unconstitutional. so Pingree got up a
substitute This was the organization
OF a new company with Pingree at the
head. or somewhere near the head,
which was TO acquire all the Detroit
trolley lines. establish Scent fares and
transfers, one OF the chief ideas Of mu-
nicipal ownership. and then it, at the

power had paid off the bonds. amount
