UNIQUE STREET
 CARS IN MEXICO

Almost coincident with the success full experiment in Port au Prince, Haiti, comes a report from Mexico City of a system of street cars built on Dodge Brothers chassis. According to William Benbow, Dodge Brothers Mexico City dealer, the motor railway was worked out only after long ser ies of experiments by the Monte Alto Railroad Co. For the real test of the ,practicability of the system, Dodge Brothers motor was chosen. The re- suits were decisive.
 "It kicked their cars up the steep est hills and around the worst curves at speed of 26 miles per hour," says MT. Benbow, land that is just about as rapid movement as any man in his senses wants on that particular rail road"
 The street car chassis weighs ap- proximately 6,600 pounds, with a wheelbase of seven feet. The trans mission is adjusted with the original rear axle of the Dodge Brothers chas- sis, and sprockets for the chains are placed in the naves of the wheels. The diameter of the wheels is 22 inches. With this car the railway company claims to be able to carry 40 pas sengers, and with the addition of trailer 80 can be transported. The 1S-mile trip from Mexico City into the interior takes about an hour.
 The operation of the motor-railroad has been so successful that the Monte Alto officials are planning to add eight or ten more cars of similar con- struction. Railroad officials in Desague, San Rafael and Atlixco are also studying the possibilities for sim liar cars in their territories. With this novel use of Dodge Broth CTS chassis, says Mir. Benbow, the Mexican officials are ushering in a
