pdny 10 i've up 10 the lTdhcnlSe unueT
which it operates in this city. Three
points are involved: The refusal Of
the company to sell "three-for-a-quar
ter" tickets on the cars good between
DePere and Green Bay; the recent in
crease in the charge of carrying pack
ages between the two cities, and the
neglect of the company to put down
crossings of plank or other suitable
material. Regarding the matter of
selling tickets on the cars, City Attor-
ney Smith gives it as his opinion that
this is required by the terms of the
franchise, which says that the fare
between DePere and Green Bay shall
not exceed 10 cents, or, at the option
of the passenger, three fares for 25
cents" The city authorities are great
ly dissatisfied with the attitude of the
company and are determined to put
them up to the state railroad commits
sion. Having given the company a
franchise for fifty years, they believe
that the citys rights should be re-
spected.
