agreement that the financial situation

the health and well-being of citizens.
TO suggestions by State utility com
missoners that revenues he increased.
The missions represented were those

f. +. Ingram. OF Detroit, retired
ma nufacturer, who described himself
merely as citizen, suggested public
ownership of the street car plants. a
nominal charge and absorption of any
operating deficit by taxation of the
land values of the property served by

alternative to municipal operation.
Most Of the State commission repre-
sentativcs who testified favored CO.
operative control over the trolley lines
by Municipalities and state commits

Mayor CouZens, however. insisted that
home rule should prevail and the peo-
