The S.. LouIs street-car sy.tsm.

II is justly claimed for st. Louis that
that city has now one Of the best and
soon will have the best, street-railway
systems in the country. The changing
from horse to electric and cable power
has not only greatly benefited the trav-
cling public, but the earnings Of the
companies have shown a material in
crease. The average daily earnings of
all the street-car lines in the city in
1890 were SO. 292, and in 1891 they were
s1l. .O55, an increase of s1,763, or 10 per
cent Very few lines show a decrease
in the earnings, and these lines, with
but two exceptions, are using horses
and mules
