Tho city already ban a cheap faro

l'rvM'iit day leaders In Detroit's
street ear fight, Fivricrirk T. Har-
troft; nnd (at Is.ttoui) Major Oscar
H. 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.
They picked Frederick T. Hancroft,
former railroad man and a famous
consulting engineer Hai croft, not a
bit awed by tho fact that Hlon J.

retained by tho company, choso his
experts, mostly outsiders he could
trust, and started appraising.
Tho company fought hard. Papers
and Important records disappeared.
Home Hole Obtained
Hareroft and his commlttco finally
made a valuation of somo $11,000,
000. 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.
AUtlio last moment tho company
gavo la nnd now except for a few
minor details, Detroit has come Into
municipal ownerships.
