TO DISPOSE
OF STREET CAR PETITION

Determined to dispose of the CUES
ton OF financial relief as asked by the
Virginia Railway and Power com
pany, the street committee of city
council will at special meeting this
afternoon at o'clock take up Pc
tition from that company asking for a
straight six-cent fare, and settle upon
a recommendation to council.
The committee has heard various
delegations of citizens and represen-
tatives OF the company upon many
occasions within the past two years.
Members OF the committee have ex-
pressed themselves as being tired.
OF the, whole matter. and in Justice
to all concerned. including the people
OF the city and the company itself,
they have decided to send their rec
ommendation on to council for final
action.
1t is generally believed that under
the exigencies Of the situation, the
abnormal condition Of the times. the
high cost Of everything, and the fact
that the company shows by its figures
that 1t is losing money, the commit :
tee will recommend straight five
cent fare.
