Kaffeesieder Barred

Neues Wiener TagbIats, Vienna.-In
a few weeks there will be no more
kaffeesieder coffee pats) in Vienna.
Under q municipal ordinance the name
kaffeesieder can be no longer officially
used, but instead designation express
ing more definitely and properly the
business of such enterprises. The new
name Of these cheerful little bowers
will be simply "kaffeehaus," and the
proprietor thereof will be known as q
kaffeehausbesitzer." and the guild Of
all the coffee-house owners in Vienna
will be known under the title, suffl-

as q means of transportation are obso-
lete," says an official of the Municipal
Electric Bureau. The bureau has been
secretly carrying on an investigation of
this matter to draft concrete plan of
replacing the existing system with nine
trackless systems in order to meet the
growing demand and to curtail expenses
necessitated under the present sys-
tenn. The remarkable increase in motor
bus service Is held one of the causes of
the poor business of the municipal tram
lines, but it Is not held advisable, from
an economic point of view, to substitute
motor buses for trans as yet, because
OF the smaller capacity of the buses.

lance passengers from tram cars, how
ever, and the buses Of private concerns
are increasing every year, constituting q
powerful menace to the municipal
trans Track repairs are becoming more
expensive every year, due to the much-
improved construction of the city
streets. 1t is apparent that both con-
struetion and maintenance expense will
be much cut down by adoption Of the
trackless system.
