The city of Canton, China, with
a million and a half inhabitanbs,:
has no ' place for a street railway
system. Canton is. • one of :the
wealthiest and most progressive of
all the Chinese cities, and it would
very much like a modern street
railways system.. ' But the • space
within the .walls and fortifications
is so crowded that many of the .so-
called streets are but narrow al-
leys, not even wide enough for two
sedan chairs to pass. There is no
room for horses and carriages, and
certainly not sufficient space for a
narrow-gauge ' failway. But the
Chinese engineers are not so easily
baffled, and Canton will' have its
electric railway. It is planned: to
tear down the ancient stone walls
'and fortificatio•ns'which•enoii'cle the
entire ei ty. ,
The material. from these • walls
w11 .
i . be used to fail genie of'the old
canals which traverse the city.' A
three-trapk belt, line will be con-
structed on the site of the old wall,
completely encircling the city, and
bhe old canal sites will be used for
feeder lines.
