DENVER VOTING ON
FIXING FARES TODAY.

DENVER, COLO, Oct. 22-Tur-
MOL over this city's street railway
problem was to be settled in today's
special, election on two plans for fix
ing fares, the elastic fare plan and
the service-at-cost scheme. Both
specify an initial 6-cent fare with
free transfers.
The peoples choice is supposed to
decide the future policy of the city
council toward the street railway
problem. A good sized vote was ex-
pected to be cast as interest in the
question is general.
Under the service at cost plan the
council would create board of tram
way control which would have control
over expenditures and service by the
street railway company. Returns
would be limited to a fixed per cent
on the fair" valuation of the rail-
way property but no guarantee to
stockholders is provided for. In
der the service-at-cost plan fares
would start at six cents but might be
raised or lowered according to the re-
lation of the company's revenue and
expenses. If the company lowered
fares a small additional earning on
the valuation would be allowed. The
cost scheme also authorizes the PEG.
pie to buy the plant at any time they
vote to do so.
The elastic 6-cent fare plan pro-
vides that whenever the present wage
schedule for employees is changed the
rate of car fare should be changed
accordingly.
