Electric Heat Was Too Warm
Passengers on the electric line between Plymouth and Wayne are finding the heat from the electric heaters too great to sit down upon. Says the Detroit Evening News:
Last winter passengers on the D., P. & N. electric line nearly froze to death every time they took a trip on the "dinky" cars, but it is different now, and the new arrangement is both novel and healthy. Live wires are run through the cars, being places under the seats. The seats are covered with a piece of carpet, and the faster the cars run the hotter the seat gets, and sometimes it gets too hot for the comfort of the passenger. If a passenger succeeds in riding from Wayne to Northville at a continuous sitting will get a prize donated by those who have tried it, and failed.
