What this is about and what you’ll get
This is a historical procurement manual for building and operating a city’s street railway. It presents the official notice to bidders, the scope of work, and the rules for submitting proposals, along with detailed plans for power, car houses, repair shops, tracks, and signaling. Prepared by Bion J. Arnold, the document blends legal framing with technical specifications that guided early 20th‑century urban transit projects.

This edition collects the formal bidding process, payment options, and the responsibilities of bidders and the city. It also outlines the kinds of equipment, buildings, and infrastructure involved, from car cars to power houses and sub‑stations, without venturing into modern interpretations or analysis. Readers get a window into how large municipal projects were framed and bid in that era.
