the way the schedule will go to the

the proposed amendment giving the

The selection Of Representative
LEngle, welI-known throughout the

municipal ownership in every form
except the ownership of telephone sys=
TENS, assures an active investigation
and possible legislation on that sub
ject by congress.

has seen and heard considerable OF his
efforts to buy up the csr lines and run
them as a city proposition. The cleo
trio light plant there is already a city
property.
you have two car lines 51era, where
L'EngIe, and If one wouldn't do you
ought to have universal transfers. AL
so you have an elegant opportunity to
cut the cost of electric light IN half by
a municipal light plant. L am inter
ested greatly in the way yoE clean the
streets here, and I'm glad to hear that
there is already a beginning of NUM-
cipal ownership in that direction and
in the direction of a, municipal asphalt
plant. That is the only way to beat
the asphalt trust"
