by Judge Lacy and Charles Hamp-

applause for either side. the women
apparently being undecided as to
the purchase plan.
Judge Lacy admitted. when ques-
toned by woman taxpayer, that
he was not anxious to place in the
hands OF the administration the i'm
mense amount OF money necessary
to the purchase. but declared that
his faith was pinned to the civil SER
vice commission that would be ap.
pointed, which, he thought, would
place the street car system on q
par with the fire department, public
lighting and water commission from
the standpoint of management.
Mr.. Hampton pleaded with the
women to place their trust In Henry
