possible. Time and again he cursed

excited athlete. Come on, let's all

The entire party, with the exception
of Mrs. Keap, trooped down from the
porch and followed the foreman out
toward the sheds, where, in the midst

one street after another, new lines
were gradually placed on a three-cent
fare basis. On March /, 1910. the
street railroad settlement, known as
the Tayler grant, went into effect,
and an initial fare OF three cents, with
a penny charge TO ra transfer. was
installed on all city lines. Fifteen
months later. on June l., 1911, this
rate of fare had prove SO. profitable
that the rate was reduced TO fiat three.

Even this rate Of fare has been
found TO be In excess OF the actual
needs for operating expenses and fix
