ing the time lost going to and waiting
at passenger stations at both ends of
the line, the Electric Interurban Rail-

half the time 1t now takes to make the
trip over the L. & N. Not that the In
terurban will run much faster, but the
saving will be in going to and from
the passenger stations, and in avoiding
the waits there. And last, but not
