. The street railway review . lver spike and it wasdriven by a siler hammer. Abstract of a pajxT rc.-id at llio aiiDual coiivemion of the Cinadian EliC(rii-.ilAssociation. ToroBto, June. l»03. The Cincinnati, Newport & Covington Railway Co. recently com-pleted a steel water tank of 15.000 gallons capacity in the center ofits reservoir which supplies the boilers in the Newport power house.When the tank overtlows the water runs back into the reservoirinstead of going to waste.

The rail is lower by four inches than in the reg-ular semi-convertible car built by this eompany, and six inches lowerthan usual. This e-xtremely low rail was adopted because of the.

This form ofsemi-convertible car lends itself particularly well to such a modi-fication, since there are no wall window pockets to interfere with thedesired height of the window rail. .Ml that is necessary is to deepenthe roof window pockets to correspond with the increased depth ofthe sashes, and this does not cut down the width of the monitordeck appreciably; in this case the monitor deck has a clear width offour feet. It will be seen that an arm rest is required, as the win-dow rail comes several inches below the elbow of an adult. An armrest was therefore devised by the builders that exactly met therequirements of the case.
