TRAMWAY FARES
Up IN LONDON
Increases Bring Discomfort
Reflected Daily in House
of Commons.

LONDON. July 1e.-The ques-
tion Of the increase i'm the tramway
fares and also those Of the motor
omnihuses has caused widespread
discortent here lately. In some i'm
stances the fares in London and the
suburban districts have been raised
more than 100 percent over those
charged in pre-war days
The result has been that public
opinion has been worked up 20
such an extent that aearly every
day london members Of parliament
are asking questions on the subject
IN the house or commons and depu-
tations are frequently seeking inter
views with the London county coun-
Gil and the omnibus companies con-
ccrncd
The first step toward the increase
was the abolition OF tho half penny
fare ana latterly the reduction OF
the distances which could be ira
versed for the penny fare.
Cite Extra Costs.
I ne conn MES UtcldIc indt the
increase is necessary 20 meet the
extra expenses which have occurred
by the workmen's demands for
shorter hours and more pay. The
public alleges that the additional
cost OF running is made up by the
extra fares taken since hostilities
ended
An interesting sidelight on this is
provided by the accounts OF the
Glasgow corporation tramways in
the next largest city 10 London.
The year that has just closed has
proved a record for the city. Prior
90 the war the fares were tho
cheapest in the country and have
since been maintained as before.
The revenue for fares for the year
1888 totalled 100000 pounds.
an increase Of 10000 over the year
1911-1S The number Of passen-
gers carried increased by over a.
100000 II Is stated in the report
that so percent Of the increase
came from the half-penny fares.

Motor Department:-Why is the
selecSive type of gearset so widely
used? Are not the progressive and
planetary types just as good They
have been used successfully for a
long time and on many cars. G. L.
The planetary type is still used to
some extent. but it has only two
speeds forward and is apt 20 be noisy
on low gear. The progressive type
of sliding gear requires you in
meshing gears 10 pass through
speed not required. Thus to back
out of danger from high you would
have 10 mesh second. first and re-
verse gears. If any Of the gear
teeth were in line you would not be
able to do it. With the selective
type Of sliding gear you go directly
10 the speed intended, and there is
no danger of sliding past that speed.
