CHEAP TRAcKLEss TROLLEY.
Large Part of the Income Obtained
by the Carrying of Freight.

N
AS regards the question of cost of
trackless trolley roads the figures fur
nished by the Berlin General Electric
Company in it's operation of the Haida
Railroad are Instructive. These show
that a trackless overhead trolley a
capable of holding twenty-five per-
sons used about the same electric cur
rent as an ordinary street car having
room for twenty-eight persons. With
the traekless railroad about rs per
cent. more electric current was used
than on regular street cars. 1t should
also be said that the maintenance OF
the cars, owing to a greater wearing
out of the rolling stock and extensive
need of lubricators, etc, is larger than
on track cars. On the other hand,
the higher cost of maintenance is met
by an expense for tracks and the
keeping of them in good condition.
A track road for every kilometre
costs from $4,000 to $4,000, while a
trackless road ear be built for 1880
to $4,000. A trackless road three Kill
ometres long, now in active opera
ton, estimated it's cost at about $4,000
per kilometre, or a total of $13.500 for
the whole distance.
The total cost of operation per kilo-
metre is 5 cents, or Is cents for three
kilometres. This 5 cents per kilome-
tire compares favorably with that OF
the great Berlin Street Car Company,
which estimates it's actual cost OF OPP
Grafton at SIT cents a kilometre, and
other street-car lines in Germany even
report 6.25 cents per kilometre.
Similar favorable figures are given
by Schiemann in the operation OF the
trackless line in the Bila Valley. Ac-
cording to the latest reports, after a
three months operation, the cost OF
the electric current used was double
that of a track road. This greater
utilization Of current was, however,
only one-tenth of the sum which track
roads require for interest and main
t%enance.
A large part of the income of the
trackless roads is obtained by the
carrying of freight, which is a source
of profit even when the passenger
traffic is inadequate. Furthermore,
legally considered, the trackless roads
are very useful, for they are not re-
ouired to meet such stringent condi-
lions as are asked of electric track
lines. AS a matter Of fact, the streets
are not at all injured by the trackless
cars, but they have a smoothing effect
on the pavement over which they
pass. 1t is believed here that even
on asphalt pavement trackless cars
car be successfully used.-Western

Ideal of. Welfare Manager.

Among the best known welfare man
ayers are to be found those who have
prepared themselves for their profes.
sion, as they would have done for the
practice of law or medicine. Like the
rest of the employees, they are paid
by the company, and, as all managers
should do, they keep the general well
fare of the company in view, balanc.
ing the interests of employer and EN-.
ploye, and, in the end, proving them
to be one and the same thing. Their
ideal is to demonstrate the scientific
nature of their calling, and they take
pains ito disclaim as an inspiration in
their labors, or as a justification OF
ways and means, any of the so-called
spirit of philanthropy. With them the
success of their work resolves itself
into a success of purely business prin-
'ciples and methods, and, unless a good
business profit is made for the com,
pany and the employee, they regard
their own department as a failure

meal, costing 65 cents a bushel,' and
some water. This is made into a
mash, allowed to ferment, and the stuff
then goes through the process of eyap-
grafton. This amount of meal, water
and molasses makes forty gallons OF
whisky, which is sold for 81 a gallon.
Any one can see the immense profit
from this illustration.
"Latterly brown sugar has been
used instead of molasses, and is a
great deal cheaper. The sugar costs
about Az cents a pound; there are 300
pounds in a barrel, making it cost
$3.50 a barrel. An immense amount
of molasses is made from a barrel OF
sugar, and the profit is almost twice
as great as in using the first method.
