ELECTRICITY FOR NEW HAVEN ROAD.

ELECTRICITY FOR NEW HAVEN ROAD.
Whoever got the best of the bargain relative
20 the price Of current to be supplied for New
Haven trains below Woodlawn, the public will
note with satisfaction that an agreement on
the subject has been reached. An obstacle
possibly the only remaining one-to the use Of
electricity by Mr.. Mellen's company In order
TO get in and out OF the Grand Central Station
has now been removed. The Initiation OF the
service, for which elaborate preparations have
been made, between Stamford and New York
has been awaited eagerly, not only by passen-
gers but also by those who are interested IN
the development Of electric traction methods.
An exceptionally instructive comparison will
soon be possible.
The two companies which use the 42d street
terminal are following radically different plans.
The Central leads the electric current to its
motors through third rail- The New Haven,
though 1t made the first experiments on record
with that type of electric conductor has decided
10 abandon It and resort to the overhead wire.
The latter long ago demonstrated its fitness for
trolley roads. Whether it will work equally
well On a trunk line in the operation OF which
electricity displaces steam is one of those ques-
tions that call for further illumination. Again,
the Central uses the direct or continuous cur
rent, which has the sanction of long established
usage while the New Haven employs the alter
mating current, something Of a novelty In trac-
ton work. Until recently it was conceded that
the alternating current, while promising certain
economies, was open to serious objections and
the New Haven company will undoubtedly
show 10 what extent they have been overcome
and also demonstrate whether or not the adj
Vantages which have been expected are likely
TO be Offset appreclably by disadvantages that
have not been distinctly foreseen.
These issues are primarily technical, but they
are complicated With commercial rivalry One
Of the railroads has secured it's equipment from
one OF the leading American manufacturers Of
electrical machinery, and the other from an
other Though each Of the raiIroad cnmnanies
