STEAM TO ELECTRICITY.
Milwaukee Road Will Equip Chica-
go Branch With the Trolley.

Chicago, March 2.-Roswell Miller,
president of the Milwaukee road, stated
today that it has been decided to equip
the Chicago & Evanston division of the
road with an electric trolley system.

exclusively to suburban service. It has
never paid. The change in the motive
power from steam to electricity is to be
made with the view of reducing eX-

service The understanding has been
that when the change was made it
would be under the auspices of the
Northwestern elevated road, but Pres

a mistake and that the Milwaukee
would continue to operate the division.
