The commissioners were seen rela-

statement as to their attitude towards
the proposition. Commissioner Fair
ley, speaking for the commission,
stated that the published statement
regarding the offer of the Traction

mission had not found any rule in
arithmetic by which they were able
to see just where $4,000 a year saw

tention to the fact that, while the
published statement contained only
features mentioned in the written pro
posal made the city, it omitted what
he regarded as the substantial ele-
ments embraced in the proposition the
city was asked to accept. He called
attention to the fact that. among 9th
