for the purpose OF having the council

matter, tut it will probably come up
for discussion at the next meeting. The
proposed line of the road is as follows:

ELECTRIC ROADS GALORE.
The city Council Gives the Grand Rapids
a Beldmg Line Franchise Up Main
st.-Other Prospects.

J TIC 1ltA C'uHCll has SEdnbcu the
Grand Rapids q Belding electric road
"a franchise in the city and nothing is
now in the way OF the early construc
tiun OF the road as far as this city is
concerned. Both sides seem 10 be well
pleased with the terms agreed upon and
every thing is satisfactory all around.
The company only asked for franchise
TO be void il the road were not running
by Dec lst but the council expressed II
willingness to give them one year more
and it WAS done The rate Of fare in
side the city limits was fixed at five
cents or eight tickets for 25c which
would make practically a three cent
fare. The route of the franchise is
across the brick yard, crossing the river
aud Pere Marquette tracks by IA high
bridge as heretofore described, swing
lug around to the north and landing on
Broas ST., north on Broas ST. To Main,
and east on Main ST. to Ashfeld.
But this is not the only electric road
project with Belding on the line, there
are at least two more, showing much
activity and we await developments.
Grand Rapids Press: The Grand
Rapids & Saginaw is the name of new
electric railroad projected between
here and Saginaw by way OF Ada, Low
ell, Belding, st. Louis, Ithaca and
Alma. The promoter is Mr.. Tucker of
Su uer, and no Grand Rapids parties
seem to be interested in IT, he claims
to have secured rights OF way from
Saginaw to Ithaca. A road from Ionia
TO Saginaw via Muir Matherton. Car
son City, St. Louis and Alma is in seri-
Gus contemplation by the local promo
ters OF the Grand Haven, Grand Rap
ids s. Ionia road. The company has
not considered the matter yet. In the
proposed road to Saginaw the latter
company could take advantage ofabout
forty miles of grading between Muir
and ST. Louis that was made two years
ago for a steam road. If the road is
found to be payer and not too much
difficulty is encountered in securing
right of way and franchises, the Sagi.
nav road may be built this season.
Saranac Local: The township board
of this township held meeting last
Monday afternoon for the purpose of
acting upon the matter of a franchise
for the projected electric line from
Grand Haven TO Ionia. Joseph Kerwin
Of Grand Rapids represented the com
pany and presented his claims. The
road was. he said, to be built and put
in operation between Grand Rapids
and Grand Haven as rapidly as possible
and it is the intention to run a branch
from Nunica to Muskegon, The pre-
liminary work on the Ionia part of the
line would be done this season and work
would not in all probability be com
meuced on the grading until another
year, bat that il was the intention of
the company to have the road in oper-
alton its entire length in the course of
"a couple Of years. A branch to Bel
