The Modernization of New York.

The Modernization of New York.
1t may be astonishing news to
many people in "the provinces that
New York City is finally to discard
street cars drawn by horses. During
all the evolutions of greatness
through which Manhattan has passed
the horse car has clug to the city and
is still a familiar sight, not in some
secluded nook or hanging on the out
skirts of the big town, but to be e
crossing and recrossing Broadway at
the busiest intersections of that
famous thoroughfare. Now comes
the announcement that the horse car
with the jangling bell and the
leasurely gait is really to be replaced
IN the cross-town lines with a stor-
age battery electric cars. The IN
nouncement does not say that all the
horse cars will be withdrawn, but
the inference is that at last, in this
year of grace, 1910, New York, the
largest city in the Western HEM
sphere, is to relegate a system of
street car locomotion that is passe in
towns like P~umpkinville and Cross
Roads Village.
New York is to be congratulated.
There is no need that explanations
be made as to the long life horse
cars on her streets. 1t Is sufficient
to know that the big burg on Man
haitian island is at last to emerge
from the stone age and take her
place among the up-to-date cities of
the country.-Pittsburg Gazette.
