There are over 1000 miles of COM

little doubt the total will he doubled.
Electric traction is cheaper than any
form of steam propulsion or the use Uf
horses; and there is little doubt that
the passenger traffic of tive steam roads
will ultimately lie largely diverted To
the electric roads for short distance
