troit deem II wise TO establish within
its boundaries a zone system o. rates,
corresponding with those in effect in

way operative 10 recommend 70 my
company the adoption of these rates,
which would range, according TO dis
lance OF haul. from one 70 l5 cents per
passenger, equaling about one cent
per mile. This recommendation would
be made notwithstanding the fact that
in Glasgow, to serve its population OF
more than one million people, there
are provided 109 miles of track and
T59 ears, as against more than ITO
miles OF track and more than 1000
cars to serve population OF 100000
people in Detroit; also notwithstand-
ing the fact that the wages we pay
in Detroit are az least three times as
high as those paid in Glasgow. The
, facilities in Detroit are not up TO the
standard of our wishes, but II those
in Glasgow equaled them according tC
population, Glasgow should have at
least 400 miles of track and at least
1000 cars
