ZONE FARES FOR STREET CARS

mission to submit a oe fare plan that would "more properly relate the cost
of service with the length of haul and value Of service"
The Company did not take the initiative for a zone system; it accepted
a condition imposed upon it by the State Board and has worked out a plan
which it believes is absolutely fair and equitable.
Criticism has been directed against the plan because it would raise soms

But little has been said about the large percentage of riders who would
actually be benefited by LOWER FARES under the proposed ION system.
1t is true, nevertheless that the short distance rider would save money,
under the zone plan, while the long distance rider would pay n more than a
reasonable price for the 'lengh of haul and the value of service"
"Why," it has been asked, "was the rate made five cents for the first
mile and only me cent for each additional mle?"
The answer is that there are certain costs O. a street railway system

whether the students derive more of benefit or in
jury from their collegiate course Here they are
removed from all such temptations and their only
pride and ambition must be to excel each other IN
