THEY WANT A FIvE-CENT FARE
Council Bluffs Retailers Voice Their
Idcns ON the Drilge Qmestinn.

| Council Bluffs Retailers Voice Their
Ideas on the Bridge Question.
The joint meeting of the friends and op-
! ponents of the motor company arranged to
| take place before the council last evening,
was largely attended. With one exception
none of the speakers opposed the granting
of the ifty-year extension. but all united in
demand for a material reduction or a
straight scent fare between the two cities
This demand was backed up by a most
formidable petition, containing the names
of 1875 retail dealers OF Council Bluffs The
presentation of the petition and the earnest
arguments in support of it created almost
q sensation
w, II. NJ. Pusey was the first speaker, and
went over substantially the same grounds
covered by him in previous Grafton to
the council.
Mr.. Sims was the first to advocate the
5-cent fare over the entire line and made a
strong argument in support of what he de-
clared was the popular demand In this re-
spect If he could not get fiat rate of s
cents he wanted the company to be obligated
to Issue communication ticket for 81, good
for twenty rides and good for a year.
Leonard Everett followed with an earnest
appeal in support of the reduced fare and
presented the big petition from the retail
merchants, which he said was the most
enectual answer to the protest that scent
fare would kill the retail merchants and
rum the town by sending all of the retail
business across the river
T. j. Evans said he had circulated the
petition for one day among the retail mer-
chants and found only thee who refused
to sign IT,
Spencer Smith made the strongest argu-
ment OF the evening in support of the scent
fare, He was armed with the statistics
showing the cost Of the road and its equip
ment and its earnings for the first fourte en-
months. The net earnings for this period
we're $50 75O The original sale of bonds and
the $4,000 given the company by the cit
izens of this city approximated $735 900,
and the cost OF building was a sum that
left only a balance TO be put up by the
stockholders of $4,000. which represented
their entire interest. he declared, In the
