In Developing a Comprehensive Trafic System Tharough Study ef the Fleow of Traffic Snould Be Made and its Probable. Increase Taken Into: As- count. " In the operation of a street rafiway system the equipment will depend. as in the case of the power house, upon the conditions to be.met. If the system is a local ome direct current at 600 volts. should be adopt- ed, but it she. lines run into distant fubarbs the best current to adept is the single phase, and the voltage may run to- 10,000 or 15000, thus reducing line loss. - I'be equipment of the cars should be such as 1o rup on either the 60U volts | direct current in the city or on the single phase. hjgh roltage current in the subaurbs, thus puassing to and from the city without interruption. The. substations for stepping down the high voitage current should be welt situated along the line to obtain the ‘most economieal power ¢ istribution. ‘They are preferabiy located arvund the outskirts ot the city on ‘he various iines, so that high voltage current will not be breught into the cirr. The dis- tribution system in the eity itself sbould be underground. a method which, though more expensive than the PLANT AT DRESDEN SUPPLYING ELECTRIC POWER TO STRERT BAILWAYS. overhead distribution system, is other- wise preferabte, due to the many ad- vantages It possesses. In developing a comprehensive tratic system thorough study of the flow of traffic should be made and fts probabie increase taken into account. Where the traffic is heavy or likely to grow to large proportions, especially where the baul is long and heavy, the ques- tion of subways and elevated roads should be cousidered. even though the necessity is not imperative, as such rapid and convenient means of transit o outlying districts will have the ef- fect of developing such sections and of causing the city to expand much more rapidly than would otherwise be the case. The same is also true to only a less degree in the case of subur- ban trolley lines. In the development of a traction sys- tem much depends on the comfort and convenience of the traveling public. The equipment should be up to date and attractive in every respect. Cars should be ot appropriate design and of peat appearance. Means of access should be easy; the seats should be comfortably designed and preferably crosswise in the car, as the public is paying for a seat and should bave a seat and pot a cruwded bit of a side bench or a strup to hang ou by. Abroad it is customary for. compe- nies cailing for bids on electric trac tion systems to receive not only spect Geations of cars, but also detailed de signs, showing color schemes and fn- terigr decorations. The companies are thus fn position to select the most pleasing and effective designs of cars instead of takiyg whatever cay manu- facturers may be pleased to twn ou In bandling traffic the convenlence and interest of the public as well as of the operators is best served by bav- ing a upiform fare rate instead of & variable scale of fares and by the is- suance of transfers at all intersec- tions. Such transfers should be issued at the time demanded by the passen- ger, though preferably when emtering the car if the ingress of passengers is not thereby interfered with. Jf de- manded on leaving the car trafiic s Hkely to be deiayed. Abroad passengers are seidom al- fowed to stand in cars, and operators are obliged to supply sufficient cars 80 that there will be seats for all. Om paying his fare the passenger gets & ticket with the destination pmncbed, similar to our system of raflroad tick- ets, and this ticket in many cages en titles the passengers to reach his des tination over any lines that intervene It has been demonstrated that over- grazed stock ranges on the national forests can be brought back fo use under a system of regulated grazing faster than if they are left unused.
