GIVE WORK TO MANY men.
CONTRACT LET FOR WEST SIDE
ELECTRIC RoADBED.
Construction Work to BE Started rs
Soon as the Weather VIII Per-
mit-RadicnI Departure in
Road Building.

The contract for building the roadbed Of
the West Side electric line from Second
and Wyandotte to the Southwest boule-
ward was yesterday awarded to the Amer
ican Railway Construction Company, OF
Chicago. The contract is for Sll0,9OO and
stipulates that the road must be COM
plcted by May l. The contractors stated
yesterday that the work will be started
as soon as the weather permits and that
KansaS City laborerS. The rails on the
West Side line will be the heaviest ever
USED for either steam or electric railway
purposes. All the joints will be welded
together by electricity, making one con-
t:nuouS rail the entire length of the line.
This system of joining the rails has been
employed in Chicago, Detroit, Toronto and
a few other cities and has proven to be
entirely practical despite the theory of the
expansion and contraction of steel.
The representative of the company which
secured the contract stated that during the
recent cold spell in Chicago, when the
Thermometer registered Y degrees below
zero, the only effect on the welded rails
was to swell them SO that they We're slight
ly larger in circumference, but that other
wise no effect was noticeable.
A radical departure from the usual meth
cd of construction employed in this coun-
try will be taken in building this roadbed.
Instead of tearing up the whole street in
order to place ties for the rails, the pave
ment will only be taken up for distance
y
be dug and in a solid bed of concrete
the heavy rails will be laid All the Eu-
ropean street railways are now built in
this way and the system has proved far
superior to the old method of spiking or
bOlting the rails to ties.
Added to the welded joints, the contract
requires that the best copper bonding shall
be used in order to make the circuit in the
rail complete, and thus prevent the possi-
bility of damage from electrolysis by es-
capped electrical currents.
These radical improvements in the con-
tract for the construction of the new line
We're stipulated by A. L. Stilwell, the pres,
ident, and Walton H. Holmes, the general
manager of the new company, who is also
the vice president of the Metropolitan
Street Railway Company.
Mr., Holmes stated last evening that the
cars for the new line would be in keeping
with the rest of the road, being the most
modern in their equipments now on the.
market. The cars will be cross seated like
those on the Kansas City & Independence
electric line. They will be twenty-one feet
long, and finished in cherry. This contract,
which has also been let, amounts to $1,000.
The company is preparing to let the con-
tract for excavating the bluff between
and Thirty-first streets at
the end of the Summit street line, through
which the West Side line will run to West
port.

THREE CENT STREET CAR FARES
to Kansas City as Well
rs st. Louis.

jefferson City, Mo-. Feb. 6.-(special)
The members of the internal improvements
committee of the house have informally
agreed to favorabIy report the 5 cent street
railway fare bill, which applies only to St.
Louis. The street railway officials of that
city are determined TO prevent the bill from
becoming a law, and have demanded that
they be given hearing. In compliance
with their request there will be a public
hearing on the bill next Tuesday night.
Thus far, there has been no disposition
on the part of any member of the Jackson
county delegation in the Legislature to
make the bill apply to Kansas City. They
say that they know of no public demand in
Kansas City for a 3 cent street railway fare
and that they will not move in the matter
until they become aware of such a demand.
Colonel John T. Crisp, member of the
house from Independence, says he is ready
to prepare and offer an amendment to the
bill making it apply to cities of 100000 pop
ulation and over, instead of cities of 300,0
and over. rs at present, just soon as he
is informed that the people of Kansas City
want 3 cent fare on their street railways.
