Fares were advanced from cents 10 3

the overburdened patience Of the COM
munity broke and general boycott OF
the street car lines began. Instead Of

about COO. 900 persons rode and paid the
1o-cent rate, with the result that tho
first few days OF increased fares have
shown a positive loss 10 the street car
companies.
The street car companies have had TO
meet very heavy increased charges. Sup
plies arc costing now probably twice as
much as they did five years ago. and
wages have advanced from IS 10 so per
