cars in compliance with their charters.
That in the event of their non-compli-
ance the city authorities take control of
the roads, so that the people may have
immediate and permanent relief. 1t is
now the ninth day since any car has been
operated in the Seventeenth ward, and all
business has been practically destroyed
at 2. great loss to our citizens, and We
demand immediate relief.

power to act in the matter. Application
to him could be. made by citizens direct
or through the Corporation Counsel, and
the Attorney-General could then lay the
being shown that the companies had
failed TO run cars would establish
prlma facie case against them, but it
would remain for the court to decide
whether their charters should be taken

cali the attention of the Attorney-G Cen
eral to the case.
