Thistheory has shown good results after five years prac-tice with rail which had been condemned as too poorto weld, six years before we paved it. It has now beenpaved five years, or eleven years extra in all, and is ap-parently good for as long again. During that five yearsthere has been no paving maintenance, and the trackmaintenance has been cut to $500, or 3 cents per footof track. On one division alone we have 12 miles ofthis construction, and the actual maintenance has been$900, or one cent per foot of track. In addition to prolonging the life of rails, we have,with the use of the electric welders and grinders, savedon one division, in one year, $3534; also, in repairingrail breaks in permanently paved streets, the sum of $2000 was saved,
