Long ago The Times predicted that the
several lines in Richmond would be con-

plate SO extensive consolidation as has
now come to pass. But We do not view
the consolidation with alarm We know
that such Community of interest
will be good for the public X the COM

and We believe that 1t will do its part
to give its patrons the best service at
the lowest cost, for By such a course
the patronage OF the road Will be In
creased and its profits swellsd Travel
on electric lines is in large part lux

ure business Of these roads is very large.
and that is to be Increased by giving a
comfortable service at cheap prices, The
Passenger and Power Company under

will be an electric line to Norfolk and
another to Newport News. and then
there will be another big consolidat ion.
