Reports Will Be Received From Com
mittees on Franchises, Statis-
tics and Paving.
A meeting of the mayors Committee
of 80 will be held next Monday night
in the council chamber. 1t Is expect.
co that reports will be received from
tine committees on franchises, stalls
tics and paving. The first-named COM
mittee has been to great pains to col
lect all available data in regard to all
franchises and resolutions governing
the operation OF street cars In De-
troit. The statistics committee has
collected figures showing costs and
ether information from a number OF
large cities. The paving committee
has secured information regarding the
paving CT both the three and flve-cent
lines in Detrc,. Much Of the informa-
ton these committees will present has
never been available In this city
before.
Il is figured now that the cost "
the committees Investigations will ap-
proximate $4,000, the figures to date
running we'll over the $4,000 appro-
priated by the council but which Is
not yet available on account of the lack
Of decision by the state supreme
court But for the fact that Mayor Brett
meyer and Secretary Renaud raised
$4,000 on their personal note. 1t would
have been hard for the committee to
have worked so long.
Chairman Eddy has stated that ne
will see to 1t that all the bills OF the
committee are paid, no matter what
the supreme courts decision, and a
number of the committee members
have offered to contribute in case 1t

the strain when the pavement swelis
in the hot months. This method was
tried last year and has been found
very successful.
