Pigs a Menace

Even in that day troubles
mixed with blessings. Farmers
livestock strayed out on the
right of way and lawsuits were
numerous and costly. Pigs
were the worst menace. They
got caught under the wheels
and inevitably derailed the cars.
A dispatcher's life was a night
mare, for many lines were
operated on single tracks and
head-on collisions were COM
monplace.
It was still a good business
when Mayor James A. Couzens
launched municipal ownership
of the Detroit city system IN
1922. with the city paying
S19.S50.000 for that part Of the
property acquired from the
DUR.
After that there were a sue
cession of receiverships In the
DUR as private automobiles
and motor buses cut sharper
and sharper into the dwindling
interurban business.
