LIBERAL OFFER
Will Give Scent Fares and Will Ex-

If Allowed To Enter City.

That the M. u. r. Is still In mood
to get entrance to the city, but does
not care to interfere with the settle
ment OF the ID. u. r. question, Is
shown by a proposition which II has
prepared for submission to the COM
mon council franchise committee at q
meeting called for Wednesday morn
ing,
The company will accept to two re-
quests made by the franchise commit
tee. II will give eight-ror-a-quartor
tickets "a hours day. with transfers
exchangeable with any line that will
exchange with II. This would include
the three-cent lines of the ID. u. X. sys-
tenn. which are required, under the
Detroit Railway franchise, to exchange
transfers with any line that will recip-
rocate.
The company also will agree to n
day-to-day arrangement as to city cars,
SO that the city may purchase the
tracks at any time that IL wishes TO
take them over, making any agree
ment that may be decided upon for
the operation of the city cars. The
Nj. u. r., however, will exact the right
TO run interurban cars into the city
for a definite term OF years.
The company insist that II does not
want the city railway system. and Is
not In the market for the tracks on
which franchises have expired. The
company will not expect to pay any

ban cars into the city.
