Editor of the Times:
Sir,-In view of the discussion now going
on i'll Richmond on the subject Of the
reconstruction of our street-car systems
l would ask: Why NOT do as some other
cities have dCEe?" As l understand

such changes and alterat lions as it may
deem necessary and proper.

about it, Personal transportation is 4
matter of such moment in modern city
life that if the supposition is really cor
rect it is Of great interest. There are
no overhead wires in Washington. Con-
gross was inexorable: florss had TO so,
and overhead trol.evs were inhibited.
Every imaginable scheme was resortad
to in order to get around the law; any
number Of experiments were mad to
try to run cars; some were run on power
by storage batteries, some on cond ElSed
air, but all efforts proved failures. Two
lines built cable systems: one tried the
underground electric wire conductors laid
in d conduit, reversing the principle OF
The overhead wire. Finally the Metro
Doltan line, running on I Street, from
Cr orge to the Capitol. introduced the
Huda-Pesth system. which consists of

so thoroughly satisfactory-the cars run
