and by electricity. without any human agency
Every sixteen miles over the entire system are
small powerhouses, in which are gasolene engines
and batteries which furnish the current for the
operation of the eight blocks Of their respective
circuits Afaintainers or electricians are stationed
at each of the power houses. which are connected
by telegraph and telephone. and during the day
visit and inspect every block in the circuit assigned
TO them
Should the electric circuit stop. or the wires
break or any accident occur to prevent the auto
