COMMISSIONER
DUE AUGUST %
Additional Financial
Statements Likely to
Be Issued

No comment on the statement OF
finances issued by the street rail.
way commission on Tuesday in con.
nection with the proposal TO pur-
chase the ID. l.. R. lines vas offered
by Attorney Alfred Lucking, the
boards legal adviser. Wednesday
but Secretary Hayden said that a
further statement would possibly be
forthcoming, and perhaps more than
one. In the course OF the campaign
as the commission thought best.
A discrepancy between the profits
as announced in former statement
OF the commission and those an.
nounced in Tuesdays statement was
explained by secretary Hayden by
saying that part OF $294.0 listed
by the company as depreciation
reserve" for the whole system had
been included as expense in the last
statement. instead OF as profit. The
S2s4,000 was divided. as accurately
as possible. between the intcrurban
lines and the city lines.
1t was learned. further. that the
d. L. II, has kept no accurate d.
vision OF its expenses. Jumping in
terurban and city lines in one &C
count. The interurban lines, which
are not owned, but merely CONTROL.
ed, have separate accounts. but
those which are owned by the d. L.
X. are included with the city lines
In the total expenditures. From
the c6mpanys books II is impossi-
on the Woodward line, the Brush
line, the Pontiac line. or any other
individual line.
In figuring the estimate of expen-
diture, higher factor was used
than that which the ID. L. II. has
employed. The city experts esti-
mated expense at So cents per car
mile. whereas the figures OF the
company show that It's expenses
have averaged less than FIVE cents
per car mile for several years.
In trying TO be conservative. the
commission not only increased the
factor Of expense. but declined to
take account of number of econo-
mics which they believe can be in
troduced. There was no inclusion
Of interest for balances kept in the
banks. which the y. T. r. statement
for 1914 puts at about $4,000.
II is stated that assurance of al
least four and one.half per cent in
terest on the sinking fund is OBJ
tanned from the expectation on the
part OF the commission that 1t will
be able To buy in ID. u. r. four and
onehalf and FIVE per cent bonds al
par or less than par.
James Couzens, president OF the
commission. is due TO Detroit Aug.
2S. but may not be able 10 make his
schedule 1t Is possible that he will
be delayed until after Sept. /. On
his return, the campaign for the
agreement will start in earnest.

DIRECTORS OF
RECREATION TAKE
OWN MEDICINE

The flag drill ar a means OF build
Ing up uniformly strong and healthy
bodies is a regular feature OF the
commission. Supt. I. w. Jayne
weekly meetings of the recreation
says he believes that what one can't
do. one can't teach others to do.
These meetings have been held
every Monday morning from 8 TO
~, before the days work on the
Fairgrounds begins. They consist
Of the informal lecture and meet
ing conducted by Mr.. Jayne, and
the athletic work under the direc-
ton OF Supervisor Emil Katz. As
director OF the Turnverein and Cass
high physical training departments,
Mr.. Katz is we'll known In athletic
circles.
The waving OF hags instead OF
dumbbells or other instruments ad-
mits the participation Of the more
delicate as we'll as the husky boys
and girls. And II Is these frail chill
dren that the playground aims to
assist. In the flag drill they learn
those principles OF gymnastics
which would otherwise be denied
them. either through lack of
strength to take part In so strenu-
Gus an exercise, or through natural
backwardness in entering drill In
which only the sturdy can excel.

EQUAL SUFFRAGE
BOUND TO COME,
ASSERTS KELLEY

Congressman Patrick II. Kelley
made a speech at the luncheon ten
dered him by the suffragists Of Oak.
land county, at Pine lake, Monday.
In which he gave his views on sui
frage, and also national armament
and child labor.
Mr.. Kelley said that when he was
elected 10 represent the people
Michigan he had made up his mind
10 always take the side which would
raise the standard of civilization in
any question which came up. ire
spective of party. With this prin-
ciple to guide him. he espoused the
cause OF equal suffrage. He pointed
out the fact that as Onethird OF
congress Is composed OF southern
ers, and as they are always stick
lers for states rights, an amend
ment to the constitution granting
equal suffrage will be difficult to put
through. though he believes that ul-
timately II will come.
Mr.. Kelley also said that the ques.
ton OF militarism will soon stare
us in the face; that he Is opposed
to standing army. but believes In
an increase Of the National Guard
and would like to build up the navy
10 such size that no European
country would care to combat II. As
regards child labor. Mr.. Kelley will
oppose 1t in any way possible. 9th
er speakers at the luncheon were
