"What sort Ct motor will your COM
pany adopt?'
Steam, probsb!y. Have had s0pch
talk II electricity, but we Go not fee, that
re can pay for other peoples expert
ment5. The electric m0t9r hiss not in
! my opinion passed from the stage Of an
experiment. yet. Tee bright minds are at
work on electricity SIS motive power,
ana think year or Two more will make
them prsctlcAl, hut ct present, where we
get ouS per cent. Of the power in coal
in steam ard but about 40 o. 45 per cent.
OF this result in electric poW,r, the gap
between cosl az the price in Fort Worth
and the net result in electric power is too
great. Tne steam motor # the pre- sent
day is very great Improvement over the
old in the snVip z Of fuel ana IRE edom from
noise. l. can be run so that there IS no
spprecisble difference in appe.rarcef from
common street car"

Worth line, and line to West Fort
Worth is being sgitated. The advocate
Of suburban homes will soon have his
