freight mal express and baggage it operates at t speeds reaching sixty miles per hour Its cars are operated on lime schedules and dispatched by telephone Its I roadbed Is often as expensive and h eavy

United Stales and upon this sum 7000000 lo 1 paid in yearly dividends 300000 employees receive yearly I I wages 2oO 000000 and there are 20000 miles of track on which COOOO cars are run In 1899 ten miles of electric elec-tric road were built for every mile of steam road constructed Still It cannot can-not be said that the electric roads have achieved their great success In competition compe-tition with steam roads They have opened a field of development which does not compote with and was not open to Gleam The peculiar advantages of the electric elec-tric system of traction are frequent service flexibility convenient location clcan light and airy cars and low fares Of these piobably the moat important im-portant aro location and the ability to maintain a frequent service with small units By these means electric roads have succeeded where traffic did not pro lously exist and could not have been produced by roads steam roadsGeorse zInc H Gibson in the Engineering Maga
