Wins Good Fight.

The long fought street railway bat
tie in Cleveland, Ohio, has been ter
minated. For eight years this battle
has ragged an To IN l.. johnson has
finally won in his great fight for the
people. An Associated Press dis
patch from Cleveland says: Dur
ing the life OF the controversy il
has been political issue at all
times. Partial settlements have
been made and many proposed. but
all failed OF their object. Now peace
is assured. The basis OF the strife
has been Mayor Tom l.. Johnson :
contention for n three cent fare. The
proposed settlement will be on this
rate OF fare and will eliminate the
street car question from the fall cam
paign. 1t is agreed that the city
shall give the Cleveland Railway
company, the owner OF the local
revocablea at any time if the details
OF the contract with the city are vio-
lated. The city reserves the CHIT TO
purchase the lines at any time mu-
nicipal ownership is made lawful.
The city also reserves the right TO
name a purchaser for the lines after
eight years. The initial rate Of fare
is TO be three cents on all lines,
with a one cent extra charge for "A
transfer. Both the city and the rail-
way company have agreed 10 lie,
Judge Robert w. Taylor, of the
United States court, determine the
value of the railway property and
the maximum rate of fare. Ii is
agreed that at no time shall the rate
OF fare be greater than will allow
the company an ca ming of more
than six per cent on the value OF the
property, consistent with good ser
vice. Judge Taylor has indicated
that he will make the maximum
rate four cents for a cash fare and
the regular ticket rate of seven tick
cts for p cents and cent extra for
transfers. This proposition has been
accepted both by the city and the
railroad company"
