| | From the Introduction: “In these pages it is desired to explain in plain language what the cable system of working street tramways is, to point out its advantages, to explaixi its aspects financially, and to show how ex-ceptionally favourable the present time is for in-augurating improvements in methods of local street transit, which have been too long delayed. To the Directors and officers of Tramway Companies, to the members and officials of Town Conncils and other Local Authorities, and to the urban public generally, the matter is of vital interest. The lethargy of the British tramway world is beginning to disappear; and a great opportunity for advance is now opening out.” Contents:
