ing, the company for like reasons to
make a further payment OF One Hun
dred Dollars per day.
We are compelled to advise you that
we deny the statement contained In
the preamble in each resolution to the
effect that the rights of the company
have expired on the streets mentioned
in said resolution. We are also advised
that the requirements to pay said gums
OF money are illegal for other reasons.
We are. therefore compelled TO advise
you that we must decline to pay said
sums.
Perhaps 1T may not be Inappropriate
to say to you that the increase OF the
ad valorem tax which has been madc
this Year, added TO the excessive de-
mands now being made. has prevented
for borrowing the money necessary TO
make all the extensions required by
your recent resolutions which we ac-
eepted: These resolutions, with other
rlents which We have contemplated.
call for the expenditure OF nearly two
million dollars. The addition OF such
VS. and the threat to add still Others
puts IT beyond our power to raise the
money for the purposes above indi-
Gated.
When your Honorable Body adopted
the resolution regarding the payment
of Three Hundred Dollars per day. we
then advised you that we did not re-
gard the requirement as legal one.

and further friction between us, ard
without waiving our legal rights, we
have paid that sum. and for the pres-
a

the belief that no further burdens
We do not believe that you have
fully considered the necessary effect
of the imposition OF these heavy finan-
cial burdens unon the company, and
therefore respectfully call your atten-
tion to It.
We believe We should again cal,
your attention 10 the failure OF the
and raving foundations and the paw
Ing on the lines known as the Detroit
Railway system, and In this connec-
tion we beg to call your attention. TO
concerning this matter This COM
pany is at all times ready to cooperate
with your Honorable Body in bringing
cerning these and all other street

with a reasonable protection of the
property In It's Charge.
Within the next few days we will
