MAYOR C0111ENS PLAN DOES NOT PROMISE

To Better Street Railway Conditions for the Majority of the Car Riders, Even if it is Practical,
,.
Which it is Not
THE MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE Will Still Have to Ride on D. U. R. Lines, Which the
Couzens Plan Promises to Make Less Useful for Service.
THE RUIN OF THE D. U. R. SYSTEM is held Up as the Principal Good Reason for Adopting
the Mayor's Plan.
WILL THE RUIN OF THE D. U. R. SYSTEM Produce Better Service Conditions in Detroit,
or Worse Ones?
ISN'T THE BETTERMENT OF SERVICE on the Existing Lines What the Public Wants, and
Wherein is the Public to be Benefited by the Ruin of Any Existing Facilities, No Matter Who
Owns Them?
THE EXISTING STREET RAILWAY SYSTEM Is Carrying Eight Hundred Thousand Passen-
gers a Day in Some Fashion or Other. The Mayor's Plan Is to Provide for Less Than One Hun-
dred Thousand Passengers. Are Seven Hundred Thousand Passengers to Be. Given Worse
Conditions That a Few May Possibly Be Given Better Ones?

DETROIT DEMAND IS FOR SERVICE

, ,i . ,

for Everybody, Not Ruin for Anybody—Service Can Only Be Gained by Bettering the Present
System, Not by Ruining It.
When the Water System Falls Short, We Do Not Ruin It. We Improve It, Because We Want
Service.
When the School System Falls Short, We Do Not Ruin It. • We Expand It.
When the Police Department Becomes Inefficient, We Do Not Abolish It: We Enlarge It.
When the Fire Department Fails to Suit, We Do Not Put It Out of Business. We Increase Its
Numbers and Build New Firehouses.
WHY DESTROY PRESENT RAILWAY FACILITIES TO GET OTHERS THAT ARE OF
DOUBTFUL VALUE?
