ASHES ON TROLLEY CARS.
New system of Collection to BE Used
in Brooklyn.
Philadelphia Record.

Philadelphia Record.
Contracts have been entered into for the
purpose of carrying the ashes and street
sweepings in Brooklyn over the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit lines TO the lowlands at Coney
island and Jamaica bay. A unique feature
OF the work will be that all the handling
will be done electrically none of the ma
terial being touched by hand from the time
II is shoveled into the carts of the street
cleaning department on the streets until il
is finally disposed Of for filling in waste
tracts of land in the outlying districts. BY
employing the new system the city expects
to effect an annual saving of upwards of
$4,000.
Thirteen stations will be built on the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit surface lines 20 re-
ceive the ashes, says the Electrical World.
They will be located within a radius of
about mile from one another. To each of
these stations the city horse carts will carry
their collections from their respective dis
tricts. The carts will drive into the sta
tions, which will be inclosed as to both roof
and sides, to prevent the scattering of the
ashes, etc The material will be automat-
ically shot into large steel bins fitted with
light steel covers. These bins will each
have a capacity Of ten cubic yards. Each
station will have room for about twenty
| four bins. The bins will remain covered ex-
cept when the wagons are actually dumping
into them. When filled they will be raised
by an eectricl crane on to fiat cars for con-
veyance TO Coney island or jamaica bay.
The electric crane for each of the stations
will be of ten tons capacity each. The span
will be thirty-fve feet. They will be regl-
lation fiat cars. Fifty will be employed in
the work. Four bins will be carried on each
car. On arrival at the ultimate destination
each bin will be picked up by an aerial
tramway and carried along the wires TO be
dumped wherever desired The tramways
Will be built on wheels to permit of
their removal from place to place. They
will be electrically operated
Work on eight of the receiving stations
has already been started. The locations are
Ralph avenue, near Atlantic avenue Fourth
avenue and Fourth street Third avenue and
Third street; No. 224 Adams street; Hopkins
street. between Marcy and Nostrand ave-
nues; corner OF Broadway and Fulton
street; Fulton street and Tompkins avenue
and Fourth avenue and Thirty-eighth street
The contract is for period of five years
About 100000 cubic yards OF ashes, etc are
to be handled annually. This means about
10000 tons. The contract price between the
American Railway Traffic Company and the
city is 80 cents per cubic yard The saving
TO the city by the new system is expected to
be nearly Is per cent. The horse cart haul
alone Will be reduced 81 per cent. The new
system Will be in extensive operation bv

The design given here shows a very pret-
ty Colonial-style house suited for a fifty
foot lot. II could be made TO go on a thir-
ty-foot lot by making it six inches
or a foot narrower, this allowing OF
hve-foot walk at the side. The
exterior. though simple. has a very
substantially comfortable look, which
is carried out by the well-arraaged and
artistic interior. The house is clap-boarded
or sided. with shingled gables and roof.
The windows are very specially good. There
Is a very pretty reception hall. with the
stairs at the back having a pretty seat

O, he was ONE with eagerness
To reach his native glen;
Three months Of Paradise, no less,
His visit promised then.
He scorned to fret, as many do,
While waiting for the THREE,
But softly hummed a Scottish TWO.

Yet all too long his stay;

He finds it passing strange,
And TWOs conjecture to divine
What can have wrought the change.
