It has Mien been asserted that Toronto has hieved the arly ideal conditions with regard to street railway ’ and its relation to the public to on this continent, or, for that matter, in| the world. It must be admitted that the situation does not present to the super ficlal observer attractions as war valts the husiasm with which it has been clted an example worthy of all| emulation, especially recommended to | ymaha for dealing with its | sroblem of street railway administration. Whether this first impression will be sus- tained after experience or deeper study is not exuetly in point. The information ga ered here as to the local attitude of public brings out considerable vergence of opinlon exists as to the rallway administration sing.

T have ridden on many lines in many parts of the clty and have noticed the never falling care exercised by both conductor and motorman to give the public its due in the way of| polite treatment and the service for which the fare is pald. This markedly is true at the present time, when a wreat many strangers are present, going about the city on street cars, asking all manner of ques. tions, and being carefully directed on their way and otherwise handled with a consid- eration that I never recall hiving encoun- | tered on a street railway In the United States. Nor must this be in anywise at- tributed to the servility of a servant, for I have once at least noticed a conductor politely but firmly calling the attention of a distinguished visitor to an infraction of the rules which would have passed with- out notice in Chicago or Omaha. The facts concerning the relations be- tween the company and the public T have gathered first-hand from the officers of the city and the company. I made my first inquiry at the office of the mayor, where I was given the history of the street rail- | way service In Toronto, from its beginning in 1861 to the present. At the general offices | of the company I was met with equal | frankness, and the information gathered at the eity hall was supplemented by the general manager of the company. Thus the may be aceepted facts as facts, for they come stralght from headquarters, being mainly collated from published reports, from city records and from the they will be company’s books, such submitted, without tracked all the way, equipped with the latest of cars and provided with all con veniences, save one.

The accompanying diagram will explain all the circumstances. The largest circle represents the earth's penumbra, and the one next in size and concentric With it the earth's shadow. The letters N, S, E, W, denote the cardinal points, and the dlagram must be held in such a way when facing the moon that the line N S points to the north star straight line s the moon’s path. The num- bers on It locate the moon's center at 13, 1, 2 3, 4 5 and 6 o'clock, and the interven- ing marks denote its position for every ten minutes. The seven small circles represent seven views of the moon at important moments. When the moon's center is at A, at 12:12 a. m., the “moon enters penum bra.”" When it is at B, at 1:11 a. m., the “moon enters shadow,” and the eclipse properly begins. At 2:14 the “total eclipse | begins” and the moon is completely im- | mersed in the earth’s shadow. The middie of this total eclipse will occur at 2:% and its end at 3:%.

Bach side expresses confidence #h winning the final decision. ase Plants From Cliy. The history of the Toronto rail- way system may be briefly epitomized. In street | 151 a company wes given a charter for | thirty years to operate a horse car line. In 1891 when the franchise expired, the city took over the plant, paying $1,000,000 therefore. The sum was determined by appraisoment. For several months the city operaged the plant at a small profit, the matter of its electrification being un der consideration. Beginning with Septem- | ber, 1891, the present company took the management of the plant, and installed the electric equipment. From that time till the end of 1908, the company has paid to the city, exclusive of its direct taxes, sum of $,2 which profitable return on $1,000,000 made than nineteen years ‘u., The company took the plant under | the reasonably of Is a Investment an its agreement for thirty years, so that it has yet eleven years to operate in. At the end of the period the plant reverts to the city. Some dlscussion is already heird as 10 the probable action of the city at the | expiration of the present contract, but it |1 very vague ana nebulous as vei. The | | company is capitalized at $5,00000, and pays 7 per cent. The stock is quoted on | | the local boara at around 124. It is not | & very active stock, although the trans- | actions tn it are considerable. It is mostly | hela for investment, ana would be attrac | tive, owing to its dividend rate, were it no: for the fact that it suffers much as do the public service corporations in the United | States. Ambitious aspirants for local of | fice prime themselves with tramway fig- | ures, and then take the stump. This per | petual agitation has something of a de- terrent effect on investors, otherwise the tramway stock might go to & figure that is warranted by a certainty of 7 per cent annually on solid security Treatment of Employes, So much for tne relations of the com pan§ and the city. Just now, when its forces are reduced to & minimum because of the cessation of summer travel, th company is employing 1,28 conductors and motormen. These are pald 20 cents per Phour for the first year, 22 cents per hour for the second year, and 2% cents per hour for the third and subsequent year In addition, the company furnishes to its mployes after the first year on. ‘hum annually and one new overcoat every | second year. The first-year man is re | quired to pay for his own uniform und | overcoat, but it is so arranged by tie com- pany that the taflor is paid from the com- pany’s coffers and the cost is taken out of the employe's pay little at a time, so that the expense of the uniform and over- coat Is practically extended the en tire year. The older men are referred to |at the general manager's office us the | “regulars.” They work ten hours & da over and their runs are so arranged that the ten hours’ stunt is accomplished within a twelve-hour period. The “swing runs" and “trippers’” are manned by the extras or new men, but their time of work, whiah can not under the agreement with the ci exceed ten hours, is generally accomplishoq within a fourteen-hour period. A few of the runs may extend a little beyond this, but pot so many as to excite any comment, and these are being adjusted now. In fact, the schedule man was working at the time of my call in an effort to remedy a run on a line where one conductor among the fifteen employed, on that particular line had complained of his hours. Each em- plove has twenty-four consecutive hours | oft duty each week. Almost all the ployes are members of the union, although | the company does not make any contract with the union as such. It ment with the men, agreement em- has an agree- covering all, and this is negotiated between the com- pany and a committee representing the men. The fact that the committee fs chosen by the unfon fs admitted, but recognition” Is not as yet conceded. Construction and Power. | A detail of the company's operation at present may be of passing interest In | Omaha. The guttered type of girder rafl, such as is now being put down in Omaha, Is being abandoned he All the system was lald with it, but It is being taken up and a T rail is being substituted. The girder rafl did not fall in any particular Incident, but is thought not heavy enough for th traffic and the substitution ‘s expected to secure better service from the track, and less noise and greater smootle ness in operation. This and T detalls of construction worked between the cit % office and the operating of the company. The city has to power over any of the company's this regard. Another factor power for the trolley m Niagara falls, and is brought eighty miles of wire.
