New Invention That Makes the As
cent OF Steep Hiiia Easy
for Tonma


A novel and Important invention, the
FIRST rolling roadway ever built has
recently been completed and placed IN
operation In Cleveland by meal OF
Il teams With heavy loads are carried
up O 20foot erade-fofwufd 420 feet
and upward Go feet 10 four minutes or.
loss, says the Columbus to,l State Jour
hAl.
IN Cleveland. as In many other cities,
the wagon route for a lorge volume
OF heavy traffic Is necessarily up sew
eral steep grades. The city proper is
upon an elevation, and the docks and
several Of the principal railroad sta
lions are az the foot OF long inclines
over which several streets lead. on
Factory street. the site Of the first
roadway, the incline for many years
has been traversed by heavy laden
teams which climbed the grade at 8
snail's pace and with great difficulty.
Under the new regime the team
draws its load 70 the foot Of the roll
ing roadway and is carried to the top
without any effort at all on the part
Of the horses.
The rolling roadway IS e great end.
less belt which Is operated by means
Of electric power. and which weighs
80 tons. II Is the invention Of Col Isaac
d. Smead. OF Cincinnati
At the top Of the bin there is a
small tower. Il Is from this potut that
the electric power is applied. When
the wagons have been clamped 90 the
roadway at the start the mar in the
tower is notified by e OF an cleo
trio signal, and the roadway begins to
move at the rate Of some four miles
an hour.
Ten vehicles a be placed upon the
roadway at one time. The daily ca
pacity is about 600 vehicles. a toll o.
from ten to Is cents Is charged. FoI
foot passengers two cents toll IL
charged.
Since the completion Of this road
way the railroads IN the vicinity have
begun the erection Of a large ware.
house and are planning to put In ed.
ditional team tracks. The activities
in that locality have more than dou.
bled.
Another roadway Of this kind is tC
be built In the same city at Mandrake
street, at a cost Of $1,000 00. While the
drst one is built along the grade Of
the hill. this one will be suspended n
the air. The street will be extended
by the building Of an iron bridge and
the rolling roadway viii be at a right
angle to this extension. There vii
be substantial iron supports 66 fee
high and u feet apart under the via
duct.
An especially c~ommendable feature o
this new plan Of transportation q
that It IS especially humane 70 horses
