The trolley
The Metropolitan Electric Railway has been doing a heavy business this week. The 7 and 7.30 cars for Toronto have been filled here nearly every morning, as well as quite a number going on every car during the day. Some of the cars have made excellent time, going from Newmarket to North Toronto in an hour and a quarter, while others of course have been delayed. Lack of waiting-room accommodation at North Toronto and cars not leaving on advertised time have cause much adverse criticism but no doubt these things will be remedied as soon as the Co. has time to get the road equipped.
A telephone system is now being constructed over the line for the use of the Company, which will be a great convenience to passengers because if a car is late they will then know when to expect it. The telephone would also save the cars from doubling the line when they meet each other between switches.
