The Fresno Republican speculates
.glowfngly upon the introduction of
horseless carriages into California, and
'tion. This, because we will be rid of
a great deal of the noise of street and
road, due to horse-drawn vehicles, and
we are to be freed from the filth insep-
arabic from the use of the horse. 1t
finds comfort also in the belief that the
new vehicle will introduce new era
of roads. roads that may really be call
ed good without stretch of imagination
or torture of the truth. The "Republi-
can" counts before it informs. First
the automobile carriage is not noiseless.
Most of those in use now puff and siz-
zle, and some snort Some Of them
collapse and. some blow up. Those
electrically propelled are practically
uoiseless, but these will be few except
in a section where electrical power is
for sale very cheap. There are in Cali
fornia very few places where the street
or road conditions are such as to war
rant the investment of 5000 in an auto
mobile, and that is the lowest price
quoted for any of them. For very high
grades they are useless SO far as now
developed. They all require COMPARE
lively smooth surfaced, hard road, and
we have very few such in the STATE.
The mileage of roads upon which the
automobile carriage can be safely run
is exceedingly Limited in California, and
will be for many years. A good road
system is not created in a year, nor in
q decade and thus far we have not
taken the first step to secure one. Elk
cept in parks. on a few well graded and
surfaced streets and on small mileage
of macadam and we'll graveled roads,
the automobile win not soon be seen in
California in practical use. It will
come. OF courses In time. Indeed, It has
