Mayor 10 Hilarious.
The mayor laughed heartily at q
suggestion that his correspondenco
with Hutchins had disturbed the PROS
poets Of the Hally conference. Ito
pointed out that his attitude could In
no way impair the arguments that

why do go to the corporation
counsel for opinions ON LEGAL matters?
neys go to him because he n the
city's legal representative, and I want
to act I'm harmony with him.
''Hutchins' letter has nothing to Do
with the case. 1t is natural for him
to protect the interests OF his CON-
pany, but we are here to protect tho
interests of the city. We are gofag o.
get what Is practical for all concern
ed before we are done.
Wants Cleaner Cars.
THE rate OF fare Is not the. only I'M.
portant thing. Right now the peoplo
are clainorlng for better service. more
cars. cleaner cars and extensions. The
Detroit railway cars are disgusting
regular cattle cars. 1t IL more i'm,
portant that they should be cleaned
than that they should be heated. for
people have their wraps on when thoy
are in the cars. They say they spand
100000 for coal to heat cars; they
might better spend 100000 to paint
them. 10 not know yet whether I
Will sign the ordinance in regard 20
heating cars"
Il not like the pay-enter cars either.
The conductor should be protected
from cold and am going to see what
the city can do along that line.
Il have always believed In inter-
changeable workingmen's tickets ana
talked for them. 1t is not q new ideo-
II do not see why anyone should

the conference In Haliy's once. r.
I had got down town In time Wednee-
day afternoon I should have butted fn
anyway. In my opinion. It is wrong
to hold conferences OF this kind IN
secret. Everyone has right to know
what Is going on.
We want to lind out. openly. what
we can do with the d. u. r.. II they
will not treat US fairly, then we can
try some other method or company. :
