LET CONTRACTS
FOR NEW CARS
TOMORROW
Three New Street Cars, Costing SO,
700 Each, Will be Ready for Ser
vice in Less Than Three
Months-Are Up-to-Date.

Contracts will be let today or to-
morrow by the Fruit Belt route for
the construction of three new pay-as-
you-enter street cars for the city line.
The cost per car will be in the neigh
borhood of $4,000.
Announcement was made some
time ago by Messrs. Ford and Sun
derlin that the cars were to be order
ed and since that time the engineers
of the company have been at work
on the plans.
The cars, as specified. will be diff
'ferent from any other transportation
cars now in use. Practically all of
the features of the cars are embodied
in other cars in use elsewhere but
no other cars have been built ac-
cording to these designs.
Superintendent Charles w Ford
has modified and elaborated on the
original plans and the result is car
fitted especially to the needs of local
traffic.
In probably 90 days after the con-
tract is let the three cars will be un-
loaded here. This is giving the
building concern a large margin of
time and it is understood that the
speed with which the vehicles are TO
be constructed will be factor in let
ting the contract
Superintendent Ford stated today
that the present cars, which are a
great deal smaller, less comfortable
and old-fashioned than the new ones
will be used as construction cars. In
cases of excursions the old cars will
also be used to handle the trailers for
carrying the crowds.
The new cars will match in appear
ance the present interurban cars al
though OF somewhat different de-
sign.
