Following the meeting Of the utiii'
ties committee. Thomson said that
he viii present II TO the council.
emhodying &hAxsin thc suggestions
he made Thursday morning
The question Of scent fares for
sesttie's new municipal lines came
up when committee Of the Young
Mems Business club of Rainier val.
ley. appeared before the utilities
board 10 urge the purchase OF the
Seattle and Rainier valley lines by
the city.
THE Rainier valley system has
been awarded a scent fare by the
public service commission" said
Councilman Thomsop. Therefore. ]
do no, see why the fares charged
I'm the city should no, be the
same on all lines. Therefore. l
make a motion that this committee
have prepared and introduce an
ordinance providing for scent
fare on all municipal carlines.-
The motion was not seconded.
Cant Give Service"
A member OF the Rainier valley
club called attention to the fact
that the public service commission
granted additional charges Of 2
cents for transfers. and Council
man Thomson included that in his
motion. repeating IL.
There Is no need OF our making
fools OF ourselves. trying TO do
something for nothing" he said.
There is no law of God that says
our car fares shall not be more
than cents. II has become abso-
lutely essential that we face this
question squarely and realize that
with present cost OF maintenance
and expansion we cannot give the
people OF Seattle proper service and
continue to charge a scent fare.
Didn't Shout Losses"
when we had only the old muni-
cipal lines. the press and city of
ficials were continually shouting
how much money the lines were
making. AS a matter of fact they
were not making money, despite all
this praise. They didn't shout the
losses"
Answering Councilman Thomson.
Supt. Thomas +. Murphine of the
utilities department. said that in
cities where more than cents Is
charged. and better service Is given,
the revenues are not raised, because
the people will mot ride, either
walking or making fewer trips re.
quiring use of the cars.
Would Not Ride
vThis would mean, he declared.
that In Seattle, where 100, ,000. 900
people ride on the cars in year,
10000. 600 would either stay at home
or walk"
Il. B. Mosor, as one of the spokes.
men for the Rainier Valley club.
branded the increase in fares on
the Rainier lines. effective Monday,
as rank injustice. unless all other
lines are charged the same.
They Want Service
1--WE want the city to buy these
lines, or at least give us an expires.
sion of ietention.' he said. This
is not "A question OF fare charge. but
OF service. We want the city to
take over these lines and give us
real service.
The city shousl not be hampered
for lack OF funds. | believe every.
body would be willing to pay or
Z cents to get real service. Rainier
valley is loyal-the whole city is
loyal--to the city government. and
would stand by such a step II the
city deems II necessary.
