FEW CARS too
BIG FOR TUNNEL
Sensational Reports Concerning
Blunder Of Michigan Central En-
gineers Are Denied in Two Places.

For some time past IL has been per
sistently rumored that the Michigan
Central tunnel was TOO small for a
large number OF cars. including some
belonging to the Pere Marquette ana
200 new cars completed for the Michi-
gan Central; that blunder on the
part OF the civil engineers In charge
OF the work had caused the defect. and
that Is of them had lost their posi-
lions because Of the alleged error.
There Is not word OF truth In the
report that any OF our cars will not go
through the tunnel" said VIM. Cot
ter, president and general manager or
the Pere Marquette railway, to The
Times, Wednesday morning mot one
OF our cars has been turned back TO
US by the Michigan Central because
of Its being too large. The fact OF
the matter il that the tunnel is large
enough for almost every car which il
In use today. There are some. how
ever, belonging to southern roads.
which are a trifle too wide, mostly
coal cars. These, on being received
by the Michigan Central. are turned
over 10 one OF the other railways at
this point to be ferried over the river.
The Michigan Central knew, when
II started to build the tunnel, that
there were cars which would be T.
wide for II, but they couldn't think oil
building II as wide as these cars would
demand. So there was absolutely no
error on the part OF the engineers"
Mr.. Cotter was asked II the Pere
Marquette planned to use the tunnel.
and he replied that II did II business
increased to sufficient extent to war.
rant II. just now the one fGrry In use
was sufficient to take care of all the
business the road had between De-
troit and Windsor, he said. The roads
business would have 70 increase 100
per cent to make the use OF the tun-
mel advisable by the Pere Marquette,
Mr.. Cotter added.
George ii. Webb, chief engineer OF
the Michigan Central, after denying
that the Michigan Central had found
any new cars too big for the tunnel,
and that any error had been made by
anybody In figuring on the dimen-
sions for the tunnel. was asked II the
road planned to use Niagara power for
the running of the tunnel engines. He
replied In the negative, saying that
the road was now getting electric
power from the Edison Co. at rea.
sonable rate. and that he was sure
Niagara power could not be sold at as
low a price He said. however, that
the company planned to use Niagara
power In its proposed new shops at
st. Thomas, Ont.
Heretofer 1t has been generally un-
derstood In Windsor, to which city
the Niagara power lines are soon to
be extended, that the juice from the
Falls would operate the tunnel en-.
