TO PUT MOTOR CAR
IN REGULAR SERVICE
President of Lehigh Valley Railroad
Is Expected Here Monday
Some Dissatisfaction.

According to information received
today President Thomas, of the Le-
high Valley railroad, will be in this
city Monday to inspect the new
motor car which Is being tried out
on the local division. 1t is also un-
derstood that, although the car has
not been as successful as expected, it
will be put on regularly after next
week, In place of the passenger
train between here and South Plain
field.
The car, which made it's first trip
Monday, cannot, it is said, make the
speed of the locomotive. 1t was
twenty-five minutes late on leaving
this city for the first trip this morn
ing.
Last week the cost of running the
locomotive was taken, and this week
the cost of the motor car is being Sc
cured The difference in cost be-
tween the two is said to be slight.
The Black Diamond express will
make its first summer trip tomorrow,
and a new schedule will go into eff
feet on the local division.
The motor car will be continued
next week.
