✦ Synopsis

July, i915.] DISCUSSION ON MAIN LINE ELECTRIFICATION. 99 motives " run light," but have been recorded and are included in the total locomotive mileage in computing the unit cost per locomotive mile both in freight and passenger service.

(4) Q. The fixed charges given for Cos Cob power station appear to be very low. It would be interesting to know whether they include depreciation. A. As explained in the previous part of this discussion, they did not include depreciation.

Mr. Del Mar's point with regard to the negligible error of meter registration on locomotives is very interesting, and, so far as we have been able to determine, the meters have been an accurate and valuable adjunct in the determination of the general distribution of power.
