"What do you think OF the Elm Grove
line so far as your plan is concerned!"
81 think it could be adapted to it with.
out much difficulty. There are few curves
that would probably have to be changed,
but the grades are none Of them too steep
to be surmounted, the iron Is heavy
enough and the narrow guage is no OBJ.
lection. We have surmounted grades ex.
ceeding four hundred feet to the mile
without difficulty, and there are none on
your line as heavy as that. All our motors
are powerful enough to turn their wheels
on the rail when the car is held stationary.
There would be no use in any increased
power where the wheels failed to take
hold. The Car.motors can also be used
as engines TO draw common cars, and the
rolling stock now owned by your compa.
ny could be utilized in this way. As, for
example, II a larger crowd were waiting at
either terminus than motor car
could accommodate. one OF your pres.
ent cars could be fastened on and
hauled out as far as necessary, bringing It
back on the return trip. Your cheap coal
here gives you an advantage in the matter
OF operating the "plant," though Of course
the economy oil the system could better be
shown where more cars were needed. No
higher priced operatives.than those now
employed, would be needed, and there
would be fewer OF them. You would have
to run slow through the towns but going
through the fields you could put on squirt
and the running time on the whole line
could be very much reduced. Speed and
accommodations being bettered tho road
would have a heavier patronage and fares
could be reduced, still leaving a fair
margin OF profit to the company. l have
been making some figures for the company
and think 1t not unlikely some favorable
conclusions will be reached"
Thanking Mr.. Hardie for his explana.
tons the reporter sought the statements oil
several OF the directors Of the Elm Grove
Railway.
The following seems to be the PROPOSE,
