of the city council and has left that
power with the company.
I'VE have decided on the following
plan beginning Wednesday, Sept. 1
All the car fares will be cents on
all lines In Marshalltown. While the
ruling of the state supreme court has
removed the question Of street car
fares from the Jurisdiction of the
council, we desire to Cooperate with
your body and the citizens of Mar
shalltoYn in order that no injustice
may be done either to the company
or the patrons Of the car line.
Books Open to Council.
IF at any time the council desires
to know how the rate is progressing
and the revenue received please be
free to come to the company and
ask for any and all information that
you think will be Of value to you.
We are having notice Of the in
crease OF fares published in the local
paper and similar notices posted in
all Of the cars.
'As the increased fare is relatively
new thing in street railway trans
portation and as it Is not certain
what income will be produced, we
reserve the right to make changes In
the method Of charge to conform to
what may be best for the company
and the patrons. We will keep your
body Informed as to any changes and
will confer with you before any
changes are inaugurated."
No Provisions For Schools.
The company makes no provision
for reduced fares for school children
and does not provide for book tickets
for regular patrons. Book tickets for
| school children and workmen who
| ride daily on the cars have been con-
| sidered, It is said, but no definite plan
| has been decided upon. ii
Street car fares, 1t is pointed out.
have been increased generally over
| the state. Fares In Cedar Rapids
| are now cents and in Waterloo 10
cents. In the latter city. however,
special fares Of cents are made to
school children during the school
| months and laboring men are given
a cent rate.
AS far as Is known no moro has
been made by tho city or a private
interest to contest the proposed ad-
vance or prevent the higher rates
being put into effect.

Ocean to ocean automobile travel has
not become so common as not to be of in
terest to all motorists regardless Of the
time required in making the trip.
Hundreds of cars have sought to set
new time records between San Francisco
and New York. But it has not been an
easy accomplishment. The records broken
by Essex had stood for four years.
It is not speed so much as absolute re-
liability that counts in such test.
The car must keep going. No time can
be allowed for delays. Roadside adjust
ments would make such performance i'm
possible.
And it is because the Essex held to the
task its drivers set and met every road sit
