LONG STREET CAR
Fight is CLOSED
CLEVELAND CITY AUTHORITIES
REACH AN AGREEMENT
WITH LOCAL TRAc-
TIoR COMPANY.

Cleveland, Oct. 6.--A conference was
held today to arrange final details for
an absolute settlement of the local
street railway situation, which has
been bitterly agitated for eight years.
The basis OF the strife has been
Mayor Tom L. Johnson's contention
for a 3-cent fare. The proposed set
Element win be upon this rate of fare,
and win eliminate the street car ques-
ton from the fall campaign. All the
points have been settled. 1t is agreed
that the city shall give the Cleveland
Railway CO. the owners Of the local
lines. twenty FIVE year franchise, re-
volIable whenever any of the pro-
visions OF the contract with the city
are violated. The city reserves the
right to purchase the lines at any time
municipal ownership is made lawful.
The city also reserves the right to
name a purchaser of the lines after
eight years.
The initial rate of fare is to be 8
cents on all lines, with a / cent extra
charge for a transfer Both the city
and the railway company have agreed
to let Judge Robert w. Taylor of the
United States court, determine the
value Of the railway property and the
maximum rate Of fare. 1t is agreed
that at no time shall the rate of fare
be greater than will allow the COM
pany an earning Of more than per
cent.
Judge Taylor has indicated that he
will make the maximum rate of fare 4
cents for a cash fare and the regular
ticket rate seven tickets for 26 cas,ta
and cent extra for transfers. This
proposition has been accepted both by
the city and the railway company
