practice Of transportation on both sides
of the Atlantic. In two years time the
one hundred miles of horse car tracks
had been TRANSFORMS to electrical trac-

laid forty miles of now track.

change. In the place of filthy, ill-lighted
and slow-moving horse cars. running at
long intervals, there was Installed II sSs-

the last year of the administration OF
the private company the average fare
charged was 1852 pence, while az the

Pioneer in Tramway Construc-
ton.
Liverpool was one Of the pioneers in
3tramway constructions, though 1t was
only recently that the municipality came
into full possession of these properties.
Its experience with the boosted English
conservatism Is fairly typical. After
George Francis Train and other Ancri-
cans had demonstrated at Birkenhend,-
suburb Of Liverpool-the practicabilty
of tramways. the city authorized a com
pany to use its streets for that purpose.
This was in 1869. -Four years later the
service was, SO insufficient that the city
served notice on the company to remove
Its tracks. Subsequently a compromise
was made by which the city reconstructed
the lines at the cost Of the company.
In 1879 the company entered into an
agreement with the city under which the
latter purchased the existing lines for
$4,000, and completed various other lines.
leasing the whole system TO the company
at rental of 1-2 per cent. on the pur-
chase money from the date Of constius-
tion, the lines TO be maintained at the
cost Of the city. In, 1885 the city foolish
ly made lease to the company extending
to 1916 but reserved the right to pur-
chase under certain conditions.
Two years later the patience OF Liver
pool was exhausted. The company utter
ly failed to properly manage its affairs,
It's rates were extortionate and It's service
worse 1t absolutely refused to intro
duce mechanical or electrical power,
and after due dclberation the city de-
cided TO acquire and operate the under
taking. Parliament granted them power,
and in 1897 the entire system passed into
tho hands Of the municipal authorities,

ment contributed s125coo Of this to the

the fiscal year now drawing to a close
will show profits of fully a million OF
dollars.

Electric Lighting Plants, Too.
Almost simultaneously with its purchase
of the tramways Liverpool set about
to acquire the electric lighting and power
Industry. The private company was a
fairly prosperous one. but Parliament
gave Liverpool the right to purchase It's
plant After protracted negotiations, u
price OF S2OO0000 was agreed on. or this
sum 100000 was bonus, while the bal
ance represented the actual value of tho
plant turned over by the company.
The city did not make this purchase
for the sole purpose of generating cleo
tr!city for the municipal use. 1t sought
and obtained grant which enabled 1t to
furnish light and power to all users. The
advocates of this step urged that numer-
Gus benefits would follow from the tn-
stalation and operation of a municipality
owned and operated plant. The city
would obtain Its light and power at
cost Private users would receive theirs
at a minimum advance over the actual
cost, and manufacturers and merchants
would therefore have an advantage over
outside competitors who were compelled
to pay rates which yielded large dividends
to private owners of light and power
plants Again. the surplus profits would

Overhead System in Use.
After much consideration the city de-
sided in favor OF the overhead system OF
electric traction, on the grounds of gem
aral efficiency and low initial cost. This
move at first met with much opposi-
tion, but after a few months operation
all objections were removed and the
plan seems to have general approval.
Tho overhead system Is In general use
in Great Britain. The success and safety
with which 1t Is operated comes as a
surprise to those of us who have been
educated to believe that death ever turks
near the overhead trolley wire. 1t
seems strange to see these wires IN such
crowded thoroughfares as Lime Street,
Liverpool; Corporation Street. Birmlng-
ham, or In busy Argyle Street, Glasgow
on the upper decks OF these cars one may
touch the trolley poles as he brushes past
them on the way to or from seat. Yet
nothing serious has happened thus
far On the inception of this system there
were several accidents due to Telegraph
wires falling into contact with the hlshly
charged trolley wires, and two persons
we're killed in Liverpool from this cause
but this difficulty was solved by placing
the telegraph wires under ground II IS
alleged that the firemen are not impeded
nor endangered In their work.
While conditions are entirely different
in these cities from those which eHlst
in New York, Chicago and tyrt2al Amerl-
ran cities. am of the opinion that the
comparative absence of accidents and
deaths is due more to good luck than to
good system. 1t Is true that there are
no high buildings. that there are te"
