STRAP-HANCERS VOTE : -.
:. TO DECIDE WHETHER
" THEY WANT SEATS
Minneapolis "Service-at-Cost'
Question Up Today for
Referendum i.
(By United Press.)

Minneapolis, Dec. 9.-Minneapolis
strap-hangers were trying to. decide
today whether they want seat on
the street cars.
The "service at cost" franchise
proposed in an ordinance passed by
the city council and granting the
Minneapolis street railway company
a 25-year franchise in place Of its
present agreement was submitted to
a special election. Previously Mayor
Meyers had vetoed the councils ac-
ton, but the courts ruled against
him.
Under the ordinance the council
has power to determine whether the
company is giving reasonable" serv-
ice and the company has lee-way to
increase it's fares if necessary to pro-
vide the service the people demand.
The company, however, is limited to
a definite earning on it's investment.
The Flour City has been paying S
cents for a ride on the cars and dur
ing the war and continuing since, the
service has been "cut to the bone"
company officials said, because they
cannot give pre-war service on latter
the war" costs.
The company has already accepted
the proposed ordinance anad today
the proposed ordinance and today
accept it.

Chicago, Dec 9.-Prominent re-
publicans, civic boosters and business
men were on their way from Chicago
to Washington today to present Chi
cago's claims for the permanent
camp Of the republicans in conven-
