is A VICTORY
AND DEFEAT.
Chicago Not to Operate Street
Railway Lines Votes S75,-
100000 TO Buy Them.

CHICAGO, .Npril 4.-Municipal own
erslip of stfeHtsrailways was Endorsed
by Chicagois citizens at the polls by
1000 majority but the proposition for
municipal operation, which required a
three-iifths vote. was beaten.
1t was one of the hottest elections in
the history of the city. Money was
said TO have been used plentifully both
by the traction interests for the defeat
of the municipal ownership and opera
ton propositions and by the liquor in
terests against the high license alder
men.
Three propositions were submitted to
the voters, the first of which was;
shall the city of Chicago proceed to
operate street railways!" This propo-
sition required 60 per CEN of the to-
tai vote cast in order to become effec-
tive. The total vote was approximate
ly $4,000 OF this number the propo-
sition TO proceed to the immediate OPP
GRAFTON of the street railways secured
but 123,00O votes. about 10000 short
of the necessary three-fifths.
The second proposition involved the
approval of an ordinance previously
passed by the city council providing
for the issue of street railway certifi-
Gates in amount not to exceed $4,000
600 for the purchase, ownership and
maintenance of the street railways.
This was carried by about $500 votes.
The third question. which was simply
on the question of public policy and
has no legal effect whatever. is. shall
the city council proceed without delay
to secure the municipal ownership and
operation of the street railways under
the Mueller law instead of granting
franchises to private companies!'
This proposition was carried by
about 5000 votes.
Mayor Dunno construed the passage
of the $4,000 900 certificates and pub
lie policy propositions Is a victory for
municipal ownership, but expressed his
disappointment over the defeat of the
proposition for municipal operation.
He said:
Il admit that | am disappointed be-
cause the victory is not complete. The
people will vote for operation with a
big majority ut tic proper time"

Mr.. Hillery, the administration lead
er, passed to third reading the modi-
flying amendments prepared and sub

business, of which Mr.. Avis, Of
Gloucester, is the chairman. These
amendments rob the bishops bill
of most of it's restrictive sections.

two back rooms illegal and the sec
ton that prohibits the sale or gift OF
liquor to minors either for them
selves or others. the latter provision
being aimed at the ''growler" trade.

leader from Hudson county, offered
an amendment to permit the opening
of saloons on Sundays from u

a storm of protest from the floor and
a muffied murmur of indignation
from the galleries and was quickly
voted down. only the Hudson county
