The new electric cars for the Pawtucket

Everything seemed to work satisfactorily,
and the power now seems to be under the
control of the operator. A few more days
will be required to instruct men in the
operation of the motor switch, when the
tracks will be cleared and the citizens may
again look for the regular running of the
cars at no distant time.
