The gardeners of Paris get their

placed on land with a slope to the

TAXICABS SPREAD
TO EASTERN CITIES
Pittsburg to Have Twenty Of These
Cars Added TO Its Street Serv-
ice in the Near
Future

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Feb. 2O.-How
rapidly the use Of the motor cab is
spreading among American cities is in
dicated by the fact that an order for
twenty of them for use in Pittsburg has
just been placed with the H. H. Frank
lin Manufacturing company by the
Pittsburg Taxicab company. These
twenty closed cars are to be delivered
early next month.
The motor cab wherever introduced
finds an immediate field Of activity
The Franklin cab is one which pro-
vides for six occupants, including the
driver. The interior accommodates four
passengers, two on a rear seat and two
on drop or auxiliary seats.
The body of the motor cab is of the
landaulet type, the top being made so
as to turn back. The exterior painting
is of Quaker green, with black moldIng
and lower body panels. The interior is
finished in dustproof light cloth and
leather, and the front seat is uphol-
stored in green leather.
The engine has 1S-hOrse power; its
four cylinders are air-cooled. Being air
cooled, the engine has no water to
freeze and no water jackets, radiators,
pumps or pipes to burst, a special ad-
vantage in a motor cab, which in SER
vice has repeatedly to be left standing
in the open street in cold weather.
Full elliptic springs and a laminated
wood chassis frame, which take up the
shock of rough pavements, insure easy
