electric power in this line are very
great, and the newnesS of the field rem
ders it an interesting subject for the
discussion of electrical experts and
mining engineers. The discussion re-
lating TO electric installations was
broad and comprehensive, and
was from the most practical
standpOintS. and the interchange
of opinions between the agents will I'M
doubtedly result in benefit. Additional
interest is given to this department of
the electrical transmission of power,
from the fact that the American Asso-
citation of Street Railway Officials is to
meet on the 10th inst. at the same hotel.
Street railroad companies are investi-
eating this new method of propulsion of
street cars with view to its universal
adoption. The power is much more
satisfactory means of transporting the
public, and is in the true sense rapid
transit.
