PLANTS WILL UNITE.
First Plans Of Consolidation viii Be
Carried Out.

BAY CITY, Mich. March 31.-John
c. Weadock. general counsel for the
odenpyl-Walbridge and Clark inter
ests of New York, has advised local
people that the plan of merely unit
ing all the power, gas and electric
plants and transferring the stock OF
each for stock in holding company
would be followed out.
The last plan contemplated the or
ganization of the consumers COM
pany with an additional issue of $l2,-
100000 in stock and bonds. Applica-
ton for permission to make the is
sue was before the state railroad COM
mission, but was withdrawn because
the plan could not be worked out be-
fore April /, when the options on
most of the properties expired.
The effect now will be to still unite
the various companies and subdivide
them into electrical. gas and traction
groups, but without stock and bond
issues to raise money for individual
development. This. however will not
interfere with the Au Sable river de-
velopment, on which 100000 has al
ready been spent.

MORE SUPPORT FOR
MUSIC IS NEEDED
Detroit Orchestral Assn, Facing
Another Deficit, Will Discuss Means
For Increasing Revenue

That the Detroit Orchestral associa
ton. the organization responsible TOT
the series Of splendid orchestral con
certs given in Detroit by the grea'
orchestras of the country the past
five seasons, shall be placed on a
sounder financial basis. the executive
board in a meeting the first OF next
week, will discuss ways and means oil
appealing TO the general public Tor
support in larger sense than hereto
fore AS il stands now, the associa'
tion is made UP of SOS men and wo-
men who guarantee TO make up any
deficit there may be between the re
ceipts of the concerts and the ex'
penses, and with the exception or the
first season when there was SOS sur
plus these grarantors have had 10 90
down in their pockets every year. The
season Just closed. while in many re-
spects the most successful OF all, VIII
leave a deficit Of 50 per capita.
While the association was formed
purely as an educational enterprise.
nevertheless we feel that at the end
Of Ave years ii should show some
signs OF being self-supporting,' said
Frederick X. Stearns. president Of the
association and one of the prime NOV
ers In its organization. Il feel that |
have done all that | can AFFORD TO do.
and II the association is to be contin-
ued some one else will have 10 do the
main work"
1T does not seem possible that the
guarantors or music lovers generally
will see the project dropped after five
years." said ". j. Corey. secretary OF
the association. The visits OF these
great orchestras have been a wonder
ful stimulus 10 musical life In Detroit.
and the concerts have been a liberal
education. People who did not know
the meaning OF the word symphony
five years ago are now the most IN
;husiastic and appreciative listeners.
and the concerts nave made known 10
Detroiters many OF the great COM
posers and their works that otherwise
ii would have been impossible to DE
come acquainted with. Mr.. Stearns
believes that some plan can be evolved
whereby the supper. of the concerts
may be drawn from wider field than
the comparatively small list OF guar
antors. and this matter will be taken
up at the annual close-of-the-season
meeting next week"
General subscribers TO the concerts
and music lovers generally feel that
the loss Of the orchestral concerts TO
Detroit would be great calamity. The
/ asst season, the books OF the associa-
tion show. the lower-priced season
tickets had a greatly increased sale, In
dicating that the genuine music lover.
whose pocketbook Is usually meager.
has done his share towards a more
liberal support. II more OF these will
rally TO the standard OF high-class
music the association will be able TO
continue.
