It was the most pleasant surprise party that has been sprung on the local public In a long time. For years the traction company has been using its old cars on the local line and the public at large has constant- ly been dissatisfied and have con- tinually complained to the city offi- cials, asking them to try to better the conditions. The city was powerless because the company was operating its cars under a franchise, and although the company showed little regard for the agreement, nothing was ever done. It has been rumored that when the present franchise expires, which will be one year hence, the council would refuse to regrant it , Fear for Franchise. It is thought that this rumor has reached the ears of the traction com- pany's officials, and fearing that the local solons will refuse to grant them a new franchise, have decided that it is time to give something better to the Evanston people. The cars that have been in use here for years are old ones. They are relics of the Pan-American expo- sition. They are in poor condition and are also unsanitary. Consequent ly the appearance of the up-to- date pay-ae-you-enter cars Saturday caused quite a stir to patrons who are forced to use the cars or walk. Many have' preferred to do the latter. While the general public was great- ly surprised to see the entirely un- expected move, the city officials eould not believe their eyes ;$ri*en the first of the new cars was aOen to pasa the city hall. ■':--. ▲ representative of this paper Was in tile office of John H.

Another one of the city officials was called to look at the car so that the story, would stand when £ it was repeated. Those In the city hall who had not seen the cars refused to be- lieve It when they were told of the new oars, Despite the appearance of the cars, there axe still those who will not be- lieve that they are a permanent fix- ture. Some maintain the company is merely playing a Joke on the pub- lic. Others claim that the cars are being used ^wliile the old ones are being given another piling and over- hauling. If it is found that the cars will be left on the Evanston line for all time agitation will be started for better facilities at Howard avenue, where It is necessary to wait sometimes in changing care. It is hoped the trac- tion company's officials will also: do in this matter. ' y Efficient Work of H||)th Oe^ partment Keeps Milk Meve Required Standard-Make Weekly Tests.
