authorities ought to have the right
to initiate extensions and the reason
abIeness of any particular extension
should not be determined solely by
! the prospective profit from its opera
| ton as a separate unit, but by it's
effect upon the profits of the entire
system.
The committees recommended the
indeterminate franchise with a maxi
mum time limit, on the principle of
the recent traction settlement fran
chises granted in Chicago, Cleveland
and New York City. Opposition to
the Wisconsin type of indeterminate
permit was based on the fear that it
tends to become perpetual, as 1t can
be terminated only by purchase-and
purchase means payment of the full
value in cash in lump sum at the
time of purchase. This, II was said,
tends to make municipalization more
difficult as time goes on.
The committee favored the idea OF
making utilities commence to pay for
themselves even under private opera
ton, by means of an amortization fund
maintained out of earnings. This
fund should be large enough at least
to wipe our all franchise and other
intangible elements of capital value.
SO that the price at which the city
can buy will be kept well within the
actual value OF the physical property.
The committee urged the import
ance of a systematic campaign for
the recovery of control over the per
petuaI and long term franchises now
outstanding. So long as the utilities
in the heart of the city continue to
be owned and operated under unsat'
isfactory, out-of-date franchises, the
city, It asserted, can have no adequate
control of the development of its street
railways or other utilities.
The report was signed by Or. VII
cox, as chairman, and by Robert Treat
Paine of Boston; James w. s. Peters
of Kansas City. Abraham f. Pinansh
of Boston and Charles Richardson and
Clinton Rogers Woodruff of Philadel-
phia. Professor Edw-rd w. Bemis,

Diver Learns Identity Of

Port Huron, Mich, Nov. 15.-The
overturned vessel lying in Lake Huron
near here since last Sundays storm,
today was definitely identified as the
Charles S. Price. William Baker. a
diver, made the identification. The
Price is 504 feet long and has been
lying in the lake since the storm, only
few feet of the bow above water.
The vessel, owned in Cleveland, is
said to have carried a crew of 2S.
All must have been lost.
The opinion of Diver Baker is the
Price did not sink as a result of a
collision.
Establishment of the identity of the
mystery ship" makes certain that the
boats claimed by the storm on Lake
Huron were the John A. Mclean,
Charles S. Price, James S. Carruthers,

instead he drove the car during the

night he was driving to Keene from
Gilsum and in rounding a curve the
automobile slowed, hitting a large rock,
displacing it about six inches. The
car went about 80 feet farther, turned
