mystery about the Cooley Appraisal
and ITS publication just before thu
election" declares Alfred Lucking
attorney for the street railway com
mission. This appraisal was made
for the d. q. R.. at its expense and
to enable II to hoat more bonds
The appraisal was begun over one
year ago. II included the city lines
and the ID. U. r. interurban lines
all mingled and not separated.
Last May I applied to Mr.. Cooley
In Ann Arbor. to give me q rough
statement Of the value Of the lines
outside Detroit, which were covered
by the same mortgage ~ the city
lines. I told him ! did not need his
city valuations, as we had our own
appraisal. but we bad no appraisal
VI the outside interurban lines. He
said his work was practically done
hut footings had NOT been made and
that Il could all be completed by
June 10, under no circumstances
later than June 20.
"A few days later I received a
letter from Mr.. Cooley, saying he
could not give the information with.
out q written order from the Michi.
gan Railroad Commission. This
wrote for and received reply that
the work was being done for and at
the expense OF the d. U. r. and the
railroad commission could not, direct
Mr. Cooley TO give me the informa.
ton nor had II any control until the
appraisal was fled in lansing.
Il ther applied. beth verbally and
in writing tune 2S). to the attorney
for the d. U. r. for q letter from
the d. U. R. to the Michigan rail-.

Cooley to give me the interurban

not otherwise. I made no furthel
