Hon.Mayor and City Council.

Gentlemen;-

We, your special committee appointed to look into
the service rendered the public by the Northern Texas Traction Co, beg
to report as follows,

We held a conference with Mr.Haines,Gen'l. Mgr. of the Traction Co
and the matter of better service was discussed, especially as to the
City Belt, and the Boaz and Mo. Ave, lines. Mr.Haines readily agreed to
put on a I5 minute service on the Boaz and Mo. Ave line. In order to do
this another siding will have to be put in between Elizabeth and Henrietta
streets. This he promises to do at once. The matter of better service
on the City Belt was discussed at some length. It was suggested by Mr.
Hains that he could give a better service by making two belts, both coming
in over the Hemphill street line, cars all to run one way. As this would
require a number of residents living along this line to travel twice the
distance that they now do to get to town, it was agreed that the news-
papers should discuss the matter and give the patrons affected by the
change an opportunity to express themselves. After discussing the matter
with quite a number of citizens, your committee is of the opinion that
the change should not be made at this time.

Two new and commodious cars have recently been placed on the belt
line materially relieving the crowded condition.

General Mgr. Haines assures us that more cars will be put in and that
other and necessary sidings will be put in. Your committee
is led to hope and believe that the service rendered by the Traction Co
will be improved as spedily as possible.

Respectfully submitted.
