Nous fournissons de beaux terminaux, de belles stations de banlieue, de la chaleur, de l'eau, de la lumière et un siège pour chaque passager, alors que les lignes de trolley fournissent presque rien d'autre que le transport.

. The street railway review . ter of the Philadelphia Record, as he glanced rue-fully over some figures, which showed a decrease of $40a day in his companys receipts from suburban travel ona branch line since the opening of a trolley road. Wehave to give too much to our patrons, he continued. We provide handsome terminals, fine suburban stations, heat, water, light and a seat for every passenger, whilethe trolley lines furnish almost nothing but transporta-tion. They furnish no stations; crowd the passengersin, so that many have no seat, and in that way manageto make money. We cant do things that way, and so Isee no money for us in trying to compete with the trolleys.Of course, they cant touch us on long distance traveling, but in the near future I expect to see them absorb alarge amount of our suburban travel.

The road is stocked for $75, 000 and bondedfor $150, 000, which is largely in excess of what theproperty should properly be called upon to stand, as itincludes but eight miles of track, on which are operatedeight motor c
