with the electric locomotive will be an
electric trolley service between Albany and

Steinmetz, just as already il has cut deeply

traffic
DR.. Steinmetz made the statement that
the 500-volt current il not dangerous 10
human life.
only In exceptional cases said he,
'is il capable Of killing a man. We some
times read in the papers that a man has
been killed from drinking ice water but
drinking ice water is not dangerous to
life in all cases.
He further said that more than 900 volts
cannot be safely used in electric railway
work. The present motors are designed
to handle this voltage. and it would be a
hard problem 10 design other motors to
carry higher voltage.
