"For the unseat." Mr. Vanderford
said, ''the trolley ear system on the
Salisbury-fipeneer and the Park lines
will not be changed. , Everything is
going along on these lines satisfac
torily, in the old way and thev will
not be disturbed until the interurbati
is built. The storage battery cars, how
ever, will-take the place of the trolley
can in due tune." ,
as siaiea in tne fost on one or

power, and in fact marks the begin
ning of a revolution in the industrial
world. It is sure to be adopted for
