street car company | a plan which, if adopted, he thinks will result in improved service. fhe company maintains that no more cars than are running now/ can be operated by the counterbal. | ance from the foot of Washington hill to Seventh av, Boulllon’s plan ts to have more cars od into service from Seventh it “Several patrons of the Washing- ton st. line,” said Mr. Boulllon to day, “have expressed their willing- neas to walk up the bill that dis seg from Fourth av. to Seventh . if they are assured that enough ped will be there to carry them home. As yet I have received no reply to the letter in which I sug- gested this plan to the company. It is apparent to me that for the rea. fon the company can see no in- creased revenue in such a plan, it will not give the patrons of its line the benefit of extra cars. As it is being operated now, the cars are shamefully overcrowded. I intend to press this matter until I can get satisfactory results. Within a few hours I shall receive a report which will throw additional light on the situation. it is now September 11 and the Fourth ay. line is not in Operation, although the offictals of the Seattle, Renton & Southern railway gave their promise that ears would be running on it on and after September 1.” Morris B. Sachs, vice president of the railway, said today that the road would be opened within a few days, but could give no definite date. Judging from the way work on the line is progressing at pres- ent, it may be weeks before cars fre actually im operation. Mr. Sachs lays stress on the fail Bre of the Seattle Electric company, which owns tracks on Fourth av., from Washington to Main sts., and on Main, from Fourth to Fifth avs.) to sign a contract giving his com-| pany the right to use those tracks for that distance. The Fourth ay. Mne cannot be extended and con- nected with the Washington st. line until this contract Is signed, ac- cording to Vice President Sachs. In the meantime, the people who are compelied to patronize the inade- quate counterbalance system must suffer. }which had started at the jing than the previous day's.
