Detroit Operators Pre-.
fer to Keep Deals
In Own Hands

Attracted by Henry Ford's plans
for an Industrial center on the River
Rouge. and oy the tremendous
growth OF Detroit in the face of ad.
verse conditions elsewhere, real es-
tate operators from several parts OF
the United States and Canada have
swooped down upon the city, intent
on making their fortunes.
A Detroit real estate dealer said.
Friday. that he had been In negotia.
ton with Canadian operators, and
that he knew of other real estate
mon from Toronto and Los Angeles
who had been looking over the De.
troit neld and trying to buy prop.
erty.
'They found that most OF the
land they wanted had already been
snapped up by Detroit real estate
men, who preferred to develop II
themselves" he said. II don't know
what success they had with other
people. but after we had talked
over matters with them, we decided
20 keep hold OF the property which
we control. They had plenty of
money. and were perfectly willing
to make a big cash deposit.
"Detroit's prosperity and the fact
that things are dead In Canada have
brought the attention OF the Cana.
dian capitalists and real estate men
to Detroit. They find that there is
no opening for their money In their
own country, and they are attracted
by the growth Of this city and by
it's prospects for the future. The
announcement OF the Ford plans
gave them the final impetus for a
rush to Detroit. but they are finding
that Detroit people are awake TO
the situation and that most OF the
good things have been pre-empted."
II is said that one party OF Mont
zeal capitalists was ready TO in
vest 100000 In Detroit real estate.
IL the right venture could be. found.

Lucking Studied Point
Carefully In Franz :
ing Agreement

Both Alfred Lucikng and Richard
!. Lawson. attorneys for the stree,
car commission, are out OF the city
and an authoritative answer TO the
statement in the Times Of Thurs
day. made by lawyer who said
that ID. u. r. bondholders may in,
tervene, in spite OF the action OF
the trustees. In case the price fixed
by the circuit judges were not high
enough TO satisfy their obligations
cannot be obtained
Unofficially. however. II is stated
that Mr.. Lucking studied this point
very carefully during the drawing
up OF the agreement, and satisfied
himself that 1t would be impossible
for any bondholder to upset the de.
cision OF the circuit court.
Section No. Z, OF the agreement
provides:
I'm case the price fixed shall be
less than the mortgage debts, then
the debts secured by the underlying
mortgages upon the said interurban
properties (amounting in all to
S4.ss0.000) shall be paid by
the railway company as they re-
spectively mature, and the property
hereby agreed to be sold shall he
freed entirely OF the said bonded
debts to be paid by the railway
company as they mature" etc.
This means. II is contended. that
the price can be fixed az low as
$20.000,0O0 without giving the bond
holders an opportunity OF complain
ing, since the entire bonded debt In
question Is $24.900.000.
But II Is further held that II is
specifically stated, in the bonds.
that the trustees shall have full
power 10 act, in case the bonds
are In jeopardy. Mr.. Lucking is
said TO have made sure OF this
point. and to have looked up a
number OF cases bearing on the
proposition. to assure himself that
the bondholders must be bound by
the price fixed by the court. and
cannot bring suit to prevent the
city from operating the lines.
II IL also pointed out that mas
much M the city will be in control
Of the lines within 30 days after the
suit Is begun In circuit court, II
would be no easy matter for dissat.
ished bondholders to get the lines
turned back to the d. u. r. man.
agement by the courts.
The agreement also provides, in
section No. 7:
III the price so fixed shall be less
than the direct mortgages upon the
lines within the city q. O., less than
S20, o00, 0o0). the difference shall be
either provided for In cash by the
railway. or amply secured by the
railway. as the court may In its de-
cree direct"
This provision, II Is held, protects
the bondholders. no matter how low
the price may be. and secures the
city against any possible interven-
ton.
Organized labor Is by no means
a unit, II is said, in opposition to
the agreement. Many leaders have
assured the street railway commits
sion that they do not agree with
the stand taken by Frank Martell,
in a meeting of'the federation. last
week. In which he advocated oppo-
sition to the agreement.
