cash fare to five cents, that, Mr. Peet
said, the road could not afford to do,
especially as the fare on that line alone
was only three and one-half cents be-

But even this concession did NOT
satisfy Assemblyman Thompson. while
Messrs Craig and Krafmer were ike
wise disposed to insist upon an unre-

Thereupon Mr. Peet said that the
road could not afford to accept such
a proposition, and that It would con-

elsewhere If necessary.
