waited and perhaps street car fares
are also likely TO be increased as a
war time measure Britton l. Budd
president of the Chicago elevated

waited News that in all probability an

planned, have been abnormally heavy
the last two years, due principally TO
the increased cost Of raw material,
which has been boosted all the way
from 200 10 400 per cent. Labor has
also risen. And fares during this
time have been reduced by reason OF
transfers between the different lines.
In order 10 operate at all II will
be necessary for the T. lines TO take
some measure for insuring a greater
income.
1.-THE Increase In the nickel fare
will not be an immediate one. We
