prospect. After more than a decade
of pickering between the city and the
Detroit United Railway Company,
terms for the actual transfer of the
property to the city have been prac-
tically decided upon and there is
every indication that by July the
municipalit will be in actual control
of the system. Sale of the property

largest municipality controlled street
railway system in the world. Value
of the company's property has been
variously appraised at from SIS
100000 to SIS, 100000. At a spe-
cial election, to be held during the
latter part of June, voters of the
city will be asked to give their final
approval to the purchase plan.
