The Detroit Traction Co. franchise.

November and quiescent most of the
time since. has suddenly come to life.
w. E. Baubie, the attorney who has
been promoting the local end OF the
proposed company to take over ex-
piring ID. U. r. franchises and give
eight tickets for a quarter on a 30
year franchise. will 90 to the council
soon with important concessions and
ask that special election be called
to get the opinion of the people on
his proposition
/. develops that the capitalists
whom Baubie has behind him are not
interested solely in the Detroit city
lines, but figure on securing valuable
interurban terminals by getting hold
OF the principal lines of the Detroit
United railway.
Baubie Is now willing to agree that
his company pay for all paving be-
tween the tracks and all repairs. In
which respect the franchise would be
much more liberal than that OF the
present three-cent lines Of the city.
The franchise provides for the city's
taking over the Detroit Traction Co. g
lines for municipal ownership at any
time on six months notice.
New life was given the plan by the
visit of Maurice Untermyer. member
of New York law firm which has
handled a number OF the largest finan-

came here Saturday for conference
with Baubie. and later had one with
Mayor Thompson and Controller Dore-

New York, although it had been given
