A letter iron the Syracuse Street Railway Company. Just received. is as iollowa: . Syracuse. N. Y., Sept. 14th, 1890. Norwalh TramwayOo ,, South Norwalh, Chan. Gentlemen: Your letter oi the llth. asking ior information regarding vestibules on trolley cars. duly received. in reply would say. that we did at one time op- erate vestibule cars here, but have re- moved them wholly irom the road, or removed the vestibules irom the cars. The vestibule is not a protection to the motorman at a time when he wants protection. ior it is at those times that he must have a clear. iree and unres- tricted vision. Our opinion is. that in view at the decision oi the Supreme Court. we must exercise greater care In ninnlng through our streets than tile vehicle. which has no railroad strip to run upon; that the motornlau should have the clearest and ireest vision pos- sible to be given. 0i course, there is the humanitarian standpoint which must be considered. We have provided out‘motormen with goat skin costs, which may be worn all winter, or at times. as they may choose. While this, in a measure. does not take the place oi the vestibules. yet the warm garment is greatly ap- predated. and we feel that we would preier. many times over. to purchase the inr garment at quite an expense, rather than equip our cars with vesti- bules, and run the danger oi accidents which are bound to come with imped- ed vision.

I want to call to your attention that street railway motormen receiving from $10.00 to 315.00 per week are not the same reliable class oi labor as the engineers on the New York New Hav- so and Hartiord Railroad Company, receiving 320.00 to‘ 830.00 per weelt. with whom and their duties you are probably more intimately: uainted. i call this to your attention. or some peoplesaytha't engineers have this pro- tection, why not motormeni'li'urther- more. the cases are so dissimilar that there should be no need oi answering d such an argument. When street cars run on their own ienced-iu right oi way. where trespass on this right oi way is prohibited by law. and when stops are made only at certain tired stations. you will not ilnd it necessary to order a company to provide vesti- bules. It is plainly not in the interests at the public ior platiorma to be en- closed by vestibules. Now, as to the interests oi the em- ployees. i am prepared to grant that in some climates the temperatur may be so severe that it hyslca im- possible ior human to with- stand it, continually day in and day out, morning and night. in such clia mates vestibqu are doubtless neces- sary.
