Expect To Make Very Fast Time

President J. D. Hawks of the Hawks-Angus syndicate was in Grand Rapids the other day making arrangement for the extension of the electric line to Muskegon.

Mr. Hawks said it is the company's intention eventually to have a through line from Muskegon to Detroit, a distance of 220 miles via Grand Rapids, Sunfield, Grand Ledge, Lansing, Mason and Jackson. This will be the longest stretch of electric line in the west.

As soon as snow is off the ground the survey will be completed, and under favorable conditions it is possible that the through electric line from Muskegon to Detroit will be open for business this year. At the same ratio of rate charged from Detroit to Jackson, the new line will carry passengers from Detroit to Grand Rapids for $2.65, which is but little more than half the rate charged by the railroads.

In time, according to the Detroit, Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti & Jackson line schedule, there will be a difference of three hours in the trip compared with the Pere Marquette schedule and less than two hours difference between the schedule of the time made by any other route from Grand Rapids to Detroit.
