To meet the constantly increasing tratlic demands. and having in View the extension of their lines to 'EVHH- stun by July liist. the company's engineers have worked out the full details of the [IUWPI‘ house plans and hare now in successful operation one of the best generating and distribu- ting systems of its kind in the World. Directly connected with the crank shaft of the big (luflesa tamlem compound 40” H. P. engine is the new three~pha3e alternating genera tor of the (leneral Electric (‘o’s latest type.

JANUARY 6, 1898} Receiving its finishing touches at the poWer house of the Chicago and Milwaukee electric road is one of the most into-resting and ctfectiw pieces of machinery demanded by the exi genciv-s of street railway traffic. This Huggins rotary snow plow weighs 20 tons and is guaranteed to effect- ually clear the track of any deposit of snow or ice. -At either end of the car and operated by independent mu- tors there, are great fan shaped steel blades which cut the snow and ice with great rapidity. An; endless belt elevator receives the frigid deb~ ris which by means of deflectors set at various angles will be discharged at any point within a radius of a hun- dred feet. The rotary can run either backward or forward and is equipped with three motors of {BU-horse pOWer each. The controlling and operat- ing devices are accessihly placed, and the whole ponderOus machine has a grim. substantial and efl'ective look. The company 'is now pre- pared for any climatic emergency which may arise, and will have no difficulty in keeping their tracks open during the heaviest snow storms whichmay come. The superintend- ent,.Mr. Ives, to whom the News is indebted for a View and explanation of tli'is valuable device. is naturally anxious to make a thorough trial of the new rotary but he will beequal 1y well pleased if no occasion arises for its use. The old thhany church he“ of this city. that fur so man)~ years has charmed our ears. has been sold and shipped to the ['nitnd Evangelical (‘hnrch at Gilman.
