MULVEY i Total Abstinence--Moderate Drinking. lints'', A imPortant and significant this great departure is.

here from one station we can operate all the cars inside Charles river. We could. indeed. go outside Charles river. But the crossing of a current of electricity beyond water I am told is involved in some danger.

and therefore it is the part of wisdom to have a power station upon the other side of the Cherie4 river. perhaps: another power station there. The operation of these cars wilt envolve at no distant day the furnishing of 10.000- horse power for the operation of the cars. Every one familiar with mechatlies will Xnow that the cost of putting in horse power in a large plant is ahout $100 per horse power. and every man can estimate for himself about what it shall be in that proportion.

I do not suppoee we shall need all this sum at once. But we propose laying out these works and entering upon this whole business upon a comprehensive plan. And. for the purposes the stock is Issued for. we have a right.

as fast as It le Necessary, to make these expenditures. Then. as to the motors: A good motor. a good double motor such as we are using. will cost about $3000.

and a single motor about $2000. And it depends entirely upon the number of cars we equip, as to the number of motors that we shall want. We are today running between 700 and 800 cars. And, if the exeerience of our travel since the use of the electrical cars was introduced is any criterion, we shall not only want that but an immense number more almost immediately. There.

you can see. is another million and a half or two million dollars. Then the wiring and the poles and all that sort of thing will cost from 15000 to stt000 a month. There is another million dollars. Then there is the new construction.

the new equtpmenls, new track. which will involve. perhaps. another million. And that is the four millions and a half which we must Issue to make this change.

Now. I doubt if many of the stockholders realize what is and must be the situation of the company in reference to its increase of stock, whether or not the change made from horse to OS electric system. The present investment of the company, made up of road. real estate, cars, horses and general oluipmente, is SII.C19,- 172. Now.

the increase in our business. the steady regular increase in oar business. is nearly 10 per cent. Now, unless we own too many cars and too many horses. unless we are giving the community too great accommodations.

unless we ought to crowd them more into cars. more than is done at present. unless we are extravagant in our real estate and all these matters, there is no other conclusion to be arrived at than this. that, for every increase of it) per cent. in its Invested comtal.

I mean in the number of l'ameenaers Carried. there must be a like -proportionate increase in its investment. If the transportation service is increased 10 per you must Increase the number of horses and cars and real estate and general equipment in that propottion. And that is the history of all these railroads from the time they were started until today. And whether you change from electricity to horses.

or whatever you do, if the increase in transportation service is 10 per cent. a year, you must face an increase in your capital of a like amouitt, and almost precisely for thelsame purPoses. Now, the West knd Railway Comiaany today does not own a single car in excess of its needs. It doss not own a single horse in excess of its needs. It does not own a single foot of real estate in excess of its needs.

It does not own a single foot of track that, is not worillevery cent of what stands on the books. And for the needs of the increasing Humber of passengers there must be a corresponding Increase in the amount of real estate and all these other things. Well, now. gentlemen, so much for the regular inerease in horses. But what are the faets when we come to the increase on the electric roads.

Take. for instance. the Arlington line. It has now been in operation is days. For a like number of days Jost year the receipts were 42721.08.

The receints this year were $8273.24. There is ab-olutely 150 Per cent. increase for every single day of running. It is shown that that line has le en increasing at the rate of 150 per cent. in its travel.

Now I am fully willing to concede that a large part of this travel is pleasure travel. But the electric cars are no new thing in Cambridge. They have been running from the leth day of February until today. And. so far as The Electric Care are a that passed away weeks and months ago.

But the regular, steady travel on the electric line has increased. absolutely more than double. 150 per since its opening. How long that will continue I do not know. But now look at the Brighton line and see how travel has increased there.

The total receipts for the Brighton line for the month of June of last year is $4426.43. The total receipts for June this year were There is double the number of people that you have got to meet. ell. now. then, the question that the directors have to meet at this Juncture is this.

Here is a regular steady increase of travel over those lines. even by horse power. of 10 per cent. The directors have no knowledge Whatsoever as to how large its increase of travel Will be with electric cars. But they have seen enough to know that it will be very largely in excess of anything that the experience of these companies has ever known before.

Whether it shall be 15, 20, 25 or loo per not know. But I do he. lievethat the company will be absolutely at. fault if they should rely upon anything less than SO or 40. I have bele the figures of our gross earnings: From Jan.

I. 1889 to June 30, 1889, of this year they were $2,515,130. For the same Period last year, $2.309.3117. an increase of $205.769.15. I would willingly have made a comparison for the whole year.

excepting that 1588 was a broken -year. The routes were not con- ekgeuieestnietintifeaotafniryi olyentocc, solidated until about the middle of Decem- cent and therefore re ar esBxfi suaotr waibt, back constant knae sa as nlolast think otvhi entiu nhcl could a. Tpt)heaarr vbar. a terestmg to very many of you stockholders to know how large a loss, as it has been suggested. i I- A.

teend ille sew. We cannot go to Jones or any other i builder and buy the same number of new I cars for the same money. And what does 1 it cost to turn them into electric cars? I Why. not $100 aptece: not $100 apiece to turn them into electric cars. even if we used those cars.

But what does the comPanvlo? Why, it finde as I said. every year compelled to buy more cars. And what have we had to tio last year? Why we have bought tat year--I mean this year since the date of our last new box cars and 74 open cars up to this time. We have had to buy 2n.5 new cars to sup. ply the demands of this businese; with horses within the last nine months.

welt now, supposing we bought those new cars, made for electric cars. There is no difference at all in them. the sills are a little heavier. the roof might be a little heavier. but the change is comparetineli immaterial.

And it is. therefore. of little consequence whether we use our old cars for this purpose or buy new ones. So there is not a single dollar lost on the car equipment whether you change from bermes to electricity or not; not a single dollar. And so large is the increase In business that.

if we needed tin electric car to every single motor we have, so large is the increase in business. we should need every single car we have for a tow car. But we do not. These cars that we have are perfeetlY adaytea to the business in every respect, except in some indifferent matters. sueh its.

brakes and siLs ad some strengthening of the roof. As it is a reinter of entire indifference to the company whether these cars are used or not as tow cars. and we tarn around and contract at an expense of $1tio and eta a car for a new car for that purpose. So there is not a dollar lot in the car equipment in the change from Horses to Electricity. Now, how is it with the horses? It has been the custom of the company.

it has been a necessity in operating the line by horses that every year there be a large renewal. During the mouths ot October. November and December of last year we purchased 1a50 horses at a cost of eos. And we sold, in the serina. 1035 horses and lost 168 horses hy death.

Well, now. it is theecustoui of the company to charge every single month to repairs. to depreciation on horses and renewals. $12.000 a month. 'We charge, in round numbers, a wei-etaosree0 lloywealrn tooperation dpreci aotniotnh eine arlsio7rris.

We shall be saving by putting this electric system in Franklin rare and other places; we shall bo saved an expenditure of aae0.000 whili we absoiutely should need were it not that we have electricity coming to supply the place. We should need to speud $250,000 for horses, and then wo should go next year and sell 1350 more.

and charge this to operating expenses. kVell. now. we have proposed to do exactly that thing now. We have 7135 horses that stand on our books at what they are worth today.

We shall use them through the winter, and in the spring we shall sell. perhaps, 1300 or 1400 or 1500 horses, and then we shall be reduced down to 600 horses, and we shall have a class of horses then. every one of which will brine what it stands on our books at. whether the road needs them or whether they go at private sale. But it is utterly imeossible for the road to make this change in haste.

But It can make a change from Horses to Electricity so gradually that the depreciation on horses will only be felt in its accustomed way of charges, as we now charge it, from one month to the other. So that there is no loss on horses, Of course, if our business were to stop; if we were to change in an instant from horses to electricity, if it were possible to do the whole thing at once, of course there would be a large depreciation on horses. But that is not so. We cannot make such a change. These horses we must keep.

And that will furnish us the money necessary to pay this depreciation, to pay your dividends on your stock with the capital that has been used by them, until electricity comes in to supply its place. Now. so far as the real estate is concerned. as I said before. there is not a toot of real estate that the company owns theta can dispense with.

So far from losing a foot of real estate, we need more end more, all over the road, for the housing of the cars that will be necessary on account of the Increase in the business. Our real estate is well located and is worth today more than it stands at upon the books of the company. And it cculd not be replaced for a largely increased capital. ow, then, a word as to the cost of operating, for that is a question that largely concerns the stock. holders; and especially with reference to the increase of stock.

The average cost of motive power by the horses for the last six months is Mitt cents a mile. That does not include anything that is not properly chargeable to the use of horse power. It does not include even all the insurance on the stables. And as careful a reviston as it was possible to make has been made of the average cost of running by horse-power. and it is found to bo, as 1 said, 10.16 Cents a Mlle.

That, the gentlemen will understand, does not Include the expense of drivers, conductors, starters. repairers of track and all these various things. Theie are all eliminated. That is directly chargeable to the cost or running the road by horses; that is the cost of horse motive Power. aVell.

now, from our eN peeence in the actual operations of our electric road from. Allston. with all the disadvantages that we have had there. of pouring the power into a conduit and absolutely losing it. with all the disadvantages of the operation of the electric line from Allston.

the cost of the fuel required is only a cent and a half. Now the directore believe that the cost of furnishinir power, including eughteerima and I will say including engineers, and all other expenses, hits been a trifle over three cents a mile. The reason that the cost of the engineers and so on is 150 large a proportion is due to 1 the fact that the mileage is so that over that line now, two or three cars are operated, few cars are operated, and the during that time is chargeable to that. And it includes running the cars and conduit and everything from the time we started until this time. So that the directors believe that the cost of power, of operating.

including engineers and every expense at the power house. wilt not eaceed two and a half cents a mile. And it 13 believed by the engineers that the expense will be very muott less than that. Veil, now comes the taking care of the motors. The company do not estimate the cost of taking care of the motors and of the other expenses of the overhead line as exceeding two and a half cents a mite more.

a here is a clear saving Of eve cents a tulle. Then there is still a further saving made in the operation of the road by the increase of speed which We can make, which anybody can Figure for Himself. We have not had experience enough to tell exactly what it maY be, but hat it is an important factor in determining the cost of transporting these people Is absolutely certain. What does this all mean? It all means this. that, with this electric system eat in.

we are in a position to give the community what it needs in the way of rapid transit. We are In the position to give it what it neeis in the way of greater act'ounuodations. more and more (re meet cars. Anti all those Whigs take money. If we were to stop said stand still we should not require cent, but it would be au exceedingly uufortunate positon for the company or the community.

But if we are to go forward and fulfil the expectations of this community and Justify the trust that has been placed in us in reference to the transportation of passengers, a trust that concerns all these three or four hundred thousaud people that crowd our cars daily. we must be placed in a posivon to vet the money to do this work with.

Dynamite Geed at Bar HarborFight Between the Green Mountain Railway Company and Carriage Road Company. BAR HARBOR. July 25.Early yesterday morning the Green Mountain Railway sent men to tear away the carriage road where it crossed their premises so that buckboards and other large vehicles could Hot pass without danger to the lives of their passengers. They used dynamite on tile ledges and when the work was sufficiently through they placed bars across to warn the drivers of danger. The explosion sent huge bowlders down the mountain sides and tore the ground with frightful havoc.

Posters appeared in the post Odes this morning warning all drivers of public carriages and other persons intending to ascend Green mountain by carriage road that it dangerous on account of dynamite which might still be smouldering beneath the rocas. liable to burst at any moment. iutis was dune by the Green Mountain Railway Company. Later developments prove that the dynamite was not only used on the portion of the road which crossed their boundary. but at the carriage company's tollgate aS welt The chief damage was done.

however. to that portion of the road near the summit It is learned from good authority that the seven men who were employed to execute this job drove in from Ellsworth at midnight. The dynamite was put under corduroy bridges and at the base of loose bowlders. The men were driven back to Elie-worth by an employe of the railway in a nine-seated buckboard. The residents of liar Harbor contend that the Mountain Company have laid themPel ves liable by using dangerous explosives to destroy property.

and that human lives might have been lost in case a necessity arose for some meAzenger to be despatched to the House for any of its occupants when no other ascent would be possible except by carriage road at that hour In the morning. 'rho managers- of the carriage road say that no hostile movements have been made by the raliwAy company since the gate was put up across the road, and the work of Wednesday morning had been secretly planned and executed. They further say that the town authorities can compel them to stop running their boat over Eagle lake, as it is liar Harbor's water supply, and that the company owns no part in it.

He was familiar with the hitory of the building and expected something of the kind. Consequently he ordered the men to make a careful search behind tbo walls and under the boors. Yesterday morning a small and rusty tin box came from behind what was once an old fireplace. Among the old paper it contained was a document containing about lo sheets or foolscap. fastened together by a piece of tape and bearing the signature of Charles Sumner.

"Vibe document appeared to have been an essay. and on account of the age of the paper. it was scarcely DOSSible to read it. It contained an allusion to the degraded condition of th, slaves. The paper bore no date.

A meeting of the stockholders of tbe West End Street Railway Company wu held at the Meionaon President Whitney called the meeting to order at 11 o'clock.

In the absence of Vice-President Cummings. the treasurer. J. H. Goodspeed, acted as secretary.

About 70 gentlemen were -present. President 'Whitney stated the reason for the calling of the meeting. and in a short address set forth the needs of the increase in stock asked for. He stated the great increase in the Brighton and Arlington electric lines, and said he believed the increase in the earnings with the electric railway over the entire city would be 30 or 40 per cent. Of the miles of track now in use over 30 miles have been laid with new track.

Ot the remainder there are several miles which will not have to be touched at all. as the speed attained by tile motors will be so slow that the tracks now laid will answer the purpose, It cost. the first nine months of this fiscal year, $194.202 for repairs. Over $400,000 has been spent on the cars which stand on the books at $763.000. Since last year there have been purchased 225 new cars.

It will cost $100 oer car to tit each one for the electric railway, and nothing is lost ill changing from horse to electric. They are perfectly adapted to the business. It has been necessary to buy new horses every 'year. Last year 1360 were purchased at a cost of 008. There are now 7135 horses which stand on the books at 8950,000.90.

The directors believe that the cost of running the entire line Will be hut 212 cents per mile, while the engineers think it will be less. This all means that with the electric system the public will be given the accommodations it needs and desires. and for this the increase in stock is asked ion Following is a verbatim report of President Whitney's address: "Before the stockholoers take action in reference to thiatuatters that are proper to come before thsrboard as business matters.

I desire to say a few words explanatory of the reasons why the board of divectors come at this time and hour to the stockholders to tanmeentlicorgeaosei tnh as to some 1,11 rdei fl ri stwte)f rpeill)tetri ntegdi electric roads. which we believed would solve the problem. as far as it was possible to solve it, of rapid transit and better accommodations for the large community that we serve. i am Happy to Say that. since that time.

those roads have been put into operation. and they have not only met the highest expectations of the company. but they have more than fulfilled the hopes of the community. For full testimony on that fact I refer to every single unprejudiced citizen of Cambridge who is familiar with the opera-tunas of the electric road there. and to every single.

unprejudiced citizen of Brookline and Brighton district who has had occasion to use the cars and witness the operation of the road in that section. So far as 1 am aware, the sentiment throughout the city of Cambridge and throughout the section where this electric road goe3 is entirely unanimous; and every community. so far as I am aw.ares that is reached by this road. is tremely anxious that it should be extended within their limits. tin the oth day of July last the road from Harvard square to Arlington was opened for travel by the electric cars.

The time from ton to Harvard square, which was certainly the quickest time that has been made from time immemorial before. or which it has ever been possible to make, was 35 minutes. The sebedule time today is 20 minutes. We make, on that avenue, only occaatonal stops, and I have heard but one expression of opinion in regard to that whole system. ancinhat is of the heartiest approval of the whole thing.

So that the company now comes before these stockholders and the community in this position. that it and the community are satisfied that this electric sYstem Is the system that will accommodate the people and it is. furthermore, a system that is so much cheaper in its operations that it is advisable. by all means. for the company to put it in at the earliest possible day.

It is extremely fortunate that the interests of the community and the interests of the road run in parallel lines On This Question. And the company, coesidering bow these communities are interlocked. how these cars go from one end of the city to the other. from Somerville and Charlestown to Franklin Park. and from the Marine park of South Boston to Harvard square and Arlington in Cambriege.

finds it utterly to take up the question piecemeal. It is compelled. from its very situation. from its position. absolutely compelled to take it up wholesale.

The full benefit of the system cannot be felt until the cars are taken off from one through route. And if the company proposes to stop its cars upon any particular line. if it should propose to stop its cars that now run from Harvard square to South Boston at Park square and go no farther. that will seriously inconvenience the people that are now travelling over that line. and create a clamor which it would be extremely unpleasant for the comoanY to meet.

Therefore I say that while the company might prefer. in some respects. to change it line by line. vet. surveying the whole field.

it is absolutely impossible to do so. Therefore, in making a change from horses to electricity we must necessarily include the whole system. I thinii. I stated to the stockholders, at the last molting in this hall, that the only two essential principles involved in the successful operation of electricity were, in my judgment, the power of carrying, the abilitsr to carry the power for a certain number of cars over the wire. and the sueject of traction.

These two things were demonstrated long before the West Etat uncertook this preblem. I am happy to say that the mechanical details of the motor for the transmission of this rower have been. since that time. so far perfected that responsible companies have come forward and offered us such guarantees as to the Dellabilit7 and Durability of these machines that they have eliminated all of the unknown quantities, so far as the company is concerned. Now.

then.take for instance the matter of power. Many of you, if not all of you. are aware that the company has recently made a purchase of the property of the Hinckley locomotive woras for its power station. Now. the read electrical centre of this whole city, inside of Charles river.

is 1 at the corner of Pleasant street and shawntut enue. We are even now very near the electrical centre from that point. As the travel increases to the southward and westward. or in the Highland district. the electrical centre will move north until in a very short time.

It will ho almost on a hoe with this property. We studied the problem very closely and there is not a place in this city so well adapted for the purpose of running this whole electrical system as the very spot we have secured. And it is possible. from this spot simply by adding engines and boilers and dynamos and a simple duplication of the parts. to rup every car inside of Charles river.

including South Boston. from Pow on. for the next 10. 15 and I do not know but 2.1 years to come. If the company should ieel that it was safe to place its entire plant upon that property and depend upon 1 its teach's noes to operate the cars.

all over I that point. there is property located. as well as any property in this city could be located 1 for the operation of all these cars instie the I Charles river from now on for the next quarter oi a century. so that. in making this departure.

we are reskiita a departure which. so far as that varticutar property is concercen. ends the matter for years to come. It is a unestiou which every one of you gentlemen. stockholders of this Company will realize the force of.

And if we should hereafter come to you and ask for Ruttier capital for the location of another power house in some other station, you will understand the reason why, and that is this: Doieg so larve a business as we do. serving so large a community as we uo, whether it is state and proper for us to depend altogether uron the location of the power house in one district We believe that for the present. it is sufficient. We believe that we can so put these euildings and property as to make it almost ahsmattly iirtiltevt and that the queatiou Coming Convention of tho Cat Ittlit Total Abstinence filen.

Now there are about 30 miles of road of that that are already equipped with new track there was. at the date of the last report.

including the Brookline hue. About 20 miles in the city proper will also need no change. That is, the rate of speed will necessarily be solow in the crowded part of the city. ordinarily, that it is almost a matter of inditierence what kind of a rail we have, and therefore the present rail will answer the purpose large! '7, if not entirely, for many years to come. There are outside.

long districts. where we run the tracks quite a number of miles. that will not require any change except the change that we image in our ordinary yearly expenditures for that purpose. And there are perhaps 50 or 75 miles where it would be to the great advantage of the company to change its rail. for the rea.

son that with the other we cannot get rapid transit. Well, now. no Person Who has not been over the electric cars from Cambridge to Arlington can fully realize what that means. When I spoke about it a few minutes ago. I intended to follow out the illustration somewhat further, when I stated that the time from Arhngton to Harvard square was 29 minutes.

It consists of four miles. and the average rate of speed for that four miles is 12 miles per hour. Now. the average rate of speed that the elevated roads in New 1 ork make. having fewer stops per hour, is only 10.89 tni led per hour.

And the electric cars are making today iu the city of Cambridge. from Harvard square to Arlington, a rate ot speed which is absolutely one-eighth more than any elevated road is making as it rases from one end of New York to the other. And that has entirely chatiged the sentiment of The Peap! of Cambridge, or at least of the people of that section of Cambridge who have heretofore been so strongly in favor of an elevated road. Now we believe that when the horse cars are all taken off from that line, from Harvard sonars to Boston. the time can be very largely reduced between those two points.
