Experiments in convict road building will be watched with ry A@teresi. But what has beoume of Gov.

HE noar-side stop for trolley cars is likely to become the law T in New York. Alderman Bedell, Chairman of the Committee on Public , Uniformity makes for convenience. rise to it. " The chiet objection to the near-side stop is that it compels pas- ‘ing on the crossing to walk tho length of the car to the Platform. But at present few cars ever make the far-side stop ie that the rear platform is nearer than half a car's length to the cross- ing. This particular drawback is, therefore, not likely to cause much suffering. Maybe it will stimulate street cleaning. Some people are sure to gbiect to either stop. Provided the ral public, however, will accept the new plan and do its part, the le rule will suon seem ae antiquated as the horse car days that ‘Will the Irish nationa!
