The Elevated Railway Company seems anxious
to lessen the noise made by the trains its Various
roads In this city. This is certainly excellent idea
but such improvements have been talked about almsst
necessarily since the roads first began operation and
1t Is difficult to that material progress has been
made In this direction. However the management Of
the roads should not be criticised severely for failing
to decrease the amount Of noise made by the rumblng
of the cars they rush the rails, since every
experiment in this direction has been failure. There

kind the engine. Almost every road in the country
has them There is why a road in this great
city should not be thoroughly equipped any rail-
road In the world. Surely 1t makes money enough.

who have the slightest regard for their eyesight.
