ELECTRIC LINE FOR 500
Contracts Awarded by CIergue-
T.. ~ Merry Kerry War On.

=
:. ~. Merry Kerry War On.
sAULT STE. MARIE, MICH-F. H.
Cergue to-day signed contracts awarding the
construction work OF the Trans St. Marys
Traction company which includes the road
bed, track lying and electric equipment Of
the street railway system here. to the Falk
company OF Milwaukee. Contracts were also
awarded to the st. Louis Car company for
cars and to the Westinghouse Electric and
Manufacturing company for motors. Work
on all contracts call for early. completion.
The Falk company is to start construction
work this week and will employ several
hundred men. About eight miles of the sys-
TEN are to be completed this year and the
cars started running il October.
A merry war is on in the service between
the two Soos that is proving of interest to
those who have business either side OF
the river, inasmuch as it will terminate in
quicker and better facilities and cheaper
rates.
A single fare Of 10 cents is crarged by the
present company, which is in control Of the
most convenient landing to the central part Of
both Scos. A short time ago proposition
was made by the Clergue people, who have
franchises in both Soos for street railways
OF rthe purchase Of the sault Ste Marie Ferry
company's boats and property. which was re-
fused. Then the Clergue interests announced
an independent service would be established,
to be operated in connection with the street
railway systems now building, it being in
tended to operate ferries on which their street
cars or passengers would be transferred.
The old company rested serene in its posi-
ton as holding the key to the down town
situation on this side, as it had the better
central dockage facilities. However, trans
formation was worked last night when the
city council granted the Clergue people five
years lease Of riparian rights at the foot OF
tombstone street, near the center OF the city,
for landing purposes. The company agrees to
erect pavilion for the accommodation OF
passengers, to give a thirty minute service
and a straight scent fare.
The people who are interested in the present
ferry company have docks abutting on either
side of the slip at the end of the street on
which the privilege has been granted to the
Clergue company. 1t shuts out the old COM
pany from using it and this is where the run
comes it, as the new company will bridge 1t
over and erect the landing pavilion thereon
and secure facilities to the harbor
