Show TOLEDO SEEKS City Officials and Street Traffic Head Still Deadlocked. TOLEDO, 0.r Nov. 13. The conference held today in an attempt to devise a way of getting Henry L. Doherty's street cars back into service failed to bring out anything any-thing definite to show whether Toledo is to have car service or whether the people will have to go on indefinitely with an unsatisfactory omnibus system. The conference which was held in "the-city "the-city hall developed into a verbal combat between Mr. Doherty and Mavor Cornell Schriber. the official who introduced the ouster ordinance which was approved by the people and which resulted in the cars being taken into Michigan last Saturday night. The mayor intimated he knew of a legal way to put the cars back on the streets within a few hours with Mr. Doherty's consent. The New York magnate, replying reply-ing to a direct question from the mayor, said : "Yes, if that way carries with it a permanent per-manent settlement of the problem or any assurance of a settlement." He declared that such assurance must come through a vote of the people the same who had voted to drive the cars from the streets. The city received another setback today to-day in its negotiations with outside concerns con-cerns for the furnishing of power to operate oper-ate cars, when the Auglaize Power company, com-pany, of Defiance, announced through W. P. Wallace, Its general manager, that the company "does not care to mix up in the Toledo fight." "The people of Toledo ousted the Rail-Light Rail-Light by a vote at the last election, and the Rail-Light complied with the law and got out," Mr. Wallace's communication read. |
