 The new method known as ths rol- Ter conveyor system Is similar to that which has been tn use in facto 'ies for years, although this will be the first application of the mechanism to pas stnger traffic.
 The cars will operate upon an ele- vated trestle, having a fall of three feet to every hundred, and along which rollers are placed at intervals Of T IC" feet. allowing the cars to coast ca' fly. At intervals of four hundred feei the car will he lifted Oy cable II. l. steep declivity to a height of tW" We feet above the lowest point of 'L" trestle track. and will then coast t the next simtlI" stati' |
 The entire system will cost only $S5O,OO0 and the expense of mainten- ance will be slight. Twenty motor stations will be necessary to operate the cables but each will require a smaller motor than that used on an ordinary street car.
