DOESN'T WRY COUNCIL WHICH ORDERS MOTORS

Mother Itubbard went to the cupoard to get her poor child a bone ut there was nothing doing. Council wants to present the police epartment with a combination motor atrol and ambulance, and the fire deartment with four motor chemical agon s to replace four horse-drawn hemlcal wagons, thereby completing he motorization of the department, ut it has found the municipal treary as bare as old Mrs. Hubbard's upbcard. Council Ignores Shortage. Council is not effected by this fiancial embarrassment, however. It ias instructed the mayor, the conrcller and the board of public works o devise ways and means of financing hese two projects. The motor am-ulance-patrol is to cost not less than ;2,000. Council estimates the comilote motorization of. the fire departnent will coat approximately $8,000. The ordinance committee at council neotlng last night submitted a report avorlng the motorization of, the fire lepartnient. The bodies of the four 'orse-drawn wagons now used would c placed on motor chasis, under the t wmUleo's plan. The motorization f each wagon would Cost about $2,:A. Ry the elimination of horses the t caving prr year on the maintennce of the tire department would be pnroximately $400. The committee concluded Its report lth the statement that it had "not ter mined the best method of raising :,!s money," leaving this up to the ::oci;tfvp department. Handlcy Advises Saving. Oiinc'lmfin Ilandley questioned the i-hi-alllSty of retracing four horseIrawn wagons with the same number f motor wagons. He thought three motor wagons sufficient and that they vnulfl maintain the department at its iiroFont Etate of efficiency". He did not advocate the abandonment of any DOHf noupe out suggesiea mai me mo tor chemical wagon now stationed at tlio cltv building bp transferred to an--thrr house, placing the police amMilanco patrol in the city hall station. ;io said under hl3 plan the city would ive $2,000. Thorn was not a councilman who questioned whether the city could afford to finance theFe two projects this year. Tho Handley plan did not make a hit. Walterman said Chief Miller naa Informed the committee that any re duction in the size of the department would reduce its efficiency, and Waltermnn also stated that there was a demand In every section of the city for tho maintenance of the fire department, at its present size. Chief Miller also snoko In opposition to the Handley plan. Waldele said that if th Hundley plan would only save $2,000 kt us keep the department as it la now." Raise'Fund to $2,000.

RAILROAD LIEN ASK PUBLICITY

ON 8 HOUR DAY To put before the public facts regarding the eight hour day request of the Brotherhood of .Railroad Trainmen from the railroad companies, the local brotherhood, co-operating with the press bureau of the national order at Cleveland, Ohio, will submit articles dealing with the problem, which wIlLbe printed In The Palladium. At a meeting held Sunday, the local brotherhood decided that, the problem was of such vital importance that it deserved to . be brought before the public at once and that the news mat ter, sent out by the Cleveland office, should be submitted for publication, in order that the public might learn what the demands of the railroad men really are and to counteract the literature sent out by the railroad companies. John Falck has the matter in hand here. Through a misunderstanding, not due to Mr. Falck, the impression was abroad, that the matter would not be printed. Mr. Falck said the brotherhood asks for nothing more than eight hours work a day for each man.

See at our Salesroom the Gar that MTO.OIT Likes Better than any other In the World In Detroit, where people KNOW cars, more Studebakers are in use than any other cars listing at more than $500. This is significant For the simple reason that Detroit is the Home of Auto- ' mobiles. More than three-fourths of the cars manu factured in the United States are made in Detroit In Detroit a BIO percentage of the residents are either directly engaged in the motor industry or come into DAILY contact with people who are. They talk cars. They study cars. They hear gossip from afl the great factories established in the city. They know the plant and the efficiency of the manufacturing organizations. They know the men back of the cars.

And as a whole, knowledge of automobiles la far more general end EXACT in Detroit than in any other city on the earth. So when you knovr that for the entire year of 1915, registrations in Detroit showed MORE Studebakers in use than any other cars selling at more than $500, it can mean but one thing : that to the people of Detroit, people wAo KNOW cars and who KNOW VALUE IN CARS, Studebaker offers the top value of tho market t And this fact is all the more significant when vom know thot Studebaker has only been selling cars in Detroit for about half as long as its nearest competitors have. . In half the time, Studebaker has outstripped them aS. and today you go to Detroit, and you find more Studebakers on the streets than any other make of cars costing over $500.
