[Vol. XXVII. No. i. COMPLETION OF IMPORTANT LINK CONNECTING THE IN-TERURBAN LINES OF OHIO, INDIANA AND MICHIGAN One of the most interesting events in the history of electricrailway building in the Central West took place at Findlay,Ohio, last Saturday, when a golden spike, presented by theStreet Railway Journal, was driven by President A.
