Lately some of the trolley. managers
have been disposed to think that II may
after all be best for the trolley lines moi
to rely wholly upon the highways. When
country trolley service was first begun
the impression was that the highways
would furnish not only the cheapest and
most convenient route. but that they
would also be the most satisfactory fol
the rural customers of the road. There
seems now to be a disposition. however.
