HOW DO you LIKE 1T?

The franchise shouters are
making much Of the fact that
II the Thompson-Hutchins ~
year franchise is granted by the
people, the city will get much
needed extensions at once.
THESE ARE EXTENSIONS
WHICH HAVE BEEN NEEDED
AND DEMANDED FOR YEARS.
These are extensions, the
lack Of which has caused in.
convenience and hardship for
thousands OF Detroiters.
These are extensions the lack
Of which has held back the
growth of the city.
These are extensions which
the Detroit United Railway has
refused positively to build,
despite demands for them.
Building these extensions
would mean INCREASED BUSl-
NESS AND INCREASED REV.
ENUES FOR THE DETROIT
UNITED RAILWAY.
why, tnen, mas the Oetgot
United Railway refused to
build these extensions?
Here is the answer:
II has held back, defiantly,
refusing to bulge an inch from
its arrogant position, for the
purpose Of using the necessity
for these extensions as a club
over the head Of the city at this
very time when, with the as
sistance Of the mayor of the
city under the club, il is trying
to get from the people ~
year franchise.
The position Of the company
is, in other words:
II you want to take care Of
your outlying districts; II you
want to grow and IL you want
these extensions, give Us the
privilege Of supplying such ser
vice as we like for IL years
more and PAY OUR PAVING
6ilLS in the bargain, OR you
DON'T GET THEM.
