Promises to be Done by July 1

Boland Says His Contracts Call for This

Says That the Everett - Moore Smash Up Did Not Affect His Plans

Battle Creek, Mich., January 6. - Wm. A. Boland was asked this afternoon when his electric road system between Detroit and Kalamazoo through this city would be in running order. He said:

"My contracts call for the completion of the road between Jackson and Battle Creek by July 1. I hope to see this stretch done a little sooner. Between Jackson and Detroit some pieces are done and work is going ahead fast on others. It will all, I hope, be done by July 1. No, the Everett-Moore smashup did not hurt my plans in the least."

Boland spoke also of his scheme to build the road clear through to Chicago, but would set no date for its completion. He said: "I believe the time is not far distant, however, when you can go to sleep in a car at Detroit and wake up in Chicago riding over electric rails."
