. La recensione della ferrovia di strada del Philadelphia Record, come ha glanzato rue-completamente su alcune cifre, che ha mostrato una diminuzione di 40 dollari al giorno nelle ricevute della sua compagnia da viaggio suburbano lungo la linea di filiale dall'apertura di una strada di tram. Wehave per dare troppo ai nostri patroni, ha continuato. Forniamo bei terminali, raffinate stazioni suburbane, calore, acqua, luce e un posto a sedere per ogni passeggero, mentre le linee di trolley forniscono quasi niente che il trasporto. Non forniscono stazioni; affollano la passengersina, in modo che molti non hanno sede, e in questo modo manageto fa soldi. Non possiamo fare le cose

. 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 accompanying sketch shows how Smiths Cooler-ine is advertised in Houston, Tex. The banner is madeof light wood, covered with canvas and properly let-tered. It is then fastened to the trolley pole as indi-. cated. President McKinney, of the Houston City Rail-way, writes us that the scheme was very effective, andnetted the company $75 a month for its use on allforty-seven cars. Mr. McKinney improved upon theDenver idea in making the banner. RECEIVER FOR THE MADISON, WISCONSIN, RAILWAY. The situation at Madison, Wisconsin, is not unlike thatof several other places of about the same population, andis diie not altogether to a depression in business, butpartly to an over issue of bonds and stock.

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
