SPRINGFIELD OBJECTED
TO HORSE-DRAWN CARS
Fifty Years Ago a RAILROAD
in the Street" Appeared to
Offer Danger.
POPULAR OPINION CHANGES
To day Every City Has Quota
of Self Propelled Vehicles
No Menace to Poor
Mans Living.

Looking out on modern city street
crowded with streetcars. automobiles.
motor trucks and variety OF other trot-
fic, II is hard TO realize that little more
than fifty years ago even horse-drawn
cars were unknown In some communities
that are among the most progressive to-
day.
w K. Chilcott. general sales manager
OF the General Motors Truck Company.
recently came into possession OF an old
clipping from a Springfield. Mass. news
paper, giving an interesting sidelight on
the attitude of that day toward inn0va-
tons which are now considered common
place.
Are the citizens OF this town" asked
the newspaper. ready TO have railroad
established in one OF our principal streets?
Already q petition has been presented
10 our Legislature, and II the project is
carried out II will certainly endanger the
lives of our citizens and reduce the value
OF real estate on the street in question
fully 80 per cent.
Besides, how many men and horses
are TO be thrown out OF employment by
the organization OF this new corporation
that are now getting constant employ
ment in the transportation Of merchan-
disc? At the rate we are progressing II
will not be long before a poor man will
have to do without food for his family
unless IL be drawn TO his door by cor
poration car or teams. Our citizens should
demonstrate in earnest against this
scheme"
To-day the sight Of self-propelled vehi-
cles going through the streets excites TO
comment whatever In fact considerably
over fifty thousand business motor wag-
ons are In use throughout the United
States More than four thousand are op-
Grated in New York City alone. and the
Chicago registrations are said to run in
the nelghborhood OF three thousand. And
the use Of motor trucks has penetrated 10
nearly every city in the land and almost
every service requiring the transportation
OF merchandise. Trucks are used for IN
dustrial, commercial, municipal and fed
eral purposes in more than three hundred
different kinds Of service.
These uses are rapidly being extended.
too as truck makers broaden out their
lines 10 meet the special requirements OF
business institutions that heretofore have
s4en served entirely by the horse. Juig
ing by the present state and city regis
trations of motor trucks compared with
those OF year ago, II is fair 10 assume
that the number OF motor trucks i'm use
will double within the next twelve months.

that is the question OF providing trans

II is near this strip, where rubber joins
with fabric, that loosened treads occur. 1t
has cost tire users millions Of dollars.
The "rivet" fabric is our breaker strip.
Note the openings in it. We force the tread
rubber down through these openings, SO
hundreds of large rubber rivets are formed TO
prevent tread separation. Then the whole
tire &c vulcanized en- masse. This is one of
the biggest of Goodyear economies, and no
other maker can use it.

Here is another vital
feature found in Good
wear tires alone.

This fabric - called
rivet" fabric - is pat
ented. We bought the
rights for $50, 900.
In every we'll made
tire, at the base of the
tread, runs a breaker
strip. 1t is usually a
solid weave.

Now, there is plenty of law. and so
plenty of constitution, under which
the Public Utilities Commission can
order the cars of one company run over
the tracks of another company. That
is very specifically provided In the
franchises, and 1t is an practice. to a
considerable extent, as matter Of con
venience and also of economy. The
street car companies do Ii by agree
ment among themselves; the commits
sion has power to compel them to do
II IL they don't agree; So why not order
them to do it in way that would
actually make a single system out of all
the different companies lines?
Some short pieces of track would
have to be laid down at junction points
to establish the physical connection
between the two systems, but that, ac-
cordng to the city authorities who have
been looking into the matter. is mere
detail 1t would not be very expensive,
and 1t would be fully compensated. ac-
cording to advocates Of the plan, in the
shortening of routes and consequent
increased capacity of the facilities to
handle the business.
The Public Uti' tiles Commission has
rot norpitted itself to this plan. II Is
merely making investigations to deter
Il 'e II lt Is practicable, and whether
there are legal objections to 1t. The
corporation counsel is examining the
legal aspects, while possible routes and
reorganizations OF service are belng
looked after in a tentative way.
The plan is understood to have been
called to the attention of the Commis-
sioners by the experience OF a Western
city which was somewhat like that or
Washington. Preliminary investigation
has convinced the utilities authorities
that the scheme would be workable,
and that it would give the public the
substance of universal transfers; uni
versal service.
1t has been calculated that the street
car companies perform vast amount
of unnecessary service, under present
conditions, because passengers are COM
PEELED to travel over long and circuitous
routes in order to reach their destina-
shortened up to the least possible mie-
age, people would have to spend less
time in the cars. which would mean less
crowdinC and better service.
II Is assumed that an effort to en-
force such an order would be met with
a terrific opposition from the street rail-
way people; but IL is reported today
that unless the companies assent to uni
versaI transfers, and agree to put the
regulation into effect pending any ap-
peal to the courts, then the order for
transfer of cars, and establishment OF
physical connec ion between the lines
OF the different companies will likely be
issued.

Mexican Petroleum Takes Drop

NEW YORK, Now 3.-For the third
successive day on the New York Stock

company were so unusual and active

next quotation that came through was
tor so, even money. after wnicn the
stock dropped rapidly to 4SA, from
which recovery was made slowly to 4slz.
Meantime the whole market, which
opened down. was slowly dropping fur
ther. Nearly all of the news was bad.
The Mexican situation seemed more az
Sravsted, the attitude of the big Leaders
toward the currency situation seemed
tlue, while from London came the news
of the suspension of R &: May q Son,
a well known stock exchange house:
1t was asserted, however, that this fall
ure was of little importance.
1t was SHOWN that for October orders
for pig iron amounted to only $4,000
tons, as compared with 100000 for Sep
tember. and 5O0,OJJ for August. On steel
rails. orders for October amounted to
210,O00 tons, big increase over Septem-
ber orders, which only amounted to
10000 tons October car orders were al
so much stronger, total of 13,0OO. ap-
proNimately, being ordered, while in
September only 6,so0 were ordered.
1t was stated today that the directors
of the Mexican Petroleum Company,
who failed on Saturday to take any ac-
ton on the dividend there not being a
quorum, would meet one day this week
to discuss the situation. 1t is hinted
that on account of the unrest existing
in the Mexican situation. tire directors
feel that ii would be better to delay
action on the dividend for the present,
regardless of the present financial condi-
ton of the company.
