WILL FRAME UP
TRACTION POLICY
Hally and Franchises and Ways and
Means Committees Discuss
Temporary Measures.

A conference was held wednesday
afternoon between Corporation Coun
sci Haliy and the members OF the fran
chises and ways and means commit
tees or the common council with re
sard 10 devising street railway policy
for the time being that will not inter.
fere with any permanent settlement
The meeting was a private one. and
Hally gave his views To the aldermen
freely. a foretaste having gone TO the
council some time ago in letter in
which he deprecated patchwork poll
cies.''
This meeting Is preliminary to the
opening OF formal negotiations with
the Detroit United railway. Such ne
gotiations are I'm prospect along two
lines. The purchase OF the committee
of fifty's report Is intended TO lead
up 10 hearings and negotiations for a
final settlement; the Gilman resolu-
ton OF Tuesday night points 10 dis
cussion OF temporary arrangement
with lower fares pending the final set.
Element
During Wednesday morning Hally
was In consultation with Aid. HARPER
and Gilman, +. F. Ingram and others
In regard TO street railway matters.
One pressing matter that crowds the
matter OF temporary settlement into
the foreground is the demand OF the
people in various portions OF the CITY
for immediate Improvement in street
car facilities. These demands have
been met heretofore by the statement
that such things must wait until the
whole question was finally settled
But the growth OF the city has made
congestion worse in many parts. and
the aldermen are beginning To believe
that final settlement Is still Ions
way OF.
Aid. Ellis made the first move in
asking for the double-tracking OF the
Harper-ave. line. Then came the pro
posal to loop the Chene line on
Grandy-ave.. north OF Gratiot. The dis
position OF the council Is to pass fav
orably upon these requests for add.
tional trackage but. nevertheless, these
additions will not pass unless other
sections OF the city are given similar
treatment.
. Aid. Allan. Heating, Field and
Thompson are determined 10 have the
Hamilton boulevard extension OF tho
Third-ave. line as soon as It can be
built Aid. Watson and others wan,
the Myrtle line looped on Assist. and
the Fourteenth and Sixteenth ward
aldermen insist that they must have
north and south cross-town line.
| All these aldermen have taken their
troubles TO Hally. They know that II
will take months 10 negotiate a settle
ment proposal and that this may bs
defeated at the polls. That would
leave the extensions up In the air fol
another year II they are left TO be par
Of the final agreement. And the alder
men want these extensions next sum
mer.
| Hally has promised to draw up some
kind OF revocable franchise plan 70
these extensions by Jan. Is.

NAY GIG BACK ON Gilman.
Republican Aldermen Talk Of Nomin
atino Another Man For President.

Republican Aldermen Talk of Nomln-
atinu Another Man For President.
Republican members of the com
mon council are considering the cali
ing Of another party caucus at which
the question OF party policy in connec-
ton with street railway legislation
may be discussed. IL such a caucus is
held. II Is almost certain that an at
tempt will be made by some OF the
aldermen to rescind the action OF a
former caucus with regard to the NOM
iaation OF Thomas Gilman, OF the
Eighteenth ward TO be president dur
ing the coming year.
Since the very early caucus at
which Gilman was nominated. the
course OF events has been such as to
create antagonism to Gilman on the
part of some of his colleagues. Other
aldermen have felt that the power OF
patronage. as represented In the com
mittee appointments. was being swung
over their heads.
Complaints as TO alleged irregulari-
ties--i in the calling of the Republican
caucus were discussed Tuesday night
after the council meeting. One Re
publican aldermen stated that he had
never received any notice OF the eau
Gus. while another alderman's wife
found his notice under a rug at the
side door OF the house some time after
the caucus was held
The notices were sent out by City
Clerk Nichols early one morning. and
the caucus held the same morning.
