A Greater Banking Service
Griswold

STATE BANK
The consolidation of the Griswold National
Bank of Detroit and the First State Bank of
Detroit went into effect March 21, 1927.
The First State Bank grew with Detroit for
almost three quarters of a century. The
Griswold National Bank, less than two years
old. proved by its sensational success, that
there was a definite need for such a banking
force in the city.
In soilciting your patronage, we promise that
whatever transaction Griswold-First State
Bank undertakes, whether for a corporation
or the smallest individual depositor, the com-
bined efforts of the consolidated organiza-
tion will be put forth to make it mutually
pleasant and profitable.

Y. W. H. A. NOTES
TIMES HAVE CHANGED
Above we have the pictures which tell the "why" of
the paving proposition on the Monday, April d, ballot.
We see the olden-type horse car, drawn by the sturdy
steed which has placed much of its burden upon electric
car and the more modern gas-power automobile. The
two cuts portray the advance of railway life.
The first picture shows the initiatory step in transport-
ing mass population, for, when people began congregat-
ing in settlements, means had to be provided for the more
rapid coming and going of the thickly inhabited commu-
nity. The horse car on steel rails was the solution. But
these equines, plodding back and forth upon the right-of-
way, soon caused deep depressions in the space between
the tracks, as we see above. These constantly deepening
ruts caused the builders of horse car lines to place one
sort or another of pavements between the rails, so that
the animal could more readily gain purchase and drawing
power, and also do away with the beasts burrowing in
the sand. Finally, of necessity, all horse car lines paved
between the tracks whether with timbers, cedar block,
brick asphalt, or with any substantial material able to
withstand the iron-clad hoofs of the propelling power.
Paving then was essential to the successful operation of
the home car system.
In the right hand corner we see the modern type Peter
Witt car, built and equipped with every known safety de-
vice. This car, with its motive power electricity, speeds
along and has no horses to mar, dent or make furrows in
the pavement. It has no need for cedar blocks, brick, as-
phalt, et cetera, between the tracks.
Without a pavement, the operators are sure that noth-
ing will impede the schedules. Having no need for pav-
ing, what logical reason is there to shoulder the expense
upon our municipally-owned street car system? The de-
partment is endeavoring, in every way. to give ample ser•-
ice to its patrons in Detroit, but is hindered from purchas-
ing or building more equipment by the huge amount it
must ou tlay s. each year in paving between the tracks.

PRIVATE COMPANIES NOT TAXED
One city after another in the United States has relieved its pri-
vate companies of paying for this paving. We have San Francisco;
San Diego; Chicago, relieving the Aurora and Elgin R. R.; Jackson
and Saginaw, Mich.; Newark, N. J., and Cleveland, Ohio, where the
cities in question pay for the paving. Here the cities aid the private
companies in making street car transportation a success. Is it not
fitting that the people of the City of Detroit du as much for their
own street car system?
Other cities are justly paying for paving between the street car
tracks and we would he remiss in our loyalt to our first vote if a

a frank and convincing manner, and
is a vivid picture of the conflict be-
