History Of Negotiations
Prior to the agreement today the
Mayor had amended his original de.
mand of an annual . per cent rental
to the following: That the company
should run and operate the line for a
= per cent rental beginning in jan
annually until it reached O per cent
in 1927.
Mr.. Mitten countered in the follow.
ing manner: The T.. X. 4. offered
nothing the first year. and then l per
cent annually increasing to 5 per cent
In 1928.
In the hope of forcing an agreement
last week the Mayor sent a message to
Council in which he urged the operation
OF the line beginning next October, and
offered to let the company run it for
nothing for three months, until jan
uary. Although it looked for time as
If the Frankford line would be tied up
for another year. the maneuvering on
both sides together with concessions
brought matters to tOday's climax.
Concessions Made
Among the concessions made are:
Agreement 10 run the elevated cars
from f'rankford to Sixty ninth and
Market streets for one fare.
Issuance of free transfers from sur
face lines north of Market street to
the elevated line.
Issuance of transfers from the Frank
ford Market street cars TO lines running
north and south to Market street, Civ
ing the Frankford riders the same priv
ilege as those extended to riders on the
other lines.
At first the company agreed only TO
carry passengers as far as Fifteenth
street and demanded rental of $500.
600 annually for the subway to that
point. Later. however. after Mr.. Nit
ten had several conferences with Mr..
Weglein, president Of Council. the com
pany receded from this position.

have taken the necessary legal steps
to form corporation and purpose to
have an annual fair with at least one
other race meeting each season.

Saturday, September 30; should the
weather on that day be unfavorable II
will be postponed to Monday, October

lar old-time country sort with exhi-
bitions Of cattle, sheep and poultry

HOUSING SITUATION
VERY SERIOUS
Outlook is Changed by
Developments
Desperate and Acute Need for Homes
In SkOwhegan. More Would
Come to Town

The past five years has seen more
in the way of substantial improve
ment in Skowhegan than in twenty
years of its history preceding. II
has witnessed the establishment of
the State Reformatory, the new Post
Office building, the rebuilding of our
streets, the Central Maine Power de-
velopment, the American Woolen
Company enlargement and the new
Maine Spinning Company building
Just now approaching completion
These developments requiring capital
literally in millions of dollars have
changed the whole industrial outlook
for Somerset County's shire town. We
are as a matter of sentiment appre-
ciative of all this, but in practical
way we lack appreciation, and are
somewhat unprepared to take ad-
vantage of or meet the conditions inn
posed by our advancing prosperity.
The really acute and desperate
emergency is in the housing situa-
ton. The entire country, of course
is way behind in its home building
program. In those communities
however, when there has been a les
sening of industry the lack of homes
Is not so acutely felt In a town like
ours where Industrial activity is on
the upgrade the need for additional
housing Accommodations is sadly ap-
parent. TO meet this need we have
done and are really doing nothing
and perhaps no man will claim wis
dom to say what can be done about
it, yet the matter is deserving of very
serious thought and attention.
The subject is suggested to us a
this time in a very practical way b!
the knowledge that there are some
thing like a dozen families who would
be glad to come here to work in ont
industry, in particular, if they coulC
find homes. This industrc by hap
py combination of business ability
foresight and good fortune has forg
ed right along through good times
and bad with an almost interrupted
output. Right now they are in pos
ition to increase rather than decreas,

These are just the ones who would
