Municipal services expand in Fort William and Port Arthur
The city operates a street railway and telephone system, with about six to eight fee structures and a yearly average rate near the prewar level. Subscriptions rise while a profit balance appears. The municipal telephone system began after a decisive test against the Bell trust, now largely displaced. Power comes from a waterfall a mile from Port Arthur. Public works chief Rankin notes political interference poses no barrier to service improvements, stressing municipal accountability. Fort William and Port Arthur are portrayed as the coming Chicago of the northwest, poised to become a major hub at Lake Rupert, connecting Canadian Pacific routes and grain trade with new grain elevators rapidly filling the port.
