COSTS FIVE CENTS TO RIDE.
Reesta blished-MayOr May
bury Indignant.

Detroit, July 22.-Straight five-cent
fares were inaugurated on the old
street railway lines, excepting during
which "workingmen's" tickets are sold
at eight for a quarter. The univers;s
transfer privilege between all lines of
all companies, which was begun during
the three-cent regime, still continues.
An effect of the raise Friday was to di-
vert travel TO the newer lines, operated
under an eight-for-a-quarter franchise.
Mayor Maybury, who is highly indig-
nant at the raising of fares, called a spe-
cial meeting of the city council TO re-
taliate by prohibiting carriage of
freight over the lines; by pushing a
test of the legality of combinations of
the companies when prohibited by their
ordinances, and in other ways to re-
strict the companies privileges. 1t is
predicted that war will now open be-
tween the people and the street-car
company. The Tribune advises people
TO keep off the lines, and says: Take
from the company all privileges not es-
Mayor Maybury favors the course, and
has issued "A proclamation to that effect.
Gov. Pingree announced Friday that
he is going TO make another effort for
three-cent fares in Detroit. He prac-
tically acknowledges that he has Sc
cured an option lasting until Novem-
Der from Mr.. Wilson to secure the pas
sage by the common council of the Sc
curity and working ordinances for the
municipal railway.
Detroit, Mich, July 24.-The city
council in special session adopted "a
resolution declaring that the increasing
of street railway fares TO five cents
straight was an unwarranted act of bad
faith and violation of law and direct
ing the city's legal department to be-
gin legal proceedings against the com
panies 10 test the legality of the in
crease. Proceedings were also author
lied TO enjoin carrying of freight over
the street car tracks and to determine
the legality of the present working
combination of the companies. The
companies older franchises permit
fares of mot exceeding five cents" and
it is claimed among the aldermen that
special privileges were allowed the
roads in view of their granting six for a
quarter fares and transfers.
