Rapid as has been the advance ment in the application of human knowledge to evey field of activ ity the scientific laboratories of the world are still leading the proces sion. ; In no ifield has- the' progress been greater than along' Industrial limes. The human .desire to anni hilate time and space has produced . our modern transportation; facili ties so that today the most humble citizen may have at -his service a transportation service which but a few short years ago, -within the lifetime of middle aged .persons, would have been considered luxur ious by the kings and potentates of the earth. , " 4 i Within but "comparatively short time the horse drawn cab has disappeared from the streets of our cities as a means of transportation. The horse-drawn street cars solved the fate of the old cabs As cities grew and th tendency ot the.city population was to dwell farther out from the crowded sections, the horse cars failed to meet the prob lem. In many cities the cable cars were installed- They, were a great improvement over the horse cars but they were soon displaced by the electric: trolley cars, rf The automobile came along and entire ly changed ' trolley car transporta tion problems; Suburban residen tial districts developed .amazingly under the: stimulation ot the auto mobile. 3 -;V ; , . This added to the transportation problems and created demands for extensions and increased service by the street car lines. ';The street car companies were eve? watchful of the drift of business -conditions and began studying how best to meet the new era. v; The Salem Street Railway ' Company ! has shown Its progressive spirit and its desire to put Salem in the front rank of modern cities In the matter of transportation, by introducing a motor bus service in an experi mental way as an auxiliary to its trolley lines.; It has purchased three Moreland an to busses, of 16 passenger capacity each and put them Into service .along a route starting at the corner ot State and Commercial streets; north t Court street; east . to Church . street; north on Church to Marion-f this to accommodate the, high school : east on Marion to Summer; north on Summer to east on D street to Sixteenth sjtreet-r-to serve ihe Parrish Junior high school north on Sixteenth to Market! east on Market to Seventeenth street: south on Seventeenth street to O street and return by same route to Court and Liberty; south on Liber- T.
