Fourteen Feet in the Air

The average cost of building a rail-
road is about $4,000 per mile, where
the line of road is over comparatively
level ground. Where cuts, fills, bridges
and tunnels are 20 be considered. the
cost per mile might run to several
hundred thousand dollars. F,elts'
Suspended Auto Motor Railway" sys-
TEN, of course, would eliminate all the
obstacles that are encountered in steam
railroad building, and he figures that
q double track line in city or country
would cost about $4,000 per mile He
thinks that the height OF such a road.
either In the city or across the coun-
try, should be about 141z feet from the
ground. that is, the bottom OF the cars
should be that distance above the
ground, thus allowing adequate space
for any kind Of a vehicle to pass under
the cars.
Felts always has been of an inventive
turn Of mind. Even as a boy he was
continually planning to make some
thing do something. Nothing in the
shape of wood or metal ever went to
waste around that boys home. Young
Felts always would put ii to some use
that use, in many instances. provid-
ing the family and the neighbors, too.
with numerous surprises. There wasn't
one OF the neighbors who did not say.
