car wss given a trial run, and the ex-
pertinent appears to have been a COM
plete success. The car sped along with
no more noise than that of an electric
eeg-beater. Rubberized tires and springs

the vehicle. Half a million dollars has
been expended in developing the orig
inal design. The money seems to have
been well invested.
Certainly, silent street cars are a
"consummation devoutly to be wished. "

tween steel end steel implied by troll
