the Warren and Bristol road entirely by
electrical power. but shall not run any
trains. as this has been found not to be
feasible.

those of the Suburban road and two or
three will be started at a time accord
ing to the traffic at different hours of the
day.
"on arrival of cars from Bristol, War
rem or Fall River at Mauran avenue, our
Conductors and motormen will turn them
over to the conductors and mot pr.nen or
the Union Railroad company. who will
bring them to the Union passenger sta
ton on Exchange place. but the pas
