 note = {An empirical adequacy of the proposition that innovations spread through a system of cities is examined, taking a case of Japanese electricity supply companies having opened during the years of 1887 to 1898. In order to define the system of cities operationally, the spatio-hierarchical position of each member city within the system was identified by measuring the spatial autocorrelation of population in the interaction space recovered by applying non-metric MDS to the data on interurban flows of bank remittance bills. The accessibility, which is based on the interurban connectivity relationship shown by weighting matrices for those distance zones where statistically significant, positive spatial autocorrelation was present, is correlated with the year of opening. As a result, a tenable proposition is conclusive.},
