FIRST CHINESE ELECTRIC
 STREET CAR SYSTEM

Shangal, Oct. 21-The first street car system to. be financed, construct ed and operated solely by Chinese was opened a few days ago in the native city. By native city is meant old Shanghai, or the section under Chinese jurisdiction as distinguished from the International Settlement which is controlled by foreign resi- dents.
 No foreigner was allowed to sub scribe a cent of the 1SO,OO or 200, 900 teals which were raised to fin ance the project. All the construc- ton work was done by Chinese con tractors, and the management and working staff are all Chinese. The finished job is eminently satisl&cJ- ory in view of the fact that previous to this attempt the Chinese have had no practical experience in such work without foreign direction. Tn only foreigner connected with the enterprise was E. Kocher, con- sultiug engineer.
 Just at present the new line is only three miles long, running from the Chinese waterfront from the Marche de rEst to the Shanghai terminous of the Hangchow railroad An extension of a half mile to the Arsenal Road has already been be- gun, and it is planned to further enlarge the service by building a lin on the boulevard which is to on- circle the old native city, on the ground formerly occupied by the ancient city wall. The native city has a population estimated at 2S0, OOO.i Six cars are now in operation and twelve more are being made by the Chinese car builders, the Iur Sing Company. The electrical appar atus was bought in Germany.
