DENVER VOTES TODAY
ON SIX-CENT CAR FARE
TWO PLANS PROPOSED
People Will Decide Upon One
Desired; ELASTIC Plan"
= Seems "Hold Up"
(By United Press. }

Denver, Colo., Oct. 22.-Turmoil
over this city's street railway prob
lem was to be settled in today's spec
ial election on two plans for fixing
fares, the elastic fare plan and the
seryice-at-cost scheme. Both specify
an initial 6-cent fare with free trans
ters.4
The peoples choice is supposed to
decide the future policy Of the city
council toward the street railway
problem. A good sized vote was ex-
question in general.
/ Under the service at cost plan the
council would create a board of
tramWay control which would have
control over expenditures and serv-
Ice by the street railway company.
Returns would be limited to a fixed
per cent on the fair" valuation Of
the railway property but no guaran-
tes to stockholders Is provided for.
Under the service-at-cost plan fares
would start at six cents but might he
raised or lowered according to the
relation of, the company's revenue
and expenses. If the company low
cred fares a small additional earning
on the valuation would be allowed.
The cost scheme also authorizes the
people to buy the plant at any time
they vote to do so.
The elastic Scent fare plan pro-
vides that whenever the present
wage schedule for employees is
changed the rate Of car fare should
be changed accordingly.

the American Federation Of Labor
building today voted to reject the
compromise proposal OF Secretary OF
