Accelerated speed is said to be necessary because of u shortage of cars, but tho question is whether the public would not be better satisfied for the lime being with a more limited scrviou and Iras discomfort. .At prcwont minor hurts are common, but the strain on the start is excessive, and the rolling stock must lie subject to extraordinary wear and tear.
