TROLLEY AGE
THIRTY YEARS
First Line SUCCESSFULLY Operated was
Put Into Existence In
Richmond.

Literary Digest: 1t Is now little
short Of thirty years since the hrst
successful trolley line was put IN
operation in Richmond, Va. An earlier
experiment had taken place at Balti-
more, but it was not until the Rich
mond enterprise was started that the
trolley was placed on commercial
basis. It had been predicted before
this that electrically propelled
vehicles would be found impractical
when used on city streets. How
completely the pessimists have been
suppressed no one need now be In
formed. Frank J. Sprague, who In
stalled the successful system at Rich
mond. is still living and in practice
in this city as civil engineer. Nor
is he yet an Old man, having been
born In 1857. A writer in Bradstreets
makes few cor ments on the sub
ject, apropos of recent address
made by Mr.. Sprague at convention
in Atlantic City:
The industry has propered to such
an extent that here are, in terms OF
money, some $4,000, 100000 invested
in it; over 100000 men find employ
earnings Of the industry approximate
~
the industry in which interest was
wholly academic at the time that asso-
citation was organized, and, in fact,
for few years thereafter.
Indeed, these street-railway men
knew much about horses; very little,
however, did they know about the
powerful force that was destined to
supplaht horses. It is related that
man who later came to be manager
of one Of the large electric railways
Of the country thus described the
motor used in the Bentley-Knight ex.
periments in Cleveland. Tt revolvej
rapidly 1900 revolutions a minute,
and / asked what sort Of volcano
it would make II it parted under the
car and was told that it would be
terrible-that the pieces would travel
two or three miles. 1t was sort Of
nitro-glycerine magazine A rush to
adopt electricity followed the Rich
mond installation, and gave to the
country in the four years following
1888, 900 miles. and in the fourteen
years to 1902 more than $4,000 miles
Of electric railways"
