The results of the venture, which last Ma started were lald before the automotive trans. portation meeting of the Society Automotive Engineers at Philadeiph by K. H. Fritch, president of the sub- sidiary company that operates the service. These operations include coach service at Portsmouth, N a substitute for the eleciric street ailway that was discontinued: the ibstitution of motor coach service for steam.on a 12-mile line between Ports- mouth and York Beach, Me.; an in- terstate line hetween Boston and Portland. Me.. and the use of motor coaches in the Summer resort districts of New Hampshire to supplement steam train service. At the height of the Summer season eight distinct motor coach services, covering 415 miles, were In operation. A fleet of 30 motor coaches of two dis types was used for these various operations, 18 being of the so-called street-car type and 12 of the parlor car type. Motor vehicles have become wn im portant factor in affairs of the rail roads, said Mr. Fritch.
