According to thereports of the State Railway and Ware-house Commission, the coal consump-tion at the present time by steam rail-roads in the State of Illinois is tons. If the transportation businesswere operated electrically, assuming thecoal consumption to be three pounds perkilowatt hour, there would be a savingof 7,500,000 tons of coal. Mr. Insull, anoted writer, says: I do not know ofany greater example of conservation ofthe resources of this great state thanthe gradual electrification of its steamrailroads. ■Y^JII^F SAFETY ^U^^ FIRSTPANEL BOARDS.
