Mr. Weglcin declared yesterday thnt he has great faith that the conferences will heal the differences between the city and the company se that the latter will agree te operate the elevuted. CotnpreinI.se Expected I The Ceuncllmcn, however, feel that i concessions will have te be made by I both sides. The trend of opinion, in certain i councilman!.- circles is thnt the city will for the time being have te renounce i Its claim te a straight 5' per cent re turn en the money invested by the I municipality in the construction of the read, while the company will nlse have te refrnin from secutng the clty'B con- ' sent te nn increase In fares. A live-cent trolley tare in tnis city is backed by the authority of the United States Supreme Court, even though the Public Service Commission has estab lished a seven-cent fare here, counsel for the United Uuslncbs Men's Associa tion stated today. A five-cent fare was fixed in the lfiOi agreement between the city and the ' P. It. T.. the association asserts. The , tti? X X enXuld be tested in the courts follews: "By decision of Supreme Court banded down April 11 in the ense of Citv of Sun Antonie, Tex., vs. the San Antonie Street Kailvvay Cempnny. it is held that where under n State Con stitution a municipality bus the right te enter into a contract llxing fares for a limited period and such contract is entered into between a street ralhva.v and a municipality, such contract-fixing fares is binding nnd cannot be changed by action of any public service com cem com mihsien. I-ater Than Pennsylvania Decision "This decision was made since the dis'islen of tlie Appellate Ceuit of Penn sylvania 111 the ilkenshurg cute, where a municipal ordinance fixing fares was declared inoperative. At the present time a strong attempt is beins made te have the fare for the City of Philadelphia fixed by valuation et the property of the operating company in stead of by its contract with the City of Philadelphia. Council should im mediately pass a resolution directing the City Solicitor te take proper legnl pro ceedings te have the courts pabs en the city's rights under the 1(107 con' tract before tlie present valuation pro ceedings nre, finished. "The SMpreine Court of Pennsyl vania has twice decided that the con tract of 1007 is u legal and valid 0111 nnd the Supreme Court of the Unite.' States has said a valid contract fixing fares is binding. It will net be difficult if prompt measures are taken by Coun cil und the Mayer and the City Solicitor te get a decision from the courts in the nbeve matter before the valuation pro ceedings urc concluded. "If this contract gives the people of Philadelphia the right te a five-cent fare thnt right should net be taken away from them by rushing valuation pro ceedings. It is vital te Ihe interest of the people of Philadelphia that their right te 1 live-cent flire under tlie 1007 agreement should te determined and net abandoned. "Ne permanent lease of the Prnnk Prnnk eord 'L' should be made under an.v cir sumstnines at present because such ac tion might entangle the entire citj's s.v.slem in the future."

In the prairie towns, cities, villages, towns and farms of our inland Stntes the future of America en the ecas will be decided, Albert D.
