tickets. lie expressed himself vigorously
as follows:
Il am in favor of free transfer tickets
for the people and believe that the trans

prove unsatisfactory in It's operation. L
have seen the other plan i'm practical
operation in other cities and see nothing
I'm the circumstances of our city which
should prevent it's successful operation
here"

They want trsnsfer tickets given by the
conductors.
