tation to the traction companies to
come to his office and apply for an in
crease of fare, as the courts. under
certain circums tances, have decided he
can raise fares said the Mayor.
"tlrstly Minors plan would force The

fare. Secondly, it would give the trac-
ton and Wall Street interests another
opportunity to unload their holdings or
the honest investing public. Thirdly,
he wants the taxpayers t purchase the
antiquated surface lines. M. Nixon
and the traction interests cannot stop
the people from having an up-to date
