COMPANY IS FAIR North End Association Thinks City Will Demand a New Franchise. ^__________ According to Mr. John W. Thomas. who has been actively engaged to car- log for the petitions that the North End improvement association are cir- culating, the movement for the adop- tion of the provisions of the Mueller Uw Is meeting with enthusiasm in all parts of Bvanston. The committee Jiom the North Bnd will consist of Chairman W. M. Green, R. Clarence Brown, A. M. Nelson, Hiram McCul- lough. Sherman C. Klngsley, W. D. Xbapman, R. B. Belknap, D. T. Lay- man and Prank H. McCulloch, who have the distribution of the petitions In charge, have circulated them over the entire city and are preparing them for submission to the council at their meeting on next Tuesday. Sherman Avenue Alone Opposed Mr. Thomas stated that in bis work with the committee in getting the telr eolations signed, he had met with practically no opposition, and that he believed the forces against the street cars were confined to Sherman ave- nue. Among those that have been in- terviewed have been James B. Smart, who has stated that he is ardently In favor of the retention of the oar lines, as he believes their discontinuance would result In a serious loss to Bv- anston business and would occasion a fall in the value of realty all over the city. Mayor Paden Noncommittal. Mayor Paden has been Interviewed, but is rather reticent about stating his position, as he wlU be through with the city administration in a short time and does not wish to mix up in the controversy. The North Bnd associa- tion, according to Mr. Thomas, Is very critical of the Inaction of Alder- man Charles S. Wallace, who is chair- man of the city council committee on railroads and should have taken an active part in the fight for a continu- ance of the franchise, according to the opinion of his neighbors. To Delay Election Until April. The petition to the council will re- quest that the council permit the caTs to run until some definite action can be taken In the matter. The petition asks for the submission of the Muel- ler proposition to the %pte of the peo- ple at an immediate election to be c died. Some of the sponsors for the petition, howover, do not believe an immediate election would be neces- ary, as the matter ought to be capa- ble of being held In suspense until the April elections, and thus save the city the expense of a special city election. They favor holding the submission of the question to the voters that long only on the condition that the car service be continued In the Interval. Street Car Company Fair. According to the North Bnd author- ities tl e railroad Is willing to make large concessions to the city. In ad- dition to paving the streets one foot on either aide of the tracks, laying new tracks, and paying the city a portion of the profits, they now offer to give the city a part in the man- agement of the road in order that the council may have a definite means of enforcing the ordinances. Mr. Thomas believes that the car com- pany is acting In a very fait manner In the matter, and feels that the peo- ple of Bvanston will give them a con- tinuance of their franchise.
