SEES SEES IO-CEENIITI FARE FARE
ON TROLLEYS SOON
Roger w. Babsol Tells
Federal Commission Scent
Charge is Doomed
SAYS SOME FARES
WILL CO TO IS CTS.

WASHINGTON, Aug. i3.-The time
is coming when scent fares for street
railway rides will be a thing OF the
past except for short hauls in cities.
and when iO-cent fares will be gcner-
ally charged. Roger W. Babson, sta
tistician, OF Boston yesterday told The
Federal ElectriG< Railways Commission.
At The sand time Mayor James II,
Couzcns. Of Detroit. told the commits
sion that the street railway problem
in this country was a social condition
which must be solved as such by the
people OF the communities served.
Mayor Couzens declared that unless
the problem Of Transporting workers TO
and from their homes and work Is
properly solved ID will become incum-
bent upon the employer 20 ind some
certain way of carrying them himself.
"The iO-ccnt fare will become uni
versal." Mr.. BabsOn testified. THE
fares upon some subways and elevated
lines now charging . cents viii become
25 cents. The 5-oent fare. except for
very short hauls in cities, is doomed.
During the next few years Commis-
sioners will devote their time 10 get
tins the companies 10 give better SER
vice and Will not bother about fares.
"One-half Of the interurban street car
mileage and one-quarter Of the city
street car mileage will be abandoned.
The tracks will he removed and motor
bus service will be installed instead.
4 great proportion Of the street rail
ways should never have been built. and
the quicker we realize 70 the better on
both the public and the investors will
be.
Municipal ownership may come hut
let us first give the street railways a
chance 10 save themselves by quitting
our persecution ~ them and by giving
them the same chauce that we give any
other business corporation. Municipal
ownership is desirable only when the
same results cannot be obtained under
private ownership.
Were ! MAYOR Of a city. 7 should in
sist that my city have the finest, swift
est and cleanest street car service. in the
world. but whether the fare was or
30 cents would not matter"
