WINTER CONDITIONS IDE WORST 111 D, U, R, HISTORY Not in Quarter-Century Has Company Had Such Battle With the Elements « When the backbone of winter la broken there will bo rejoicing in plenty in the operating department of the D. U. K., judging by retnarka of The ataff, from General Superintend ent Sullen down the line, and iuclm> ing the motormen and conductors. This haa been the worst winter in the memory of the oldest motormen on the lines, and that means going back nearly a quarter of a century. "I’ve been with the company some years now," said Mr. Bullen. "Hack in the horse-< ar days I was a driver, and in all this period I have never ween conditions so bad as this season. We have had six weeks without a break in the cold, with Just enough snow almost every day to hamper travel. The snow gets in the grooves of the rail, making It almost Impos sible for cars to start, and when they are started making It almost Impos sible to atop them with any degree of accuracy. t The snow, because o( the extreme cold, has not packed in the streets, with the result that heavy laden trucks have been obliged to keep right on bur tracks. Just look as these records.” And Mr. Bulten turned over several pages of the book wherein the division superintendents make dally reports on the condition of serrloe. The reports were a tale of woe with such statements as "wagon broke down, service delayed 20 min utes,” wagon stuck In the track, de ls v 10 minutes,” "struck a coal wagon,” etc, , r,, e are hardly making a trip on schedule time,” continued Mr. Bullen. "due to the occupation of Jbo tracks by vehicles which refuse to turn out until the lust moment and then only after the most vigorous use of the gongs. The result of all this Is that cart become badly bunched. We keep turning them short of the regular run In order to take care of the pas sengers at the other end of the line and get them back on schedule, only 'to have tho schedule shattered the very next trip." JUDSON BRADWAY HEADS REAL ESTATE HOARD The Detroit Real Estate board held Its annual meeting In the Hotel Cadillac, Thursday night, reviewing In the reports of the officers the pros perity nnd progress of the board for 1911. Judson Bradway wag elected president, being promoted from the vice-presidency. E. C. Van Husan avas elected vice-president, and H. O. Worner, secretary, to succeed C. F. Heyerman. George T. Bader was re-elected treasurer for a third term. A sliver tea service was presented to the retiring president, W C. Wool ley, the presentation speech being made by W. W. Smith. C. F. Heyer • man, the retiring secretary, was pre sented with a pair of gold cuff links and 3 stick pin. The reports of the officers and com mittce* showed the board in a flour ishing condition. Tho most Important work of the year was the successful effort to secure the repeal of the mortgage tax law and the passage of he present law requiring a recording fee only. The report of Treasurer Bader showed $2,265.75 on hand, the largest amount ever reported In an Hnnunl meeting. The report of the franchise committee, like the fran h!se whirh-tr wras organtyetTTo sup port, was hastily buried A committee was authorised to rep resent the board before the estima tors in the consideration of the an nual tax budget. ACCIDENT VICTIM IS AWARDED $25,000 A verdict for $25,000, the larges’ ever awarded In a personal Injury suit In the history of the. Wayne clr ult court was returned, Thursday afternoon, In favor of the plaintiff in the case of John Johnson against the Michigan Central railroad.
