Tho city already ban a cheap faro flystoni a system of tbrco cont lines In force for some years and a 7 for 2ft cents ticket on Its flvo cent linen since 1913. Ilerq Is what Detroit hopes to do with her municipally owned and oiwr- oteil street car lines when sho gets theni: Kntlre reroute all lines now enter ing tho heart of tho city. As rapidly as possible add to tho 1308 cars now In use. Uso larger cars In place of many of the smaller, old typo cars still In use on some cross town lines. Kxtend tho existing system of tracks, of which there nro 20C miles, Into tho suburban districts whoro In the past ten years there has been an Increase In population of soma 57 per cent and but little Increase In car service.

Marx. .Mjchlgan was mayor. The first big mnvo wan the ostabllshmen of three cent faro linos In competition with the five cont linos. The resultant fight has Involved SO companies. Companies Combine The hopes of competition were doomed, however, when the compan ies combined In 11)00. The pcoplo retaliated by refusing to sanction now franchises or allow extensions on those expiring. Mayor George 1. Codd during his administration of lOoJt-00 tried to put ovor a blanket franchise but it failed and killed liItTt'Iitinccs of re election. Ily 1909 a big proportion of tho franchises had expired yet the com pany would not obey tho city's order to vacate tho streets. Mayor Philip Ureltmeyer In tho hopes of solving tho problem appoint ed a committee of SO to make an appraisal of tho car system with a view to the city buying and taking over the lines.

The company protested that $24,000,000 was tho lowost estimate they would even consider. The commlttco of 50 aghast at tho bolo they had fallen Into "accepted" hut would not adopt tho Hareroft ap praisal. ThlH action killed Hrelmoyor's ad ministration hut mcanwhllo the city found It necessary to chango Its char ter Hefore It could even get tho right to try and oust tho company. The battle was carried to tho state legislature nnd by 1910 thu city had obtained homo rule. In 1912 with the company beaten at practically every point, the city Increawd the dally rental for tho streets to $000, hut when Major Os car It' Marx also domaiided a lower fare, the company balked. Tho mayor threatened to have tho police stop the cars, and .lames Coiti ons, general manager of tho Ford 'Arnold, fainoiiB traction expert, wns company, offered to use all surplus autos on hand to carry citizens about tho city. Hegliiulng of Kiul This marked tho beginning of tho end for tho cornpany. A street rail way commission of three was appoint ed to handle the situation and work otit n plan whereby the city could purchaso tho property. Tho men on the rommlttco are James Couzcn, gen eral malinger of the Ford company; J, F. Dodge, ot Dodge and company. A new appraisal was made In 1911 and was placed at $20,000,000 on sonic 20C miles of car lines. Again tho company balked and tho qly's offer was raised to $21,006,000. ' Thon It was discovered thai there wore $1,000,000 worth of car bonds still In tho company's treasury. Tho company balked. ' Tho city then offered to let the circuit court arbltrato and dccldo the question nnd gave tho company until July fi for a final answer.
