for the municipal ownership Of the subways?'
he was asked.

that the issue was popular in Chicago. but the
people of this city more intelligent. and they
never would be in favor of municipal ownership
of the subways. It would take q. man al day

subways if they ever were owned and operated
by the city. It would cost great deal more TO
run them, and the system would break down

any municipal ownership experiments tried on
