The city will not enforce its
orders to smart the street railway
company.
The time limit expired today
but interurbans are still running
into the city, cars are going but
one way ON c street, the double
track is still on Cliff avenue and
there is nothing doing on THE
Adams street line.
The commissioner of public
works was ordered in the resolu-
items passed two weeks ago to
see that all these things were
done. This morning he asked
whether the commission really
wanted them.
And the commission was mum
as clam.
Mayor Fawcett finally broke the
silence by declaring that since the
company had given five cent fare
to the city limits he was willing to
let the case rest except he wants
that extra track taken off Cliff
avenue and the other one made
to conform to the street.
1--WE can just hold these things
over the company and can enforce
them any time if they do not treat
the people right" said Fawcett.
Woods Ready to Act.
Woods asked especially about
each order. He said the COM
pany was getting ready with
platform and other facilities to
stop the interurban cars at Bay
street and if the commission said
so he would stop them.
But no one said SO.
The mayor said since five cent
fare is now in force he did not
care to make trouble for the COM
pany as long as it is good.
But Manager Bean says five
cent fare lis not in force.
I'VE are collecting Is cents
whenever We can do it without
100 much violence" says Bean.
Patrons of the Fern Hill lime.
however, say five cent fare pnac-
tically prevails. The only people
who pay 10 cents are stran gers or
women and even many of the lat
ter refuse.
As long as the company makes
no more effort to get 10 cents
than it is now the city will proba-
bly, not make any great attempt to
make trouble for it.
The commissioner of public
works was, however, instructed to
have one track taken from Cliff
avenue and to require the COM
pany to fix the street and tracks
all over town where the track top
and street are not level.
