The ledgers which are 10 be dis

inches By one foot nine inches, and
weigh about as much as tre average
man cares to carry.
In these massive volumes all ship
movements are recorded. The date

Cincinnati Drops
Archaic Trolleys

CINCINNATI. -(F1- Ci%ncinnati's
double trolley system for its street
cars u going into the discard.
The sight Of the cars changing
through city streets with two troll
ley poles extending above them, roll
ing along a double set az trolley
wires, long has been a curiosity 20
visitors.
The popular conception was that
the two trollcys gave the cars power
20 navigate Cincinnati's hills. But
engineers Of the traction company,
asking authority 70 install the uni
vcrsal single trolley system, pointed
out that the opposite was true.
Double trolleys were installed In
1889, after q war with the Cincin-
natl telephone company. The city's
first electrified traction line was
operated with a single trolley but
the telephone company asserted the
grounded circuit Of the system inter
tcred with telephone coniuits. and IL
won a court injunction requiring in
stallation Of double trolleys.
The traction cimpany eventually
won out. but in the meantime il had
completed electrification Of the
street cars with double trolleys.
