CITYRALWAYS

TROLLEY FLEET LARGEST INU. S.

Local Utility to Have 153 Vehicles Within Short Time.

The. trackless trolley is referred to as “the baby of the transportation family.” but in Indianapolis has grown into an adult in less than five YCAars. The passengers on streetcars, coaches and the trackless trolleys may take only passing notice of the placard in any one of them about | “the largest trackless trolley flee: in America,” but that's exactly what Indianapolis has, a8 survey shows. When the Indianapolis Railways. Inc., completes installation of 57 pew trackless trolleys being received this month, the total in operation here will be 153. Trolleys in 34 Cities Thirty-three other cities in the United States have trackless trolleys in operation. The total, with Indianapolis, is 1059. But only Portland, Ore., and Chicago come near to matching Indianapolis in the size of its fleet. Portland has 140, and Chicago, 135. New York has not adopted this mode of transportation, but across the river in Brooklyn eight are in operation Other cities of more than 30.000 population where trackless trolleys have replaced street cars and motor coaches, or supplement them. are Atlanta, Boston, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, O.; Davton, O.: Detroit, Duluth, Fitchburg Mass. ; Flint, Greensboro, N. C.;. Greenville, S. C.; Kenosha, Wis.; Knoxville, Louisville, Memphis, Milwaukee, New Orleans, Pawtucket, R. I.;: Philadelphia, Providence, R. I.; Peonia, Ill; Rockford, Ill.; San Francisco, Salt Lake City, Shreveport a... Si Joseph, Mo.: Toledo, Topeka, and Youngstown, QO Other Cities Consider Move Cities contemplating include Freeport, La.. Kansas City, Loos Angeles, Seattle, Tacoma, Wash Wilmington, Del, and Monroe, La. The trackless trolley idea was not sponsored until the early Twenties and then inadequate motors and tire designs prevented full commercial application The vehicle was revived 1928 and developers had more success. Four vears later, late in De=~ember of 1932, the Indianapolis allways adopted 13 of them when ie company began the $7,744,000 modernization program, ‘still in progress. Each succeeding. vear has seen more str cars relegated to the barns and motor coaches to the garages to make way for additional trackless trolleys Always Room Far One More The 1059 trackless trolleys in operation in the country carry a total of 41,340—unles it's rush hour, when there's always room for one more. Street cars still carry 65 per cent of the people who must get places other than walking or automobile and less than a fraction of 1 per cent of the load. Motor bussess, elevated cars and subways carry the rest But the trend to trackless trolleys s rolling along.

New Deal Foe

Norman C. Norman (above), New York jeweler, again is contesting a New Deal law. This time, as a stockholder of the Consolidated Edison Co., he is challenging the constitutionality of the old-age benefit provision of the Social Security Act. Norman unsuccessfully fought the cold devaluation case, defied the NRA jewelry code, challenged the RFC, and bought potatoes illegally to test the AAA. "1 am opposed to anything that tends to take away liberties . . ., ” says Norman.
