the cents cash and 10 tickets for 65
cents. After elaboration, Judge Nc

the initial fare of cents be continued
instead of I cents and 10 tickets for
65 cents, this fare to be in effect for
at least three months period from
April /, Judge Mccall to determine al
the end Of that period whether under
the terms and provisions made oy the
utilities commission. earnings have been
sufficient under this e-eent fare to pro-
vide the necessary expenses and re-
turn.
THE RECEIVERS have expressed their
willingness to adopt this suggestion and
yesterday laid the matter before the
utilities commission. and the coEuis-
sion has agreed to the suggestion and
with the consent of the receivers and
city authorities to make this initial
G-cent fare for the test Deriod of three
months a part Of its order,

taking this step, hoping that the CO.
