electric roads, HERALD reporter called

sIdered success. The idea that the

statements are borne our by the fact
that there are now 6fty-one roads

is mole ea-i'y controlled than the
steam railway; it takes up about half
the room that horse car system does,
and the advantages it possesses over
the ordinary systems are really too nu

lutely safe. There are virtually but
two systems Of electric roads i'll use, the
Thompson Houston and the Sprague.
The electric system has b,en in use for
six years. the one at Toronto, having
been put in In 1882, aud is yet 10 sue
cessful operation. 1t is true that it
costs twice "a much money to
equip an electric road as it does
a horse car system, but THIS Is
is more than Offset by the fact that it
does not cost hall as much to operate
the former as it does the latter.
SALT LAKE is admirably situated for
the Introduction OF the electric system,
