A device 10 make street cars in this

District Electric Railway Commission,
and Secretary Eddy of thai body will
communicate with the inventor a Bos-
ton man, TO ascertain whether the plan
is practicable
This proposition was considered by the
commission yesterday afternoon. other
matters considered included the question
Of high steps on street cars, the over
crowding of cars. smoking on the cars,
and the advisability of having signs
placed on the sides OF cars.
The board decided TO recommend TO
the Interstate Commerce Commission
that "all new street railway cars put
into operation within the District after
October l. 1908, having a distance from
the car floor to the rail of more than 30
inches shall be provided with two steps
between the rail and the car floor no
step having a rise of more than I6
inches.

on the question of overcrowdiug, the
commission decided 90 ask the Secretary
of State to request the cOnsuls general
in Great Britain. France. Germany. and
Austria 20 obtain information for tue
use OF the commission concerning such
regulations or ordinances TO prevent
OverCrowding OF cars as may have been
enacted in their respective countries.
The complaints against smoking on
the cars were considered, bat the com
mission found that it was iustifiaole
OF the rear platforms of closed cars.
and on the rear seats of open cars.
An investigation as to the advisability
of having signs placed on the sides
of cars viii be made, the commission
having so decided at the meeting.
Conditions on the Rockville and Ten
leytown line were discussed, and IL was
decided to mold a public hearing on this
matter at $3.50 o'clock on the afternoon
OF October ;. A hearing on the COM
plants against the service on the

handling of fiue dust and Stag and
general maintenance. The larger por-
ton of this represents fixed charges,
as the starting of the third and fourth
furnaces only increased the labor
costs from $125 to $3.50 daily. AS a
result, il is now figured that the entire
battery of eight furnaces and all in
cidental departments thereto can be
operated for 500 daily per furnace.
The most forceful illustration of
the value of the mechanical appliances
recently installed is 10 be found in a
comparison of past and present LABOR
costs. II is understood that frmeT
costs for the work here under discus
sion ranged from 81 TO s1.25 per ton,
while with four furnaces in operation
these figures have been reduced to "a
cents, with every indication that when
the full plant is rendering service this
item viii be cut to 25 cents.
1T should be understood that the
present labor cost of 81 cents or the
prospective one of rs cents, does not
represent the item of direct smelling
operations, but includes every charge
incurred from the time the ore is re-
ceived from the cars until the refined
product is secured.
Under the former arrangement the
ore contents of the blast furnace
charge was Sc per cent and that it is
now 50 per cent is due to the control
Smelter Superintendent Shelby has in
the charge calculations by reason OF
ton running not more than so per
cent of the normal
The leading contributing factors to
the present production are the Over
sight. Vete Grande, Puerto Citos, Eli
sa and Duluth, though ship
ments from the latter are of quite linn
tied volume.
Most liberal dimensions have been
attained in the development of the
Cananea-Duluth ore body, now opened
for the supplying of 500 tons of ore
daily for period of four years. The
fire at the Capote shaft has been ex-
til guished and production from this
source will be available when a furth-
er increase is decided upon. With
these mines and the Cananea Central
in resrve, it is apparent that the com
pany is in a position to broaden its
scale OF operations on short notice.
1T need not be in the least surpTis-
ing if the rate of production of this
company is brought up to from $4,000
600 to 100000 pounds per annum,
within very brief period, while in
all probability the first part of next
year will see its entire eight furnaces
in commission, when the Cole-Ryan
group of properties promises 20 rank
first in production, if not also in oper-
ating costs"
