LIKE OTHER CITIES

In 273 cities in the United States
having population of 25,000 or
more, 1856 are paying more street car
fare than before the war. Several
of them are paying Ten cents fares.
Applications for increases in many
other cities are still pending.
The causes for these increases are
the same everywhere universal
increase in the cost of supplying SER
vice. Higher wages is one of the
chief factors.
The same causes exist here for an
increase in street car fares. We have
tried to hold out for a low fare. We
thought Seven cents fare might do.
But our revenues and operating costs
for the first three months of this year
convince us that Ten cents fare is
necessary if the service is to be con-
tinued unimpaired.
