Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Practical Treatise on Street or Horsepower Railways, Their Location, Construction and Management With General Plans and Rules for Their Organization and Operation: Together With Examinations as to Their Comparative Advantages Over the Omnibus System; And Inquiries as to Their Value for Investment; Including Copies of Municipal Ordinances Relating Thereto
Having received numerous enquiries from various parts of the United States and Europe, in relation to the construction and general operation of Street Rail ways, I have been induced to publish the following pages, which I trust will be found practically useful to the Engineer, Contractor, Shareholder, and Director of Street Railways, as well as to the Authorities of those Cities whose streets are about to be occupied by them.
