the strect-car system not only in Chicago,

perfect The cars of tlle cable-linc will run
north OH STATE to Madison, there turn to
Wabash, run north again to Lake, where
they turn west to State, and then south to
Thirty-nintl street. The run will be con-
tinuous, and there will be no loss
Of time by the turning Of the cars,
or BY an accumulation Of cars at the
northern terminus of tile road. Conse-
q6ently the company will be able to run as
many cars as the public demand may re-

ion. and then the La Saiie and Washington
tunnels will be brought into permanent and
valuable use.
Que OF the greatest benefits to be expected
from tlle South Side cable-line will be the re-
naval Of .all necessity fer any elevated rail-
way scheinc in this city. The cable-line will
furnisl! the public with just as much accom-
mediation as could be obtained from an
elevated railway, minus the noise, snlokc,
and other conditions Of elevated railways.
which render the streets unnhabitable
where they are erected. The cars run
by cable can be stopped wherever
and whenever. it is desired. Stoppage at
every corner will probably he the rule. The
time for starting is nil, and the TIME for stop
ping very brief. The stations OH elevated
roads are necessarily several blocks apart,
and they are only reached after Il laborious
climbing If high stalrwayS. The time on the
cablc-road will be about us flst as OIL all ele-
yated railroad, after allowing for the loss of :
time III reaclling Stations climbing steps, and
waiting for trains OH the latter. The locomo-
ton will be safer and more comfortable, since
1t will be on the street-leyei, and over road

Tie complexion of the State street cable /
road will connect tho southern residence
portions OF Chicago with the business district /
more closely than ever before. 1t will be /
more convenient in the future for business |
men to live OIL the avenues as far south as :
Thirty ninth than it was few years ago ;
to live as far south as Twelfth or !
Sixteenth street. The saving of time
in making the journey between home
and business, the comfort of riding i'll spa
cious cars OIL Il smooth roadway, and a: suf-
icient number Of cars to furnish seats for
every one, will all be among the results equal
" possible under the cable system rs with
elevated railways, and the people of this city
will never be cursed with the annoyances,
liscolnforts, and dangers inseparable from
he latter. !
