Cannot Secure Any

Because of the War
The probabilities are that the Omah
Street Railway company will not bulid
any new cars in the local shopa this
spring. However, a large number of the
old cara will be worked over and put Into
first claaa shape. The war In Europe Is
reaponalble for tho fact that no new cars
will be turned out.
In past years 'he Onw'iA company has
had contracta with eaattir, plant e to sup
ply the necessary trucks tor tara fov the
Cmaha lnea. Th."ae hav nlwayi been
turned out add the orders filled iiulckly,
tui now l' s different.
8ome time ago officials if the local
company at nt requests to the enr wheel
foundries with which ihey nuve been
doing business for yea-s, asking quota
tions on car trucks. The answers came
back that no quotations could be fur
nished for the reason that all of tha
factorlea were swamped with orders for
supplying munitions for the war rona an 1
that the pre fit Was about 10 per cent
greater than on the manufacture jf car
wheels. As a reault It la practically im
possible to secure any class of car cast
ings. Thla year the street railwuy com
