The top and ends of the boardare finished with teak molding, and theilluminating lamps set along the top feeder wires lead from the bottom term-inals of the switches through the floor andalong the conduit underneath to the end ofthe building, thence up and out. Figs. 4 and 7 show views of the switch-board. Fig. 5 is from a photograph of oneof the 1,300-h. p. units and Fig. 6 a generalview of the generating room. Fig. S shows the exterior ofthe station. At the present time the maximum output of the stationreaches 6,000 amperes and the average for 2 i hours is 2, WORKING RESULTS ON ELECTRICTRAMWAYS. (From the Electrical Review, London.] It is alwajs interesting to get plain talk from go-aheadtramway men, and the Street Railway Review there-fore does a good deed in setting up a symposium on thecomparison of electric lines with one another, according tothe cost per car-mile or per passenger. The symposium,however, is all one way, a practically unanimous opinionbeing expressed in favor of adopting the cost per car-mile as
