You Paw Before You Ride.

The Street Railway Company has adopted
the advance system of collecting fares on
the dummy branch. Station gates have been
erected at East street, and passengers going
to the Lake must place their tickets in the
box before the car proceeds on its journey.
By this arrangement no conductors are
needed
