As McKinnon has never hoped for much more than to get the individual counciimen on ree ord on this Dill, he regards hia vie tory a8 something substantial Yesterday the committee, hark ening to the voice of the automobile “interests,” decided to Inter the bill In the graveyard of vanished counciimanic hopes.

MoKinnon fought hard for a vote; on the bill, even though he knew, it would not pass, But the commit- tee could not seo things that way Last night the big Dearborn st regrade bill was up. This ts what is known as a 50-per-cent bill, which requires a unanimous yote to pass The estimated cost ix $450,000, and it Is located in the cilman Conway, who is also chair man of the committee which a fow hours before put the automobile bill to death Someone whispered It about last night that “Mac” was not going to ote for the regrade, which would moan that it could not pass, And McKinnon never hesitated about as suring Conway and the others that they had been correctly Informed, It took Conway just abqut ten minutes to reach the conclusion that the automobile bill might be a good thing after all, He also con cluded, in view of conditions, that the only thing would be to revive it tmmediately, With this assur ance McKinnon changed his ideas about the Dearborn st, regrade, and the bill went through.
