His Installation, repair and complaint departments aro relatively small and can be closely watched. Ku can know that -everyone of his cus tomers is getting courteous und ef ficient service from tho company. A railroad with thousands ot sta tion agents, freight handlers, and trainmen constantly in contact wth its public has no assurance that ir is rendering the kind of service that tho management may earnestly de sire to give. A single employee through his thoughtlessness or carelessness can make enemies for tho whole'syslem. Tractions suffer the sumo hujidleap to n smaller ex tent. The problem of creating nnd maintaining good will is extremely difficult for railroads and tractions and relatively easy for light and power companies. "When i potential murkcls urn fonsidcrcd, the nverage power anil ighl company has much more room for expansion than cither of Iheso other groups. Wo arc using but a small fraction, of tho poten tial power. : New hydro power sites can be developed and output can be increaseil to take care of an ever expanding demand: while the new mercury boiler presents won derful opportunities in connection with steam power. 1 lie late lr.

Railroads will enjoy an in crease In freight traffic as popula tion becomes more dense und as the volume of general business In creases, but they have no such field for expansion as that open lo this favored class of utilities.

One man cars havo prov en a temporary relief in many cases hut tho tendency at present is to Increase tho pay of the 'one man' so that within a few years the pay roll promises to be as large ns ever and nothing of permanent value will have been gained. There is no reason, however, why Ihey should not opernto their own bus lines. They may be able to make the motor bus show a profit where It has. not been possible to break oven in the operation of electric cars. JClcclric IAiics. :Thero Is. however, a third class of tractions which is worthy of special study.. I havo recently ex amined ono of these properties operating .passenger and freight service between two cities forty miles apart. . Tho figures show that this electric lino can carry bolh passengers and freight cheaperthan its steam competitor. It actually provides tho most economical transportation between theso two cities and no nuto bus can com pete with It as to Bpeed. As long ns such a condition exists its main tenance is not only justified but it should bo able to operate at a Bound profit. I bellcvo 1haf this class of high speed double track line. Is fundumentully sound and that it I will gain, business rather ifian lose j It over tho next ten years. The se- I curltles of these double track Inter- j urban lines together with those of tho strictly urban transit compan-. lea Justify the serious consideration of the Investor and should be in cluded in a broad list of public I utility holdings.
