the passengers On the two lines.
Mr. CLARK said that experiments were IN progrrcs9s
TO secure locomotives which would consume their
own 'noke Different automatic signal systems
were being ried. Thus far they had found G1 f1l
that could be relied upon. As to he propo ed lilu-
mInaton of the tunnel bv electric lights, II was de-
care6 to be mpracticahle for the reason that their
glare would prevent the engineers from s. - the
SIGNALS of danger Mr. Clark assured the commit

attended faithful ~ to their duties no colhsion
could possibly occur. The lying switch" near
the Grand Central Depot was being considered oy
The number of brakemen employed on The trains,

complement and the custom of detachlng the DELL;
cord before reaching a safe. distance OF the Orahd
Central Depot had be n discontinued. WITH regard
