are other matters 10 be considered 1t
IS pointed out that Hammond has re
ceived little consideration at the hands
OF the company in the way OF better
ment Of service and up TO the present
was powerless 10 force any change Now
the members of the council believe they
are in position 10 bring some sort Of
agreement from tho street railway COM
pany BY which they may get something
in exchnge for fare increase.
Il is said that in East Chicago and
Whiting there is also strong opposition
against permitting the company TO in
crease its fares without the increase
the OFFICIALS Of the company state that il
is likely that service will be discontinu-
ed as they will be unable TO meet the
wage increase and the men will refuse
20 work at the old rate. In case Ham
mond granted the fare raise while East
Chicago or Whiting or both turned the
company down. Hammond would simply
have service within the city limits while
the inter-city runs would be stopped.
Several city officials hold that a two-
cent increase is 100 much. With all the
wage increases the operating expenses
Of the company they say Will be increas-
ed SIS. 900 according to figures submitted
by the company. Last year the railways
carried eight million passengers. At
two cent increase this would bring n
$3.50 900 whereas an increase Of one cent
would furnish $4,000 They figure that
penny raise would be enough as the
company should be able 70 care for the
