propelled by vapor made from straw.
and booming along at express train
speed.
Detroit has Just decided that the
future prosperity and good will Of
its citizens depends on the new Ford
jitney trolley.
Today canvassers Of the vote cast
for municipal ownership OF its street
car system, found that the people
want these new street cars by an
overwhelming majority.
1t stood behind its millionaire
mayor, James Couzens yesterday. and
voted to take the main street car
lines away from q privately-owned
traction company and put the new
Ford gasoline surface cars into ac-
tion.
Didn't Wait for Full Count.
The vote had not been completely
canvassed before Mayor Couzens call
ed a meeting OF the city council. It
was. perhaps, the shortest council
meeting on record.
Gentlemen" he said, "the people
want OUR street cars back. Hero is
Mr.. Mercer beside me and want him
to have a permit to start digging dirt
by noon"
"But the vote is not all in." object
ed a councilman.
Enough Is in to know we have
won," said the mayor. "Now Mercer
(who is a street commissioner you
telephone to those men to start the
steam shovels. We will issue $780,
900 in bonds to start the proposition
off and issue them in 500 and $50
bonds, so the folks can buy them. We
are Off"
Work starts Right Off.
And before the vote was all In
work had been commenced. which,
perhaps, sets a record for prompt
municipal action.
"Within one year the city will
have built 162 miles of municipality
owned street car lines" said Mayor
Couzens later. Detroit has hung on
straps too long. We are now going
to take over the two main trunk
lines and build extensions into sew
eral districts where land is cheap
and a man can own his own home
without mortgaging his soul"
"our folks have been standing this
Public-de-damned stuff for good
many years, mayor SOuzens balu
"They have kicked and talked and
raised numerous Issues to stop the
nuisance, but we never got anywhere
with II until now.
$4,000, 200 As Starter.
'T was sure the workingmen and
women were tired enough of this
proposition to stand with me. and we
went to do II this spring. Now we
will have s15,000.o00 to start with
and more coming.
Henry Ford tells me he can give
us these cars at n whole lot less than
the cars we now have cost. He also
has proved that he can make them
run and run fast. He also has proved
he can make gasoline out OF straw
and save us money in that way. Now
Detroit Is going to have hundreds of
what the boys call Jit-Trolleys run
by gasoline.
"These cars can run fast as any ex-
press train. All Detroit Is going to
joy-ride to work within q year. They
are all going to have a scat and ac-
cording to our figures, the city Ia go
ing to do II at 2 cents a car mile
less than what is costs now"
