surprise. Representative Meyer Of

stated authoritatively that the measure

the United States Consul General Ma
son at Frankfort. Germany. He shows
that while the Germans have not hunt
nearly as much street railway and
cable and trolly roads rs we have.
they have investigated the subject or
nm ideal motive power. with their usual
thoroughness, and as the result OF ex-
haustive experiments have determined
that the gas motor is the cheapest and
best OF all means Of power propul-
sion, The trend OF the best expert
opinion is In that direction. and this
has come at a period when electricity
seemed to be on the point Of replacing
and aupersedlng all other forms OF
motive power The report tells Of the
great expense of the cable In CON

trolley, and OF the high operating cost
and unrellablllty OF the underground
electric system, and then coming back
to the gas motor ho describes expert
ments that have been made with It IN
