STYLES CHANGING
IN TRANSPORTATION
Street Cars to Hold Business
by Best and Cheapest
Rides, Says Expert.
BY j. c. ROYLE.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
PLATTSBURG, n. Y. June 60
Styles have changed in transportation
as in other things, and it behooves the
traction interests of the country to
keep up with the styles if they would
retain their position and prestige.
That was the advice given transporta-
tlon men at the meeting of the New
York State Railways Association here
by l.. 5. Storrs, managing director for
the electric railway industry. He
urged traction companies everywhere
to put their houses in order and lay
the facts freely and frankly before the
public. He declared the public would
De fair If given service and told the
truth.
Must Improve Equipment.
Equipment must be modernized,
he stated, "and electric car and bus
service co-ordinated This admits of
no discussion. The electric railway
industry must keep up with the times
or 1t will pass out just as surely as
the horse car and the side-wheel
steamer. 1t must constantly improve
It's electric cars and supplement its
service with busses and such other
forms of transportation as are in keep

business any more than the merchant
whose shelves are filed with shop
worn and d-fashioned goods. The
selling of rides is a plain business
proposition. The merchant who deals
In the best and cheapest rides is 60
ing to get the business"
Electric Railways to Stay.
The bus is here to stay, but it is
a ridiculous assertion to say it will
wholly suQnlant electric railways, Mr..
StorrS declared. The traction com.
panies can utilize it as part of their
serTlce and he predicted that within
few years bus transportation will
be conducted on a scientific, protita BILE
and properly controlled basis with the
electric roads operating the larger part
OF the bus lines
Buses are being produced in large
numbers he continued, "and an army
of high-powered statesmen are doing
their utmost to find a place for this
output. An honest effort is being made
by a ma ajority of the leading bus
manufacturers to place their product
first with the electric railways, but,
failing in this. they turn to inde-
pendent operators.
200 Roads Have Added Busses.
More than 200 roads now are sup
plementing their car service with bus
lines, but there exists much duplica-
tion of service, complicated by a de-
sire of unseasoned transportation men
to plunge into what appears a bo-
nanZa.
This situation will not continue.
Economic laws, If nothing else, will
prevent it. Our industry has supplied
the bulk of local transportation in the
last 35 years and will continue to do
so. Moreover. it will supply 1t at a
profit. because people Of this country
will always pay a fair price for ade-
quate service once they are made to
understand the facts about it, and
we must tell them the facts"
