Curator's note | The caption card states that "the City of Saskatoon spent nearly $500,000 to provide streetcar transportation in 1912. Because the City could not afford such a large expenditure in one year's budget, the Stone and Webster Engineering Company financed the building of the system themselves, while the City paid off the debt over several years." |
