An instance of this has occurred at
Davenport, Ia, where it has been

the operating expenses were increased

PROGRESS OF RAPID TRANSIT.

Statistics Prove That the Horse Car Is
Fast Losing It's Usefulness.
At the convention of the American
Street Railway association at Buffalo,
in many ways one of the most impor-
tant gatherings of the kind ever seen in
this country, President Lowry congrat-
ulated the association on the progress
which had been made in the work OF
the association since its organization in
1882. He alluded to the fact that the
United States government had recog-
nized the growing Importance of city
passenger traffic by incorporating in its
census statistics for 1890 Il report on
street railways in cities of over so, 600
inhabitants.
In this report fifty-six cities are in
cluded, and out of a total of 3, $50 miles
of track possessed by them 2, 351 miles
are operated by horses, 260 miles by
electricity, 255 miles by cable and 221
miles by steam. In the smaller cities
electricity is being generally adopted,
and there are already in operation in
cities and towns under 80, 600 inhabit-
ants about 1, 800 miles of electric street
railway. Mr.. Lowry added:
[ am so thoroughly convinced that
electricity is the coming power for
street railways Except heavy grade,
where the cable is best suited), and
that it viii prove effective as a means
of rapid transit in cities, that believe
this is the last convention that will ever
seriously consider horses for the opera
ton of street railways. When the peo-
pie of a city clearly understand the
great benefits of rapid transit by cleo
tricity or other improved motive power
over horses, they will demand that
their city authorities grant such rights
as will enable street railway companies
to operate by the most improved
methods.
Heretofore street railway securities
have been looked upon with favor by
the financial world However, since
they have been operated by electricity,
the financial men of the country are
looking to its development and appli-
cation to street railways as an addition
al reliable security for the investment
of savings and trust funds. This should
