Editor Of The Phenir What is the
increased cost per mile per annum for the
repairs or maintenance of a street having
car tracks, over and above the same street
without car tracks?
w. l.. Dickinson, superintendent of
streets OF Springfield, Mass, having made
report upon this subject, few items
taken from that document will tend to fur
nish the answer to the question which is
here asked
Central street, width Of macadam %
feet; annual cost without car tracks at the
rate OF S2O4 per mile; annual cost with
car tracks $500 per mile.
Maple street, width of macadam % feet !;
annual cost without car tracks at the rate
of sos per mile; annual cost with car
tracks $71S per mile"
The cost on nine different streets in
springfield without car tracks is from STA
per mile to $500, but In one year in ST.
James avenue, with the introduction of car
tracks, the cost of maintenance is given at
the rate of $1,000 per mile.

for use in the family residence, is the incan.
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gen

the office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and
want it done at once; no more lamps for me.
Last night lamp tipped over and 1t came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and | take no more risks"
