the matter OF transportation facilities.
for illustration. IL IA quite impossible
for the business Institutions OF any
community to obtain from the rail-
roads necessary transportation facili-
ties without the cooperation OF the
officials OF the community.
1t is obyioIs also that government
must provide for the education OF

Verge Toward Common Point.
so at length the pathways or
those in industry and those in politics
verge toward common point where
joint effort is essential.
Let us all resolve we will recog
nize that our friends in politics, our
friends who conduct the newspapers.
our friends in business desire TO be
or real use in the community. that
the great majority wish all employees
to work reasonable hours under
healthful conditions desire good
schools for the boys and girls. that
they want ample Fairgrounds tor
youth; parks for all the people;
healthy homes; good payements and
sewers; good water; clean streets
and alleys; ample fire protection;
good police protection; less smoke;
our places OF entertainment and IL
censed institutions adequately super
yised; abundant railroad facilities
and satisfactory street car transpor-
tation.
when in this mind to cooperate,
let Us gain increased use OF our SUI
perh river by having a larger part OF
its front as park or parks Tor all the
people, and by building driveway
along it's banks and beside the beau
tiful lake nearby Let US nave mu-
nicipal docks for use when the trans
portation OF freight through the en-
larged Erie canal leading from the
seaboard to the Great Lakes begins
TO be a factor OF importance In the
commerce centering about this re-
gion.
Let us originate a plan for per
manent board OF trustees. with ade-
quate provisions for its perpetuation,
representing the government, indus
try and finance OF the city. TO receive
gifts from individuals by bequest or
otherwise, the income thereirom 10
be expended for such civic purposes
as may be designated by the donors,
IN,
or charity as the best judgment OF
such a board shall dictate.
let US encourage gifts TO the pub
lie by assuring the intelligent hand
ling of the income therefrom.
Let us make Detroit, with It's
amazing growth and prosperity, a
light upon hilltop that Will rehect
not alone a story OF material pros
perity, but of material prosperity put
to useful purposes through the coop
Grafton OF industry and government.
