Pfngree,s Scheme q Failure

Detroit, Mich, July 15.-It was con-
ceded on all sides this afternoon that
the Pfngree-Johnson plan for the pur-
chase of street railways is defeated.
There is now no possibility of muster
ing enough votes of aldermen to pass
the desired ordinances over the NAV
or's veto. Several of the aldermen who
voted for the security franchise have
now decided that the risk Of failure to
pay for the roads out of cent fare
receipts is too great TO incur with rea-
sonable safety. Another attempt in
the same direction will doubtless be
made at some future time. Three cent
fares were still in vogue today.
