POOR COMMISSIONERS
SQUABBLE OVER FUNDS

The city and county poor commits.
sioners squabbling over the question
OF paying salaries out OF the temper
cry relief fund The city commission,
June 10. raised the salaries Of In.
spectors Kolb and Jones, Dr. J. F.
Kilroy and Supt. Dolan paying the
money out Of the special relief fund
without consulting the county super
ihtendents. On the advice Of John
c. Near, chairman OF the county
board the auditors refused TO pay the
salary increases. and the matter has
been referred TO Prosecutor Frazer.
This is the first time since the city
commission was created 20 years ago
that the use OF the relief fund as a
salary grab bag" has been opposed.
The fund Of $4,000 for the relief OF
the poor, is contributed by city and
county taxpayers, and II is doubtful
II the money can be used for salary
increases.

1T was noticeable that the prest-

the party. President Wilson's com

president OF the United States was
significant in that IL placed party

CONGESTION BY
DOWNTOWN LOOP
F. w. Baumgartner Has Plan
for Diverting Street Car
Traffic From Woodward
SAYS PARALLEL AVENUES
SHOULD BE EXTENDED
Would Open BrOs4way and

There is growing conviction
among Detroit business men that the
time has come for the city TO take
on the metropolitan character to
which it Is entitled. to shake off at
once and for all the handicap OIL

tradition that has held up Woodward

H. ercially and socially has been per
petuated by an unfortunate routing
Of street cars more than by any othef
one thing, according TO those VINO
are asking for reform. The pressing
need, In order 90 get immediate relief
is they say, a reorganization OF the
car service including the adoption OF
some sort of a loop arrangement to
relieve the daily congestion on Wood

and, incidentally, make other streets

poses.
THE trouble Is more with the pub
lie than with the ID. u. r. in this mat
ter" said f. w Baumgartner TO The
Times. The people who ride on the
cars do not take the trouble to think
view Of the welfare. OF the whole city.
II the company proposes anything Of
the kind. a howl is raised that Il Is
trying to put something over on
the public And yet, no one else
seems TO be willing TO take the initia-
tive and push through the much
needed reform.
There are many possible ways Ia
which TO work out the new scheme
One for instance might be to run the
different lines that cross Bagley-ave
down that thoroughfare and other
streets in the same general direction.
Thence across Woodward on JEFF
ferson-ave. or some street below and
back on Madison-ave. and connecting
streets When any car strikes this
loop. let it go around and out again
There would be need for very few
cars within the loop. Shoppers could
then reach any part OF a large area
with orly q short walk from the car.
They should be allowed 10 ride TO any
point around the loop on a single fare
and pay the second time only when
the car started out again.
Another possibility would be to
loop some OF the Woodward-ave cars
around Grand Circus park. That
brings UP plan. which believe
should be carried out whether any
thing else Is done or not II is TO
open mp Washington-blvd. and Broad
way by extending driveweys through
the park connecting these streets
with Woodward-ave. at it's intersec;
