Mishawaka has long felt the need
of a down town park and when the
matter was suggested TO those having
the sale of the lot in charge they fell
in with the idea.
Ii is proposed TO have the Wooden
company's band give one or more of
its weekly concerts at the new park
and the city will be asked 20 provide
drinking water each evening.
Although Mishawaka is fairly well
supplied with public parks. none of
them are situated near the center OF

of having one SO centrally located
will be greatly appreciated by the
families of the city
The benches Will be placed in posi-

ATTEMPT TO DRIVE THE
BUTTON FACTORY AWAY

Business Men Will Work to
Have 1t Remain Benton
Harb0r Wants 1t.

Much comment was caused Tuesday
evening among the business men of
the city By the announcement that an
effort was being made TO get rid of
the button factory on account Of it's
alleged insanitary condition. 1t is
said that the place breeds mosquitoes
and that it IS infested with rodents
The complaint, it is said. was made
TO the board OF health by residents Of
EdgeWater drive.
Although the button factory is a
comparatively small concern, il en-
ploys % men and pays out annually
some $4,000 in wages. Even this
sum, which goes into the pockets of
the wage earners, is an item which II
is felt cannot be "sneeZed' at. The
merchants look upon the button fac
tory as a. valuable asset 10 the city
and have determined TO take steps to
have IL remain here.

surprise was expressed among the
members that notice had already been
served on the company TO move out

among the business men as to wheth-
er 10 is OF such a nature as to warrant
the authorities I'm driving the factory
out of the city. They state that the
shells from which the buttons are
made are not so unsightly as the
thousands OF empty cans which line
the river in front Of the city. The
company has employed the services

HOYNE

Inc operating DOdIu u Tic CulCdSO
Surface Lines is nothing and nobody.
1t has no money. 1t is not responsible
to the city, state nor nation for what
it does. It ought to be wiped off the
map in hurry.
This is the main idea in the bill of
information filed in Superior court by
States Attorney Hoyne in quo war
rantO action to dissolve the unifica-
ton traction ordinance declared I'M
lawful and the Chicago Surface
Lines.
Glenn E. Plumb, HOyne's assistant,
declares he has never seen a clearer
case of a city ordinance going con-
traTy to the state laws. The suit will
be argued Feb. "a.
Under this unifcation ordinance
the management Of all the street rail
ways in Chicago is turned over to
board of seven persons, said Plumb.
''The companies can put anybody
they want to on the board of opera
ton. They can stick messenger
boys, bookkeepers. saIoonkeepers,
pickpOckets or anybody else on this
board whom they might want as their
dummies. These dummies would be
responsible to nobody. They have no
treasury to sue and there are no
criminal penalties that can be impOs-
ed on them.
''The profits of operation go to the
corporations that own the car lines
and all responsibilities and duties go
to the board of operation Of the Chi
cagO Surface Lines under this ordi-
nance. Those who are supposed to
be legally responsible for what goes
on in the management of the lines
hold no stock nor bonds, have no
bank account, no cash reserve. They
are not elected by the stockholders of
the companies, as the state constitu-
ton requires the managers of a cor
pOratiOn to be. From every stand
point the board Of operation of the
G.. S. L. is the most IRRESPONSIBLE pub
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1915-02-03

Nowhere in the law can you find
sanction for the city turning over to
individuals the management of prop
erty owned by a corporation. 1 don't
see how laws could be more explicit
than they are on this The So
called unification ordinances jammed
through the local transportation
committee and city council hurriedly
last year grant to the four street rail-
way companies the right to hand over
all cars, car lines and power houses
to a board of seven men to operate.
These individuals on the board are
not chartered by the state. They
don't have the responsibilities of a
corporation. They cannot be reached
for violation of laws. Altogether, it
was the cleVerest plan that could be
devised for traction owners keeping
the profits while throwing away all
responsibilities.
The members are: L. A. Busby,
president Chicago Surface Lines
board of operation; John J. WiIkie,
assistant to the president; Markham
B. Orde, treasurer! Fred S. Hoffman,
secretary; F. L. Hupp, assistant Sec
rotary; John J. Duck, auditor; Henry
A. Blair, chairman of the board.
