CITY COUNCIL EXPECTED TO AP- ! Chicago, Dec. 17.—The traction committee of the city council and rep- : resentatives of the Chicago Unlon Traction company and of the Chicago ; i City Railway company have reached an agreement regarding the price to be paid for the properties of the two | companies, if the city shall ultimately decide to purchase them. It was agreed that the city shall pay $29,000,000 for the properties of the Union Traction company, which operates all the street car systems on the. North and West Sides of ithe eity, and $21,000,000 for the propetty of the Chicago City Railway company, which controls = the transportation jon. the South Side of the city. 1t was decided by the committee that it will'as soon as possible recommend to'the city council the passage of an ordinance allowing the purchase of the proper- ties at the price named. Mayor Dunne, when the action of the committee was reported to him, declared that, in his opinion, the coun- cil would adopt the recommendation: of the committee and the city would then proceed to own and operate: the street railways. Despite the fact that the committee: will recommend the purchase of:the lines for $50,000,000 it is still possible that an agreement may yet be reached | for the granting of a franchise on the; basis of a division of profits. The companies offered the city ‘an- even division of the net profits of'the' com- panies, but the city demanded 56 per cent. This phase of the question is still under diseussion and ‘an-agree- ment may be reached later. GRUISER MONTANA LAUNCHED. Miss Minnie Conrad. Christens Ncw . Addition ‘to Navy. Newport News; Va.'
