Became dissatisfied With Service
of Municipal Traction Co.

Cleveland, o., Oct. 23.-Tne fran
chise Under which the Municipal
Traction co. is operating the local
street railway lines upon a Scent ARE
basis was defeated by a majority OF
951 in he referendum yote here. The
total vote cast was upward OF $4,000.
The returns from one precinct are
still missin Early in Intervening the
unofficial returns indicated a major
ity in favor OF the franchise and a
celebration was begun by the sup
porters of the I. anchise. Near mid
night an errcr was found which
changed the 'esult.
The defeat of the franchise may
mean that the railroad property will
revert to It's original owners, and
that the old rate OF Fare strife, which
lasted seven years, will be renewed.
The only alternative will be for the
city council to at once grant a new
franchise, which win save the prop

Service Was Complained OF.
1t is said by unprejudiced observers
that the franchise was defeated, not
SO much upon the issue involved as
the dissatisfaction OF the public with
the service given by the operating
company.
The vote came as the climax to
the general street railway contest
which has been wageI here for years,
with 3cent fare and ultimate munt-
cipal ownership as the goal Of the
city administration. This was con-
stantly opposed by TIE old Cleveland
Electric Railway Co.. which had been
charging a scent fare. During the
progress of the strife a new company,
the Forest City Railway Co., @stered
by the city, began the operation OF
cars over a few competing lines on a
Scent, fare oasis.
The settlement finally came under
an agreement 10 consolidate the two
companies and lease the property to
an operating company, which agrees
to make general fare within the city
of Cleveland 8 cents. Accordingly
a new company, the Cleveland Rail
way Co., was organized to take over
the consolidated properties.
Hard to Make Both Ends Meet.
Under the arrangement a ~five-year
franchis e was granted to the Cleve-
land Railway Co. Then the property
AMI franchise was leased to the Mu-
nicipal Traction Co. for 80 years,
upon the condition that the operating
company protect the property and
pay a rental equal to 6 per cent. div
idend upon the stock OF the Cleveland
Railway Co, a $4,000 900 corporation
It has been during only the past three
months that the operating company
has had a surplus.
To place the property upon a pay
inc basis at the lower rate OF fare,
the service was greatly curtailed, and
this caused great ~antagonism.
