STREET RAILWAY
NEARLY COMPLETE

A small amount of finishing work
on the car line will bring the matter
to climax. This sudden change
from warm to cold weather may be
Of some hindrance to the progress
on the street railway. However, men
are at work every day and it is
thought that the final balasting will
be finished by Tuesday evening of
this week. Virtually, all that re-
mains is the construction of a cross
ing over the North h-Western tracks
and the completion of the ''Y" at
this end of the line. The cars are ex
pected to arrive next week and will
be put on the tracks by the 10th
of this month. This year Christmas
traffic between Grand Rapids and
Nekoosa will doubtless be of new
and novel sort for this part of the
country.
