This obligation is recognized by the steam raliroads everywhere.” In conclusion the Mayor says: “If we try, and succeed, we will have ren- dered a great service to the public. If we try, and fail, we will at least have learned that we must look elsewhere for a remedy, so, in addjtion to the bill requiring the trolley cofipany to run a sufficient number of cars, I transmit to you the draft of a bill to enable us to construct and owm a municipal trol- ley line. TELLS OF REFORM PLAN “This would not be costly, and many of the usual objections to municipal ownership would be avoided if the city leased the right to run cars for a term of years on the basis of a 3-cent fare.
