AFTER RAILROADS
WASHINGTON', Oct. 17. 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.
Ihu rofiixul was made upon tech
filial grouuds that tho petition was
no' Ir. U,-gm form, did not state the
city boiimmri : and did not statu that
blfiiie-rs wt re residents of tho city of
E.tuli J'oiiit. in stead of the precinct.
It it. nr.w u, to tho "dry' to man
damus the jourt, If tho election Is desired.
npHK .A! AIL 'PR I HUNK does not like to fill (ho role of,
i. objector. 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.

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.

tho samo tracks and pavomont each time, tho committee feols that thero

In 1912 and havo beon so well pleased with It that somo twonty-elnht
