FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2. Speaking ... THE ... Public Mind MORE ABOUT CROWDED MONTE SSNO CARS IN THE MORNINGS. To The Herald. i read a card in your ’'Speaking the Public Mind Column" the other ua>, Signed by "A Hill Resident,” asking for more cars in the mornings, par ticularly, I believe, on the Monte Sano line, because of the increased business since the opening of the schools. A or two later I noticed in your ”OWs columns where the street rall ®wy company had put on the extra na.’vlce asked for and at the same time another card from “A Hill Resident” thanking the Augusta-Aiken Railway and Fleotrle Corporation for their ef fort to meet the public’s demand as called to their attention through The Herald’s ‘Public Mind.” This morning two gentlemen and myself waited for the car on Central avenue at Wingfield street at some thing like 8:15. When the car came, approximately on schedule time, I think, it was then so crowded one of the gentlemen with me said he would wait for the next car; that he did not feci like standing up ail the way from almost the top of The Hill to the city. I presume, however, that his duties ir. the city were not so urgent as mine and the gentleman’s who boarded the crowded car with me. The gentlemai with me remarked that “they were not running a double-header as they did one or two mornings last week, and that he would have to wait a quarter of an hour till the next regu lar car came.” I asked the conductor if they were not still operating the double schedule at that hour, as I knew they did at least one morning last week. He replied, that the com pany put on the extra car only one morning and then took it off. Now, to get at the real facts in the case, the car I stood up on all the way lrom the Hill to the city this morning carried, by actual count at one time, iwenty-thrce (28) passengers standing in the aisle and on the rear platform before It reached Broad street, all the seats, accommodating forty (40) pas sengers, being taken before the car had gotten three blocks from the top of the Hill. The aisle was jammed and packed from front to rear and the back platform was so crowded it was only with some difficulty passengers could work their W'ay into the tar. With these conditions existing be tween 8 and 9 o’clock. I ask General Manager Spofford of the railway com «nany to look further into the condi \ons on the Monte Sano line between ne hours mentioned, with a view of putting on the extra service. I am absolutely confident that the additional service will be furnished when he investigates more closely Into the matter and knows the real facts with regard to the unpleasant, con gested conditions on these cars in the mornings. If m arty way he finds, in his opin ion, the extra service is not warranted, 1 would like very much to read through this column Mr. Spofford’s explana tion. Very respectfully, ANOTHER HIM, RESIDENT. HOW MUCH IS A BILLION DOL LARS. To The Herald. I onder how many of your readers liaj e any conception of how much a bij ion dollars really Is. Everybody knows vaguely that it is a thousand million, some think it is a million million, —it is ail about the same. It staggers the imagination. At least it has no effect on the imag ination, because few people ever make any attempt to imagine it. We say that Rockefelleiv has got a billion; that he has an Income of a hundred millions; that he pave slid millions a year income tax. But we do not know what that means. I can give you some idea of how much a billion dollars is in this way. After the war of 1870-4871, the Ger mans levied a war indemnity on France of one billion dollars ($1,000,- 000.000.00), which the French paid in side of two years. Now supposing that the French had been unable to pay the indemnity at once and had bargained to pay it off at the rate of one thous and dollars a day. ($1,000.00 a day is a goodly sum at that.) It would have taken them two thousand, seven hun dred and thirty eight years to pay the billion. That Is how much a billion dollars is. If they bad started on the Ist of January, 823 B. C.. they would heve had to pay $1,000.00 every day until the «th of March next year. A. R. T. FIX GWINNETT STREET. To the Herald: \ Now that almost everyone has something to say about fixing the streets in various portions of the city, I wish to call your attention to Gwin nett street from Twelfth to Railroad Avenue. This is a street which Is used a great deal and It Is almost Im passable except at a snail’s pace. It does seem that the holes could bo filled up. I am sure that Walton Way and Fifteenth street are in. or rather were in, as bad a fix as your correspondent Said they were, but Gwinnett street is worse than either of them. r hope that the city street force will begin work on Gwinnett and oth er streets in the city where It la very necessary. It is true we haven't money to pave streets, but we can at least patch them. GWINNETT STREET RESIDENT, CROWN PRINCESS LEAVES.
