committee OF so, Friday evening. MIR.
Barbour began the argument by in
curing whether Mr. Mahon thought
that seven-for-a-Quarter franchise
would be accepted.
That was tried two years ago" said
Mahon.
Barbour declared his belief that the
Codd-Hutchins franchise was the best
offer ever made to the city and that
ii would be accepted OH second vote.
That started things. Mahon pointed
TO the fact that 1879 municipalities In
Great Britain had acquired their trac-
ton facilities inside OF six years.
Barbour retorted that conditions In
Great Britain were such as would not
be endured here in regard to wages
and service. Mahon replied that in
every instance fares had been lowered,
service bettered and wages increased
under municipal ownership.
