Show A NEW PROJECT I 1 A Surge for i now motive power for the tram cus those who I 1 t a to read the ini ofil lil tha ie C t y it Is safe to sa have not ve undoubtedly noticed ehst the paver of the tramway for the hauling of gravel has not been altogether satisfactory there Is a I 1 movement an foot though as yet it Is only just born to the defects at tile situation now presents it A elf there is a great amount of time wasted and comparatively little work done tito brdek Is too tile trips of equal duration to the loading of th cars and it is tuo short to divid it by placing a switch balf way and using two tennis when the track Is moved southward two trams can be cost will be greater and tle nork less than it would be if till movement at present in its infancy matures it is said that an engine weighing fron i six to eight tons ill be able to draw a train of six cars the system runs only to the cost of for eab anim uzi der the new system would be 1600 that of the present is it takes an hour to make a trip with the team tit abo present len hagth of track when extended to t end of south main street it will require two teams at a cost of 10 to haul two cars an halir an engine will make minutes this being a very I 1 iberal estimate as at the rate of 10 miles per conr every round trip could be made in 25 minutes the engine could easily take six cars but it at four tile re will be twenty tons hauled and do posited every 45 car car tying tons this would mak trips in a day of 10 it ours which 7 make tons tran sport ed in a day at a east of tuo 0 r less than three bents per ton under the present batem there will be only ten trips daily two cars to the train or tons at a cost of or over seven cents per ton with them figures which tell no lies and which are based upon liberal estimates the bublic can ly see the vast went saving of labor and time to be gainell by ahti purchase of a ismall engine fiolle may object that such small engine could not do ilia work as above alleged but a six tort engine Is warranted to start ten tons on such a grads as tile city would use for its tramway fram the bench to the lower parts of the city six empty cars will not weigh that much by several thousand winds and they are never taken up except when empty again it may bosait thattie rails hould be too carry tile beight of the engine but it is a fact that tile carb now used when loaded weigh more than suet i an en coaled filled with water and re gidy for work others May object to tb 0 notes as danger ous and annoying but that can easily be by attaching a patent noise exhaust preventing any greater noise than that daily heard on the streets every objection it is asserted can be inet and the comparison be tween the a aunt of work accod under both systems Is nothing less than in tile one I 1 place tons would daily be et I 1 shere needed at a cost of and in the other ilice I lice tons at a cost of 1 1 M 1 11 |
