Superintendent Read of the Salt Lake City street railway has placed an order for five new double-truck vestibule cars. They will be of the combination character, convertible at will from winter to summer cars or vice versa. They are to be modern in every particular and very similar to the cars now being used on the Warm Springs line.
Superintendent Read has not decided as yet what lines he will place the new cars on when they arrive. The placing of them will be governed by necessity and they will go wherever the manager considers that they can be of the most service.
These cars will not have push buttons in the seats, which ring a signal bell to the conductor, as the Warm Springs cars have. Mr. Read said yesterday that the buttons were more annoyance than good. Children play with them and they get out of order so frequently that their usefulness is not sufficient to warrant the cost of maintaining them.
