Water Tower Abandoned.
The famous incline railway at Pros
pect Park, Niagara Falls, ia to be oper
ated electrically according to a recent
decision of the No Yor k State Park
Commissioners. Heretofore this rail
way has alwuys been operated by water
power, but in view of the fact that
during the great ice bridges, when
tourists flock to sea this marvolona
sight, from all over the stitto, tho rail
way is uually inoperative. This has
been duo to the ohocking of the intake
with ice and very often too low water.
As there is no other moans of access
without a tedious descent and ascent,
the tourists havo been greatly incon
venienced, and the management have
lost considerable money. With abun
dant electric powor available from the
Niagara FuIIb Powor Company the elec
tric operation of the road appears to bs
most apropos.
