HUTCH|NS' TALK
CAUSES COMMENT
Suggested Plan for Settlement Of
Traction Problem Generally
Favored By Aldermen.

Jere G. Hutchins' suggestion of a
street railway settlement in Detroit
along the lines of the Cleveland and
Chicago settlements was the talk OF
the city hall, Friday morning. Most
OF the city officials were taken with
the idea as presenting some basis fol
settlement.
IL was pointed out that the idea OF
such a settlement might be carried
out along the lines of a revocable
franchise, not limited as to time but
repealable by the council at any time.
Such an agreement would not require
the approval OF the voters.
Il would not vote for any franchise
like they gave in Cleveland or Chi
cago, but If we could just run along
on a lower fare. thin kpeople would
be better satisfied" said Aid. Herman
+. link.
That is right. Detroit people will
not stand for 20 or 30-year fran
chise, but we might arrange a work
ing agreement in which the fare
would be based on the cost OF SER
vice and the earnings of the company
limited TO a certain per cent" stated
Aid. Walter B. Trevor. who was with
link at the time. 1T may be ques-
ton as to whether the ID. u. r. would
build the required extensions on such
an agreement without a franchise. We
would have to have a good strong
agreement by which the city could
supervise the expenditures OF the
company and see that expenses were
not unduly increased"
Lots OF people would be better OF
II we had a settlement like that In
Cleveland" remarked Aid. konkel,
Democrat. 81 think the suggestion Is
worth considering"
YES. that idea looks good TO me,
said Aid. owen. I'VE want to get the
thing settled. People want good SER
vice and they want only to be assured
that they are not paying more than
their service is worth. am TOT
reasonable settlement.
I'm the mayors office II Is given out
that the mayor is too busy TO tank
lust al present, but II is also recaiieu
there that Breitmeyer. during his cam
paign n year ago, outlined some sucn
plan OF limiting earnings and basing
a settlement upon that idea. he mas
since advocated a public commission
TO SUPERVISE street railway matters
after any settlement is reached.
The American Radiator CO. has sent
q communication to the council, ask
ing that permission be granted ior
the looping of the Chene-st. line by
building a new line down Grandy-ave.
This is needed by the workingmen IN
the northeastern factories, the com
pany says. ..
soye of the city officials point out
that the ID. u. R. has practically
adopted the revocable franchise Idea
itself by laying expensive tracks IN
streets where its franchises have al
ready expired. or are about to expire.
In doing this, the company mercy
goes on the assumption that 1t VIII

its physical investment through any
action OF the city. The same Woulu oe

agreement or revocable franchise.

NEW YORK. Dec. 24.-The Explor

as follows:
The committee of the board OF gov

ION Oct. II. Dr. Cook appeared in
person before the club and after
reiterating his claim that he had been
to the summit OF Mount Mckinley he
agreed to appear In person before the

do this or to supply the committee
with the promised data or. In fact.

"He ignored the committees fur
Their request for data made six. weeks
later"
The investigating committee finds
that Cook Is enthusiastically In every
respect. II declares he has broken
many agreements In financial matters
among others failing to pay one, Por
ter, the Explorers Club map-maker
for services rendered.
The report ends by recommending
that Cooks name be forthwith drop
