✦ Synopsis

The paper of the evening, entitled "The Economic Aspects of Railway Electrification," was read by Mr. A. H. Armstrong, M.E., Chairman, Electrification Committee of the General Electric Company, Schenectady, New York. After a review of the present condition of the railway service, due largely to the soaring price of fuel and labor, consideration was given to the economic advantages which will result from the universal replacement of the steam engine. An account was given of the development of the electric locomotive and its use on the several railway lines throughout the United States. Attention was also called to its great reliability and low cost of maintenance. The subject was illustrated by lantern slides.

After a discussion the thanks of the meeting were extended to the speaker.
