Public Library.” A central site was wanted, he thought they all agreed, and the Brigade reserve was not central. lie was sure people would lose their way and break their legs in getting round those corners. (Laughter.) The delay involved in getting Baring square east allotted to them as a reserve was really no objection at all, and he was sure the County Coun cil would not object to the latter site. The Council might object to the square being used for purposes of individual enterprise, but would not for a public purpose like the one under discussion. The amendment was seconded by Mr Hogg, who expressed himself in favor of the site adjoining the Post-office, failing the obtaining of Baring square east. Mr James Bradley hoped the resolu tion would be carried. Otherwise a delay of five or six months must result. There was another reason in addition to those mentioned, why he thought the old Li brary was not popular—it was not suffi ciently comfortable. If the Library was not made as comfortable as people’s own homes it would not be patronised. The institution should be made as attractive as well as useful, as possible.. Mr G. W. Andrews urged that the square should be at once as the Government might take it from them at some future time, and turn it into a source of revenue for their own purposes. Mr Purnell would like to say a few

words on the amendment. He would like to point out that whatever resolutions they might pass, there was not the slightest hope of obtaining Baring square east as a site. Governmeut would never grant it. The Borough was bound to take the opinion of the burgesses on the question of site, but at the same time there was no liklihood at all of the square being given to them as a site for the Li brary. They should not mistake the shadow for the substance. If they asked for the Fire Brigade site they would pro bably get it, but if they asked for Baring square east they would only meet with a refusal. He trusted they would do some thing practical that night, and not allow the meeting to end in smoke. Mr St Hill thought that it was unmiti gated rot—(laughter) —to suggest that Go vernmeut might become so impoverished as to be reduced to take away their squares. The Library Committee were in favor of the Fire Brigade site, but found obstacles in their way, and so abandoned the idea. He suggested the Borough should give the Committee the Brigade reserve site and the old site as well, as an endowment. (Laughter and applause.) Mr Cates (from the body of the hall): “ Well, Mr Chairman —” (roars of laugh ter and cries of ‘‘platform.”) Mr Cates got upon the platform, and met with a most enthusiastic reception; indeed ho could hardly hear himself speak, much less render himself audible to-those in front of him. The gist of Mr Cates’s speech was consideration at the hands of the public for the “poor coun tryman from the country.” Mr Cates descended amidst yells of delight from the audience.

The Mayor remarked, in reference to the fears expressed by a former speaker that the Government might take away the public squares from them, that Govern ment had no power to do anything of the kind. They might as well sell the streets. The squares belonged to the residents. The amendment was put, and only 13 hands were held up in favor of it. Tho original motion was then put, and only three voted against it. The Mayor, in declaring the resolution carried, expressed the hope that there would be no more trouble about tho Li-

brary site. Mr Poyntz said a resolution had been placed in his hands, which he would read to them. It ran:—“ That the Mayor be requested to use his best endeavors to give effect to the previous resolution.” Seconded by Mr Hughes and carried unanimously. The Mayor assured the meeting that no effort should be wanting on his part to meet their wishes, and he was glad to think that there were no very serious ob stacles in the way of those wishes being carried out. Mr W. H. Zouch proposed a hearty vote of thanks to the Chair, which was carried with acclamation, and tho pro ceedings terminated.

ELECTRIC TRAMWAY CARS.

[LONDON “TIMES.”] The first application of electricity to the driving of tramway cars in this country was made on March 4th, at the works of the North Metropolitan Tram ways Company, Leytonstone. The car employed was one which has been the subject of a similar experiment in France, It was fitted with a large number of Faure accumulators ranged under the seats and communicating with a motor underneath, which, in its turn, by means of pinion-wheels, acted upon the wheels of the car. The* ac cumulators having been charged at a dy ' namo machine in the company’s yard, a numberof ladies and gentlemen who had teen invited to witness the experiment mounted upon the car, and had a few runs with it up and down a quarter of a mile of tramway in Union road, to the amazement of the inhabitants, who, for the first time in their lives, saw a tram car full of people travelling at the rate of seven or eight miles an hour without any visible motive power. As proving the applicability of electric force to locomotion, the experiment was an un doubted success. The accumulators, which weighed a ton and a halt, ex erted, with one charging, a force equal to that of twenty-five horses for one hour that is to say, five horses for five hours, and so on. In other words, the car could have run with its full number of passengers for

Haifa day, with an ample allowance for waste of energy. The objection to this system, as at present carried out, rests on two grounds—first, that the car with Us load of accumulators weighs as much as five tons; and secondly, that the pinion-wheels make a loud grinding noise, such as seriously to incommode the public. Both these defects the promoters hope to be able to remedy by attaching the motor, which is prac tically a dynamo machine reversed, direct,to the axle, thus dispensing with the pinion-wheels and reducing friction. The attachment of the motor direct to the axle would necessitate in the case ot tramcars the use ot driving-wheels small enough to make a large number of revolutions per minute with a low rate of progression. In the case of railway trains it would enable a very high rate of speed to be attained—pro bably 100 miles an hour—with driving wheels of moderate size. The pro moters are sanguine enough to believe that at no distant day they may be able also, to introduce electric cabs and omnibusses, guided like velocipedes. ,■ All vehicles driven by electricity could, of course, with a little additional expen diture of force, be lighted by the same nteans. It only remains to add, with reference to the electric tramcar, that it can be worked, started, stopped, and reversed, by the moving of a small 7 switch-handle, and that the promoters L cafeidate' uppn-being able to work tram vv -wiyswith eiectricity at one half the cost ‘ ' V. i. f ;

of horse power. The experiment was car ried out by Mr Radcliffc Ward on be half of the Faure Accumulator Com pany-
