VIII be double-deckers and will have a
seating capacity for forty passengers The
vehicles will be equipped with four motors
or seven horsepower each The men who
are organizing the corporation claim that
they will have speed capacity of twelve
miles an hour. They will make regular
trips, covering their routes at the rate OF
eight miles an hour, greater speed than
rs now maintained by the local suburban
trains on the Illinois Central railroad, and
will endeavor TO compete with the trolley
lines and other transportation facilities
now offered to Chicagoans.
A big st. Louis car company Is working
on the contract for fifty electric omnibus
es OF tho double-decked style for the new
corporation, and when these are complet-
ed they will be placed in operation. A
fare OF cents for continuous trip will
be charged. The company proposes to run
the electric vehicles at intervals OF four
minutes and As soon as enough autobuses
can be manufactured the interval will be
reduced TO one minute. The buses will
start from the business district and will
pass around "loops" dictated by the con-
venience OF the public,
