The year 1011 saw tho completion qf tho steel ferryboat Alameda nnd tho starting of Its sister-ship, the l Santa Clara. The Alamoda Is tho largest and fnstest forry vessel on tho Bay, and one of tho lnrgest of J Its kind anywhere. Tho cur forry! Contra Costa was completed to run ! between Honlcla nnd Port Costn, where nddltlnnnl forry slips wqro built to accomniodnto It. Tho Con tra Costa Is tho largest car ferry of lis kind in tho world. Tho Alnmo da, Contra Costa nnd Santa Clara represent mi expenditure of half n million dollars apiece. Those facts summnrlxo tho most Important work done during tho yonr. They do not, however, Incluilo the company's tromondoiiR outlay for material nnd suppllot purchased of merchants and mnuiifncturers- tit homo, nor do they take account of tho sum that goon out to each out-' ployo In the form of wages. An , Idea of tho Utter may bo gained , from tho annual pny.roll for twenty-, two roproflontnllvoM cltliw on the Ph- j clflc Systoin tweiity-uluo million dollars.
