JOHN McvICAR.

The chief opponent OF municipal
Ownership, among the five daily news
papers of Detroit, is the most strenu'
GUS advocate OF the franchise evolved
by Mayor Thompson and Counselor
/ Hally. with the aid OF the ID. u. r.
officials and attorneys, the initial step
for which was taken by the ID. u.
r.
In the days OF Pingree, and for
nearly nine years after his death,
we fought for threecent fares as the
best we could look for, until the new
constitution was adopted, when the
slogan was changed 10 municipal
ownership" as step in advance.
For years mayor and aldermen
shouted their adherence to the peo-
pie in the fight for three-cent fares,
and at the last election borh candi-
dates for mayor and most of the can
didates for aldermen had to come out
for municipal ownership in order to
secure election; and Mayor Thomp-
son and 81 of the SO aldermen were
and are pledged TO municipal owner
ship; or. at least, TO submit the ques-
ton to the people at the earliest op-
portunity.
These pledges might have been car
ried out and the question voted upon
by the people nearly three months
ago. But the matter was unreason-
ably and unnecessarily delayed. until
the ID. u. r. signified its willingness
to accept this franchise, wholly draft
ed by the city's attorneys, as Its
champions assert, and with the franz
ing OF which the u. U. r. attorneys
had nothing 10 do! Heaven save the
mark!
And now, forsooth, these same
champions assert with the utmost
oomplacency that mo unnecessary
delay should be allowed before it is
submitted TO the deciding vote of the
people" OF course not Does not the
blessed ID. u. r. want IL submitted;
and surely that Is sufficient,
What recks II that 10000 voters OF
the city have for nearly two years
been knocking at the doors OF the
council and other authorities, begging
the privilege of having the question
of the municipal ownership of our
street railways submitted to the de-
Gliding vote of the people?
The fact is, the people are mot in

discuss the question whether the ID.

has the right to exercise the option
in the proposed ordinance, and does

d. u. r. Is wholly honest, why does
IL not join in the call for vote on
the question of municipal ownership.
and II the people vote three-ffths In

proposed, and needs no franchise.
IL the people do not vote. then IL

A fairer adjustment would make IL

small enough, showing profits OF 100

ton, paving and repairs. which the
city assumes. but all OF which ex-
pense is included in Glasgow's cost
of maintenance and operation.
To accentuate the misnomer three
cent fares" remember that the low
est fare under the proposed franchise
is three and one-eighth cents, or $2l2.-
500 per year more than three cents
on 17O,000,000 passengers; that the
average figured out by the champions
OF the franchise Is 3.43 cents. or $751;
900 per year more than three-cent
fares. and that the low average l have
taken OF 1885 cents shows an excess
over three-cent fares OF $S92,500 per
year--a nice little plum TO be taken
from the people.
I notice by the press interviews
with citizens, that many business men
said they had not looked into the pro-
posed franchise fully lthey could not

scented as the realization OF three
cent fares, alas!
Time was when three-cent fares
three cents, not 3 Is and 4l-6 would
have satisfied the people of Detroit;
but the food Of light let in on the SIT
uation, as regards cost of construc-
ton, maintenance, operation, and car
riage of passengers, has taught them
that real threecent fares and the best
service can only be secured by rele-
eating the private corporation TO the
rear.
This proposed franchise is good for
at least s25.000,000 to the company.
during its IL years of life, II grant
ed. And why should the people be
mulcted in such an enormous sum?
Leaving the legal phases to be dis
cussed by those versed in the law,
let us look at some facts and fig
ures:
II is claimed by the advocates OF
this franchise that the ID. u. r. will
carry 10000, 900 passengers in 1912.
A few years ago l looked into the
Glasgow situation quite thoroughly,
and will use the data of that time, al
though the situation there has bet
tered annually since.
When Glasgow carried 100000, 900
passengers at an average fare OF 1873
cents apiece, it had. after paying oper'
ating expenses, taxes as though pri-
vately owned, fixed charges, the nee
essary apportionment to sinking fund
for the extinction OF debt. a formid-
able depreciation fund, and goodly
sum TO the common good (help 10 the
general taxi net surplus Of $4,000.
The cost of carrying passengers aver
aged 1.725 cents, thus showing a net
profit of .255 cent per passenger.
But IL has been truly said the diff
ference in cost of labor is great. so
we must allow for that. Instead OF
s1.25 per nine-hour day and a uni
form, the pay here averages about 20
cents per hour, or 1921 for nine
hours. This shows $425 Qess the uni
form) against the ID. u. r. for each OF,
say, 1000 men, or $S50,000 per year,
which sum must be added TO the cost
of carrying passengers when com
pared with Glasgow's 1.725 cents. This
would add one-half-cent apiece.
When I saw the tracks there under
construction, l was informed that the
concrete cost $3.50 per cubic yard.
The champions OF this proposed fran
chise aver that II costs the ID. u. r.
$4.71, or nearly per cent more. While
IL may cost more now than when l
was given the $3.50 figure in Glasgow,
we will concede that II costs 5 per
cent more here, and for this and
other added costs OF materials used
let us be liberal and allow $4,000 per
year.
Thus we must raise $1,020,000 per
year for increased cost In Detroit, or
so cent per passenger.
Added to the Glasgow cost OF 1.725
cents per passenger, this gives the
cost OF carrying passengers in Detroit
at 1925 cents-a most liberal esti-
mate.
In a strained argument TO show
that the proposed franchise would
give cheaper fare than the defeated
Codd- Hutchins attempt, it's press
champion figures 3.43 cents as the re-
ceipts on the proposed eight-for-a-
