(By U d Press.) DETROIT, Mich., April 23.—The present-day electrically driven street car 1s on the way to the scrap-heap. The forests of poles, innumerable miles of wires and cables and power- houses are doomed. Street railway traffic will be revo- lutionized by a new street car, mo- tivated by a gasoline engine, all of its own. It will carry its own power, depending on no external agency. Cost of operation will be reduced by about one-half. will be eliminated. There will be no “peak load’ to worry about. is in substance the belief of Charles E. Sorensen, general man- ager of the Ford tractor plant in Dearborn, Mich. “Every engineer and railway man- ager knows that the present street car system is too imperfect to last’’ said Sorensen. ‘Engineers condemn the present street railway system every- where on the ground of expense. It costs too much. Great dynamos ca- pable of ca ng the ‘peak loads’ of modern traffic are required along, with tons of costly cables, food wires and bonds made of copper, great num- bers of poles, cross-arms and hangers. “Besides that the weight of the motors compel more heavily con- structed cars than the traffic really Is for. All this leads to street dan- the elimination of service that lighter, but fully strong cars could perform and all other inconveniences of which car-riders complain.
