MOTOR CAR To Be Given Trial bv Clover Leaf Railway. There are indications that many of the railroads that come into direct competition with traction lines are about to adopt radical measures for meeting this class of competition. The Clover Leaf has taken the bull by the horns and already has drawings of the plan of a motor oar on file. Thus far the plans of the Clover} Leaf are indefinite, but there is talk of putting on passenger oars propel lea by gasoline engines at points where trolly service is likely to cut into t„e company’s earnings from local traffic. Plans for milk oars, also propelled by gasoline engines, are under consideration. These cars, it is thought, can be operated cheaply, and without interfering with the regular thro’ trains. ’"route ONE.
