INU. R. MILL TAX UMPROMISE PLAN Proposals Both for City and Company to Make Bores Ke- ported Under Consideration.

understood in St. Louis finan- that the United Railways is preparing to submit to the city It is cial circles Co. a second proposition to compromise the with an additional plan to build and operate a subway, but is not yet ready for the plan to become public. Two mill tax cases, are said to be under consideration. One is for the city to build the subway and lease it to the United Railways Co., which will bind itself to operate a subway system and pay to the city a net rev- enue of 6 per cent on its investment. The other is for the company to build the subway under a franchise to be obtained from the city, and operate it. The compromise also contemplates certain extensions of the present fran- chises of the United Railways lines, according to financters: Festus J. Wade, who advocated the first compromise proposed by ‘United Iiailways, and who is reputed by financiers to be sponser for: the ‘second preposed compromise, told a Post-Dis- patch reporter Wednesday that he knew rothing of any ‘mill tax compromise preposition. | “There has been no discussion of a compromise with the city by the di- rectors of the United Railways Co.,” Wade said. ‘There is nothing, so far as I know, in this talk of the United Railways Co. building or operating a subway in connection with any com- promise, | Expects ‘The company subway plans to Win Suit. vould be foolish, in my judgment, to propose any mill tax compromise now, with the cases pend- ing in the Supreme Court. I believe we are going to win the suit, and: we have ithe opinions of several legal experts which confirm my view.”’ Wade is a director of United Ratll- ~ays, and also of the North American Co., Which is the principal holder of United Railways stock. James Camp- beii, president of the North American Co., and regarded as the financial head of the railways system, fs absent from the city. Record Warship Launched for Bresil.
