Their Municipal Ownership Talk
Prevents Settlement Of Traction
Matter" His Honor Insists.

IF | had my way ! would burn up
The Times and the News; then the
solution OF the street car question
would be easy" said Mayor Brett
meyer, Wednesday noon.
Solution No. 800 came during a dis
oussion Of the proposal to use the Bar

valuation OF the street railway prop

The people would be enjoying low

these two newspapers, with theil
municipal ownership talk said the
mayor. They have posed as the
friends Of the working classes, but
they have proven anything but that
II they were only out of existence, We
would get somewhere.
There have been only two definite
propositions put before the people
The first was the Codd-Hutchins ordi
nance, which the people voted down
The second was my plan, the Webste
ordinance, which Is much broader, bu
we have not got anywhere, becaus,
the papers have been unfair Nov
they want Bancroft given another
chance at the appraisal. Bancroft ha!
had his chance, and l don't see how
they can keep boosting him. Let Bar
croft come in and defend his report.
Before what body would you have
Bancroft APPEAR" the mayor was
asked.
His honor finally admitted that il
would be acceptable II he appeared
before the council or the franchise
committee, which would have power
to summon witnesses and put them
under oath.
Bancroft has said that he was re

ALDRICH I'm WRONG" AGAIN.
Activity For Charlie Daniels May
Get Him In Trouble.

Frank A!drich, superintendent OF
street cleaning In the department OF
Public works, appears to be in
wrong" again as result Of his politi-
cal activities This time. according
to report. Aldrich has put his foot In
it by trying to save the official neck
OF Charles Daniels. deputy game and
fish warden. Just what bond Of SYM
patty or political connection exists
between Aldrich and Daniels 10 not
apparent, but at least four or Ave OF
the ward foreman have told friends In
the city hall that Aldrich has given
them blank petitions In behalf OF DAN
iels and has asked them to secure a.
many signatures as possible. The
foremen in question wanted advice a.
to what to do about the matter. They
were advised to return the petitions
to Aldrich.
"Aldrich had one experience, the
Owens campaign, that ought to last
him for a while" said man close
to affairs IN the city hall. He had
a narrow escape from being dis
charged then, and | should think he
would take warning from that and
keep his finger cut OF things he has
nothing to do with"
