Morrow receives a letter from John D Sabine of Albany protesting the destination boards carried by Washington Railway and Electric Company cars at Capitol Park One. Sabine argues the signs Capitol and Library and Lincoln Park mislead, since Capitol and Library cars do not go to the Library. He urges an immediate change as strangers visit the Capitol.
