BY $3.50 tonight, a roll call rec
ord vote will show whether the house

peared foregone this afternoon.
Only faint murmur OF dissent
to passage OF the rule followed the
outburst OF ayes. For two hours the
house had debated the passage of the
rule. but considering its success a
foregone conclusion, members swept
into discussion OF the merits OF the
!. resolution itself
Several speakers opened an unex-

that the resolution does not prevent
manufacture for personal use-but
merely for sale. Under such cir
cumstances, they argued. the mea-

Prof. Edward w. Bemis appraises
the physical property owned by the
ID. U. r. In the one-fare zone at $16,-
100000. This figure, representing the
reproduction cost, less depreciation,
as OF July l, 1914, includes 222 miles

BY direction of Corporation Counsel
Lawson the paving between the

mately to $3.50, 900. The ID. u. r. land
has been appraised on the basis OF
the values OF the land adjoining each

company. The board of municipal
railway commissioners announced the
appraisal figure, Monday afternoon,

Prof Bemis' figure is almost half

last spring as the reproduction value
of it's property within the one-fare
