RAILROADS FIGHT
TWO-CENT fares.
UPPER PENINSULA LINES BIT
TERLY OPPOSED TO PRoPos-
ED MEASURE AT LAM
SING.

Upper peninsula railroads are fight
ing the proposal OF a portion of the
upper peninsula delegation TO place
those roads on the two-cent fare ba-
sis, and they are fighting II hard. They
are making the claim and supporting
II by a mass Of figures that If the
passenger fares i'm their section are
reduced to two cents a mile the re-
suit will be curtailment Of the serv-
ice and serious loss to the roads as
well. They insist that operating con-
ditions ere so radically different up
there from the remainder of the state
that rates which may be fair down
here are not fair for their lines.
During the consideration of the
matter by the senate and house COM
mttees on railroads one upper coun-
try railroad man made the assertion:
THE cost of everything has some L.
In the last ten years except transpOr-
tation and there has even been n
constant disposition to demand re-
duction of rates for transportation, "
said he.
There is n growing belief here that
Governor Osbo.n's recommendation
should govern and the fares reduced to
two and one-half cents a mile. It is
this, but they are earnestly declaring
that they cannot operate on a two
cent fare basis.

Ishpeming Decides to Undertake
Work to Correct Figures.


The census of Ishpeming, which the
members of the council and other citi-
zens believe was not properly and
completely enumerated by the agents
OF the federal government, is to be
re taken at the city's expense. 1t is
thought that the plan suggested by
Mayor McCorllindale will be compar-
atively inexpensive. The mayors
proposal to have the work done over
again was approved by a unanimous
vote.
The mayor says:
81 am satisfied that Ishpeming is the
largest city in the upper peninsula,
and many of our citizens concur in
that opinion. 1t would therefore rec
ommend that committee be appoint
eG to formulate plans for taking a city
census and believe that same can be
done with little cost"

FIRE STATION AUTHORIZED.

BY a vote OF eleven to three the Es-
canada city council has decided to
transfer $4,000 from the lighting plant
funds to the fire fund to allow the
construction of a fire station in the

amount was recommended by the
board of public works. Under the
resolution passed by the council the
building committee is instructed to

means should be employed to give the
Seventh ward proper fire protection.
