which the cars are allowed to travel is not nearly so great as in this country, and in many cities the speed is regulated by the fact that horse cars and electric cars frequently run over the same rails. To particularize, in Paris, Cologne, Brussels and Frankfort there are many examples of street car locations being immediately next the walks, instead of in the middle of the driveway, and, usually, there are no lawns in which to locate them.

If this has proved to be the most convenient arrangement abroad (perhaps one ought to say, the least objectionable arrangement), why should it not be so here?

To explain more explicitly just what is meant, three plans and sections are shown of different portions of Euclid avenue with street car locations fitted in between the trees as they now exist. The section of street car is in outline a copy of one of the large eight-wheel Pullman cars of the West End road of Boston, which are believed to be a trifle higher than the largest cars in Cleveland.

It is a mistake to allow car tracks to be laid in every street of any importance; some of them should be reserved exclusively for pleasure driving and bicycling.

The foregoing is intended to be a brief resume of the amount and character of the preparatory plan-work made up during 1894, together with a short statement outlining the general conduct of work proposed for 1895.

The suggestion as to possible construction of future locations for electric car tracks, and, perhaps, for changes in locations of existing tracks, is, of course, merely tentative.

Respectfully,
