The street car system here is oper-
ated under the so-called Taylor ordi-

the late Mayor Tom l.. Johnson made
his successful fight for three cent
fares Under this ordinance the city
has entire control Of car schedules

pay from 80 to 80 to 40 cents an hour,
minimum day of eight hours for 80
per cent of the employees and seats
