AIR IN -CARs.-On the subject of ventlatins
street cars, Mr.. Pfeitfer the consulting sanitary
architect of the New York Board of Health,
draws the attention Of the of the Board to pre-
yiOus report of his, in which lie advocates the
warming of the cars in the winter season in such
a way as to admit of introducing warmed fresh
air. He refers to the Atlantic avenue ears in
Brooklyn which are heated by stoves, but thinks
that a fire-bOx and crate can he affixed under
the floor in the middle of the ears, aud that by
having double floor with an air space between,
and the upper floor perforated, the cars could be
well heated aud ventilated without sacrifice of
space He gould recommend in that case the
substitution OF wire gauzc for the little windows
in the roof In summer he would have cowls
upon the roof and lamps under the eowls, the
lamps To he lighted whenever the inclemency of
the weather necessitates closing the doors.
