Tracxless trolleys, while strange
to Seattle, are familiar sights in
SO other large cities. In appear
ance they are similar to street
cars and operate by electricity.
Due to the fact that their pneu-
matte rubber tires do not permit
a return current to pass through
the rails, a double trolley wire is
required. That is the only install
lation necessary to put them into
operation and the only line main
tenance that IS required is the
rare work needed on the wires.
With long trolley poles, coaches
weave easily in and out of traffic
and glide up to the curb to load
and unload passengers. No one
need brave the dangers of auto
mobile traffic to reach the center
Of the street while boarding one
of the new trolleys.
Under the modernization pro-
gram, Seattle would have 240 of
these trolley coaches on main-tra-
veled routes and 135 basoline mo-
tor busses on feeder lines serving
outlying districts. Many of the
buses would operate directly into
the business area, obviating the
necessity for passengers to trans
fer.
City officials and Eastern con-
sultants who devised the plan as
sert the new equipment is more
than adequate to meet Seattle's
transportation needs at present,
and for several years to come.
Operating costs also win be re-
duced materially and revenues be
increased sharply. No change in
the fare is contemplated.
In other cities where similar
transportation systems have been
installed, revenues have increased
from "a to So per cent. This fact
has convinced Seattle officials the
undermining program is the only
way by which Seattle's Street
Railway can be pulled out of debt.

USE OF HOSPITAL
ChiIIum Heights Citizens As.
SoCiation Hits Maternity
Ward Plans.

Objection to the proposed use Of
the old tuberculosis Hospital site at
Thirteenth and Upshur streets NV,
by Gallinger Hospital for its maternity
ward was voted last night by the
Chillum Heights Citizens Association,
which held the area should be used
for recreational purposes.
The meeting, held at the Keene
School primarily was one to plan
future business to be taken up by the
association.
1t was the sense of discussion that
the National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission should be backed up
in its opposition to proposed reser-
voir in Fort TOtten Park. The COM
mission held last week use OF the
historic site for subreservoir would
jeopardize an important link in the
Fort Drive program.
The association voted to ask Capt.
Herbert c. Whitehurst, director Of
highways, for a list of streets to be
improved in the Chillum Heights area
in order to recommend which were
best to develop first in his fve-year
highway Improvement plan.
Issues on which preliminary dis
cussion WAS held were the new increase
in street car token fares, the char
acter and rate of present District
taxes and the looming increase in the
District budget.
More heads of District depart
ments should be like Fire Chief
Charles E. Schrom. who said he could
get along on $4,000 less for 1899 and
still give the same service" A. J.
Driscoll. visiting president of the Mid
