MAYOR DUMPS
CAR ORDINANCE,
AS TIMES SAID
Shifts to Gillespie Plan of Three
Cent Fares Where Franchises
Have Expired
COUNCIL COMMITTEE
MEETS MONDAY NIGHT
Asked to Take Up the Latest
Scheme of Vacillating En-
ecutive

Mayor Marx, acting on the advice
OF those directing his street car cam
paign for him, has asked that a spe-
cial meeting of the council franchise
committee be held next Monday night
to approve for submission to the coun-
Gil resolution declaring three cents
the legal rate OF fare on all streets
where the ID. u. RS franchise rights
have expired
This is the plan that Police Com
missioner Gillespie suggested to the
mayor weeks ago, and urged him to
accept, In preference to the railway or
dinance prepared by the mayors legal
advisers. Allan II. Frazer and Alfred
Lucking. The police commissioners,
who is the mayors political and con
fdential adviser was quite provoked
when Marx turned down his plan for
that advocated by the legal experts.
When the ID. u. r. rejected the
Marx ordinance, The Times printed
story that the mayor would dump"
his ordinance as soon as possible. The
mayor strenuously denied that he in
tended TO do any such thing, and his
office friends protessed to be amused
|.at the thought OF Our fighting mayor
backing away from any proposition
that proposed to force concessions
from the ID. u. r. for the people.
Il will never desert my ordinance"
declared the mayor.
The Times said he would. and The
Times was right
A few days after the mayor made
his "stand-pat' statement, his friends
qualified it by explaining that by "or-
dlnance' the mayor meant plan
any plan that would force the ID
L. X. TO give some concessions. The
mayor followed this lead with state
ment that he figured on compelling the
ID. IT, r.. by resolution, to give three
cent fares on the streets where the
franchises have expired.
Then you will dump the ordinance
which demands three-cent fares on all
lines, extensions. better service. com
pany to do paving between tracks. pro-
yides for the purchase OF the system
by the city. and in addition demands
payment Of all back taxes and rem.
tails. including the rental ON the Fort
St line. where the supreme court has
held the city has no right to collect?'
The mayor stammered and tried 20
explain that by advocating the pas
sage Of a resolution he wound not be
dumping the ordinance
1T will be getting some immediate
concession for the people, and that Is
what | have been fighting for. said
the mayor
The mayors plan from the first has
been to get lower fares, pending mu.
nicipal ownership" explained one OF
the mayors Office advisers This can
be done by ordinance, resolution or
proclamation.
Police Commissioner Gillespie told
the mayor some time ago tTat If the
latter followed ont his present plan,
the missioner would protect
'three-cent fare passengers to the
limit OF his police power,
Since his return from Lake st.

Secretary Ferris in Meantime
Will Prepare Draft of Pro-
posed New Law
BIG ISSUES ARE LIKELY
10 COME UP AGAIN
Believed ReactiOnaries Will Re
new Attack on NOn-Partisan
Ballot and Recall

Attire deliberations covering three
months time, the charter commission
adjourned, Friday to Sept. 10, to al
low Ralph Hall Ferris, secretary of
the revision committee, chance to
prepare a final draft Of the proposed
new law. There are several small
questions yet to be decided and some
of the more importan tissues will
probably be gone over again before
the commissioners are all content
with the result.
The non-partisan ballot is sure to
be attacked again by the reaction
aries, and the recall provision will
probably be subjected to another at.
tempt to render 1t Intellectual. The
question OF consolidating a number OF
the city departments under admins
tration heads for the purpose Of sim
plification, will meet opposition and
will not pass unless It Is forced upon
the minority.
Secretary Ferris, who Is being paid
for his work during the intervening
six weeks, Is expected to get all
action and to phrase and arrange all
the sections Of the charter.
When the commission reconvenes
it will probably meet In the evenig
as there are only five days more pay
in the treasury and the work will un-
doubtedly take several weeks. The
members dependent upon their own
earnings will have to devote their
days to their work and do the work
Of the city In the evenings.
Before the adjournment was taken
Commissioner Eikhoff submitted a
proposition to have certificates OF in
debtedness issued by the city In pay
ment of public Improvement work.
There is question as to whether
such certificates would be legal The
matter will be considered later.
