the street car patrons will receive

Now, believe that the best plan
for settlement pending municipal
ownership would be- instead OF re-
pealing the present rentals, make
them not less than 81 900 per day
This would benefit all citizens and
would be much easier to enforce. and
would save the expense OF the police

ing the chances for disputes. quar-
rels and litigation. But If all new

would cross the main lines OF the

without paralleling any of the pres
