Laur will request permission from the Minister of Pub- lic Works, M.

This new railroad will be rather like the mono-rail systems already in use in Germany, but instead of} utilizing the customary method of el- || ectrical locomotion, the cars will each |, be equipped with a huge airplane prop: ellor, driven by powerful electric i hy The cars will be suspend- ed from a single iron rail built upon pylons erected every 160 yards along the route, In order to compel the land-own- ers to permit the company to erect the pylons, whose bases will be thirty feet square, it will be neces- sary for the Council Generale of the | Seine to issue a new railroad pub- lic utility decree, 'Only three stations will be built at the outset, two termini and an in- temediary station at Pone de Sois- sons. The cars will be constructed of duralumin, with a capacity of 100 passengers and be capable of attain- ing a maximum speed of about 160 miles an hour, The fare will be 75 centimes, which about equals 3 cents. Should the first line prove a success, M, Laur plans to begin work immediately on seven other suburban routes, It is estimat- ed that the initial cost of the pro- ject will be 5,000,000 francs or about 1,000,000 a mile. .
