From time immemorial the human family has
eongegated. The earliest history tells US of
cities. And from the time of the first city. the
first assemblage of human beings which pro-
gressed beyond the size of a village, urban
transportation has been one Of the paramount
problems of city dwellers.
For the uses Of this discussion, there is no
need to go back to the troubles of the ancients
We may safely pass over the early efforts of
the race to move about. We may forget the
Sedan chair of the affluent, the jinricksha Of
the Oriental, the gondola of the Venetian, and
come along down to the horse-drawn vehicle
of the moderns.
Some genius discovered mat cars OPERATED
upon rails were desirable as a mode of urban
transportation. And from that incident we
are working.
At first there was the small car drawn labor
iously along by either mules or horses. The
demand was for better, more permanent. more
economical, and faster transportation. The
master minds of transportation have been at
work ever since, devising more SUBSTAN-
TIAL and ECONOMICAL means of getting the
city dweler from place to place.
FIXED CARDINAL PRINCIPLES governed
the research Of these men. First, the mode of
transportation must be SAFE Second, it must
be EFFICIENT; and in order to be practical,
it must be ECONOMICAL IN operation and
ECONOMICALLY SOUND IN PRIN-
CIPLE.
1t was found that for then reasonable haul.
horse-drawn cars operated on fixed track were
economical, safe. and in principle economically
sound; and millions were spent in the con-
struction and equipment of horse car lines.
Through their agency cities grew in size.
The poor man could move out Of the vidated
air of the factory district, and still reach his
work in reasonable time, and at minimum Of
expense.
For years the energies of those having to do
with urban transportation were devoted to bet
tering both the vehicle and the track upon
which it was operated. The evolution was
gradual. Each step led to the next step in
natural and economic sequence. the fixed car
dinai principles being always present. EVERY
STEP REPRESENTED GREATER EFFI-

CIENCY AND GREATER ECONOMY. and
each step had to be proven before it was
worked into the system.
The people demanded more and more of the
transportation facilities. As cities grew in size,
it was necessary for them to LIVE FARTHER
FROM The contested SECTIONS. necessi-
tating longer ride, which they wanted for The
SAME FIVE-CENT FARE. As these demands
grew, It became more and more apparent that
the horse-drawn vehicle was inadequate. 1t
was too costly to operate further into the sub
urbs for a fiye-cent fare. Therefore the de-
vising>of cheaper method was imperative, in
order that cities might grow. and that the urban
dweller might get out into pure air. where the
poor man might own his own home and his
own fig tree.
Master minds labored with the problem.
They labOred earnestly. and they labOred in
telligently.
Steam was brought as an agency to help
solve the problem. But the generation of steam
was Objectionable. 1t was uncertain, and under
the circumstances surrounding street traffic, ii
was far from safe.
It seemed that the horse was to remain SUI
preme, in spite of his inefficiency. One horse
with a lighter car. instead of two drawing a
heavier car. was substituted as a means of
economy. This was the last step IN horse car
practice, and was economically sound. While
this method superseded the horse-drawn bus
operated on fixed routes. an economic method
of supplanting the horse-drawn car was con-
stantly sought.
Then the application of electricity as a mo-
tive power was brought to a state where It
could be applied successfully to street trans
portatiOn. and the death-kneIl of the horse car
was sounded.
But this did not occur over night. Flee
tricity was tested and tried out, aud its value
proven. before the horse car was relegated to
the scrap heap of those things which have out
lived their usefulness. and been supplanted by
method which was safer, quicker and more
economical.
MORE FOR LESS MONEY has been the
announcement following the introduction of
each permanent change in transportation
methods.
