THE RAPID TRANSIT COMMISSIONERS WILL ASK
HIM TO BE MORE SPECIFIC.
II Is probable that the only action the Rapid

George J. Goulds letter will be TO request him
10 make some clearer statement OF OF the
propositions contained IN his communication. The
Commissioners have carefully studied all that Mr..
Gould has written. but have failed to discover
anything specific in his offers He says that he Is
willing. IN order to comply with the law. to pay
the city one-half OF l per cent of the gross
ceipts for the franchises. The members OF tho
Board not certain whether he proposes TO take
all Of the franchises at this knock down figure or
reserves tho right 10 take the more valuable ones.
Alexander e. orr intimated that Mr.. Gould would
be asked TO define more clearly his intentions
"rn place" Mr. Orr said. Mr.. Gould says
ne will take the franchises at this figure. In
other place he speaks OF the franchises being
worth nothing. 1t is likely that the Board will
