Text Appearing Before Image:
each set always working under closestcontrol and at highest economy of current, labor,and time ; but it is evident that the steam locomo-tive built*to haul ten cars is seriously disadvan-taged if cut down to three cars in slack hours, orif another lighter locomotive has to be kept inaddition, to take its place for the lesser load ofbusiness. This coi.flict of conditions, making forthe steady evolution of new practice from thesingle trolley car, as opposed to the old locomo-tive method of one engine hauling a long line ofcoaches, is very lunch in evidence at the presentlime ; but it is already conceded that the multi-ple-unit system, to which the distinguished in-ventor, Mr. Frank J.

This quick-service system is al-ready needed for the convenience of the public,and will be gladly paid for by them. It may1)e noted incidentally that these multiple-unitmethods prevail now on the elevated roads inChicago and Boston, and will be those employedin New York by the Manhattan Elevated Com-pany, as well as by the Rapid Transit Under-ground. In London, where electric locomotiveswere adopted for the twopenny-tube work,experience has already indicated the preferabilityof the separate car and multiple-unit practice,which, it is now understood, will hereafter pre-vail there. Thus is curiously exemplified againthe
