A com plaint charging that 3G railroads havo refused to furnish proper re frigeration facilities lor deciduous fruits was reglstorotl with tho Inter state commerco commission hero to day by tho California Krult Growers' association. It asked tho commls non also to fix a minimum capacity of '.'0,000 pounds for refrigerator cars, declaring tho present minimum of 20,000 pounds caused a serious loss by decay of fruits. OUNTY COURT EAGLE P0IN1LECII0N The county court has signed nn or der refusing tlio petition of Kaglo Point ' dry" residents for a special local option election Novombor 4 to vote tho wet and dry Issue.

Tho task is not only an unpleasant and invidious ouo, but probably a useless ono, yot the news paper would be worthless to tlio community did it not fearlessly call attention to the public work improperly performed. With tho same infinite wisdom that struck out tho words "subject to regulation by the city council," wher ever they appeared in the trolley franchise and gave away control of nil citv streets for half a century, the council has decided that the "T" rail is superior to the girder rail i for paved streets, and will without a quibble permit their use. ( Displaying the same engineering knowledge and abil- ity, the council is now permitting the laying of tics and track on a loose foundation and the bolting of rails with-' out. tie-plates. The broken and crumbled concrete fromi the torn-up pavement is thrown On the earth, rolled, .and the lies laid two feet apart upon this loose foundation,, and the rails bolted to the ties without tie-plates. It is to be admitted that tlio T rail has its champions; among engineers principally those employed by trolley' hues. Hut there is absolute unanimity tit opinion regard ing the solid concrete base, with drains to be installed where needed. The Mail Tribune has conducted an investigation for itself into track-laying in various cities. It finds that a few cities permit the T rail, that most cities compel the use of the girder rail, but that, in the words of one of the best engineers of the coast, "the style of rail is not so important as tho foundation of the track, which should be .solid." Mr. "Bullis has kindly furnished the Mail Tribune ti report of the committee on way matters, read before the American Electric Railway Knginooring association tit its convention held in Atlantic City this week. The report contains designs recommended by the committee of rails to be adopted as standards. These designs are sill of girder rails. The committee on way matters .n its report says: "In pronnrlnt; thoso designs, your committee hns given consideration to the mattor of welfht. believing that a standard rail should he com morclaliy practicable for tho nverngo use. and of proper wolgltt .to meet the nverags conditions of traffic for which the rail Is Intended; in this connec tion, however, it should be borne In mind that the me or glnior nils is in tended to be restricted to points whero vehicular traffic is confined to the railway strip or Is so congested that the railway Btrlp is continually used, and that at such points the street railway traffic is also usually heavy and continuous; and therefore a reasonably heavy rail should bo provided to meet such conditions.

TJiq trunk IllbO Jiiih tvt tnils, peclally to tho streets of .Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Detroit, Cleveland and Utlca. The pavomont Is laid flush with the head of tho rail and In some casos t Inch aboro the rail. This prevents tho wagons from following the groove of tho rail and there Is therefore leiH delay In toam traffic. In fact, all traffic on the streets pass In and out and across tho tracks with considerably less difficulty than with tho most modern glnlcr-groovod rail. The pavomont Is maintained at a less cost per mllo of track nnd with the heavy rails and vertical boaming there is less tondoccy for tho tracks to spread. After a very exhaustive Investigation, tho city of Detroit recommended the use of T-rall In pavod streets. Tho cities of Minneapolis and St. I'aul, wo crs Informed, have written tho use of T-rall Into their ordlnnncos and have forblddon tho uso of grooved rail In tho cltlos except for curves. Aftor visiting the city of Minneapolis In 1905, 1907 nnd 1912 nnd viewing tho samo tracks and pavomont each time, tho committee feols that thero aro no bettor paved street railway tracks In tho country than found thore. Tho council of tho city of Cleveland was Induced to allow tho uso of T-rall In 1912 and havo beon so well pleased with It that somo twonty-elnht miles of track will be laid with this construction In 1913.- ftcgarding the use of T rails, tho following communi cations speak for themselves: Sacramento, Cal., Oct. 10. Ueg to acknowledge your communication of recent dnto, and in roply will hay that wo do not allow "T" rails on tho main streets. Wo havo no ordinance governing' tho laying of trolley tracks, but when railroads nsk for franchises they spoclfy tho kind of rails they Intond to use, all intoriirban railroads uso tho Trilby or CJroovo rail.
