The committee, which recently re re
euested of Superintendent Mills tlmt
BrMdrtrwt. In the Immediate vicinity
of the Academy of Music, be turned
ever te the use of opera patrons nt
the hour when the performances arc
ever, feels that some steps should be
taken te avoid a repetition of tlie con
gestion and delay of lust nlRlit.
Superintendent Mills said today that
a far as his force was concerned, last
nteht represented the best service tlmt
.i.. it., hml nlreadv nronesed nu
electric call-beard plan te members of
the committee, which was net adopted.

that he has proposed Is the only hope

Members 01 mr ",r,,mm'11"
We declared that .Mr. Mills' plan Is
net practical, .
"I Knew in advance nun mil. wriii n
confusion was Inevitable unless some
steps te put In nn adequate call system
ierc taken," said Superintendent Mills.
"There Is nothing further the police
can de in the way of speeding things
up and getting the cars-te the curb in
bttter urdcr. , ,
"It would net be fair te the theatres
tnd clubs en Bread street te close- the
pace In front of the Academy te nil
but patrons of the opera. If the opera epera opera
Kecrs expect te have the conveniences
they wish In leaving the Academy, some
tnrt of efficient call system will have
te be put into operation.
Mills Makes Suggestion
"There arc approximately 000 cars
te go te the curb at the Academy after
the perlermance. in we i-uu mi iww
Is drive them around mid areuud and
hope that the owners get out te ttiem
In time.
"An electric system would mean that
ti-hen a car reached a certain pelnt
Relng east en Locust street,' its number
and th-- exact section of the curb at
which it would step would be flashed
te a beard In the lobby of the Academy
in plenty of time for its owners te go"
outside in time te beard It.
"With ten lending sections werhing
at the same time, this would greatly
Amplify conditions nnd expedite the
homeward movement."
