c Ar TICKETS
PUT IN HANDS
OF CONDUCTORS
Pasteboards Will Be USec
Until New Metal Discs
Arrive Fare Boxes
Changed.

= Large quantities of street car
tickets will be placed in the hands
OF conductors on Omaha street cars
today to meet the demand ex-
pected with inception of the 7-cent
fare.
1--WE will sell the present card
board tickets until we are able to
get a supply of metal disc tickets,
which will be the permanent style"
said Assistant General Manager
Leussler.
Conductors will sell four of these
tickets for Is cents, or whole book
of 20 tickets for SIPS.
Discs Due Soon.
within few weeks we expect
to have the discs. These will be of
white metal, slightly smaller than
! Scent piece. stamped with the COM
pany's name and otherwise stamped
so they cannot be counterfeited
These will 60 through the fare box
and register just as other coins do
They also have all advantage over
paper tickets because they can be
resold.
The fare boxes now are fixed so
they will register nickels and pen
MES.
Passengers who pay 7 cents will
drop nickel and Z cents into the
fare box today instead Of
nickel, as heretofore. Those who
want tickets can buy four or eight,
y, 10 or 20.
Save BY Old Tickets.
People who had the foresight to
buy large quantities of the tickets
! will benefit thereby. Mr.. Leussler
says these tickets will be honored
for fare, although, according to
the order of the state railway com
mission, the company could demand
2 cents additional with each ticket
we anticipate no confusion at all
i'll putting the new rate of far, into
effect tomorrow" said Mr.. Leussler.
The method of paying fares has not
been changed. Passengers will
merely drop 7 cents into the fare
box. Or they will buy tickets, as
many persons have heretofore"
Bluffs Fare Unchanged.
The 7-cent street car fare will not
apply to the lines in Council Bluffs
nor affect the present 10-cent fare to
Omaha. The increase that becomes
effective today will apply only to
the Omaha lines, That the higher
rates will eventually prevail in Coun-
Gil Bluffs is assured, but certain pro-
cedure involving the federal court
and the Bluffs city council must pre-
cede the increase to make it legal.
Although officials of the company
were authorized to make the new
fare effective at o'clock this morn
ing they delayed this action until the
first cars left the power houses at
5 o'clock.
After quiet session at the Labor
temple the organized employees Of
the company voted approval of the
action taken by their executive COM
mittee and ratified the agreement
entered into by the company and
the executive committee. By this
agreement the men are to receive an
increase in wages of 10 cents an
hour.

Alderman John A. CornelTs plea to Mayor Wilson that immediate action be talon on a resolution introduced by him at last nights meeting of the Beard of Aldermen, calling for the appointment ot members of the Mu- nicipal Ice Commission to fill the terms of members. having expired, fell upon deaf ears. His Honor, however, had previously told the al- dermen the same thing he told the Tfmes-Farmer some weeks ago---that he had the matter under considera- tion and would soon make a repoTt-- also that he would take some action. As on the occasion of his statement to the Tfmes-Farmer the mayor did not disclose what his action would be.
 Mayor Wilson's official statement that he would take some" action fol- lowed a. communication from the h. ternationaI Association of MachinistB asking that the money authorized to be. raised bv bonds for the erection of an Municipal Ice Plant, be made available for the purchase of ice this summer.
 Later in the meeting, Alderman Cornell introduced his resolution, call ing for the establishment of an fee plant ,and also for the appointment of e new committee.
 When the resolution was read, the mayor ordered r. referred to the Mis- CeTaneous committee. Alderman Cor nell immediately jumped to his feet asking for immediate action.
 The mayor said: 1T think I already have made e clear statement on the subject earlier in the meeting (refer- ring to his remarks following the reaj1tns of the communication from the International Association of Ma ciliT5stsl and the chair thinks the matter should go to the committed"
 But your honor," proteated Cor nell that was a different matter If am correctly informed the terms of several members of the Ice Plant commission have expired, some as long as two years, and I think 1t is incumbent on. you that you appoint men to take their places''
 At this point Alderman Edward J.
 McManas jumped to his feet and
 said: 'Inasmuch as the mayor has
 already assured the council that he has the matter under consideration
 I see no need of injecting the ssbject further in the present meeting" Cornell continued his attempt for immediate action until the mayor said: "We will not discuss it at the
 present time. The matter is closed and the alderman is out of order" Cornell said "AIl right" and sat down.

l street the members of the Home
 Missionary society of the Methodist church.
 The second meeting of the Stratford Civic Improvement league will be held in the town hall this evening and at this time the officers for the organization will be elected and by laws adopted. It is hopefS that there will be a large attendahce at this
 meeting and that every man or wom- an Of the town who is interested in
 the development of the town along
 the right lines will attend and learn the idea of the association and join if they will.
 Selectman James LalIy stated yes terday that all statements credited to him regarding his not being in favor of giving away any of the town prop erty were correct as he was not in favor of the town making any of its streets more narrow and he said he would object as hard as he could to that being done.
 At the special town meeting to be held on Wednesday evening at which time a street line will be establish ed on Main street from the railroad to Barnum avenue a, large number of the voters of Stratford are expected LO DG pIS5eIl dilu OH GSSlOIl5 heard about the town it would seem
 that the majority of them are not in
 favor of giving the new owners of
 the SelIeck property any of the town land.
 The appointment of another mem
 Der of the Stratford fire department which is being looked forward to is arousing a little interest among the men of the town who desire to be- come assistant to Chief Al Judson. Among the men who are said to be as
 piring to the position as fireman is Justice George Bateman. It is claim
 ed by one of the business men of this town that the genial justice has been looking over the auto chemicals and learning how they are run in an
 ticipation of the time when he might
 be called upon to drive them to a fire.
 Justice Bateman is at present an of ficer of the Fire department associa-
 ton and is an energetic worker for the interest of the department. He is
 also 6 volunteer member of the de-
 partment and within that capacity
 has answered many alarms both day and night so that the work of fight
 ing a fire is not new to him.
 It was impossible to talk to Justice
 Bateman on the phone today so that his statement regarding the new Inn ember of the department could not I'be secured.
