REPORTS MADE
ON 5-CENT FARE
Russell Sees Loss, While
Henderson Opposes Pass

The communication relative TO tho
proposed reduction OF fares on the
municipal railway, one from Railway
Superintendent -. W. Henderson to
Councilman y. l.. Blaine. the other
from Public Utilities Superintendent
Geo. r. Russell to Councilman G. II.
Fitzgerald. made public Friday morn
ing. are expected TO have bearing on
future action by the council.
In a comparison OF the proposed
fie-ccnt cash fare with 6L cent
transfer tokens, and continuance Of
the present fare supplemented with a
weekly pass. Henderson advised that
the five-ceut fare be adopted over the
pass system.
Superintendent Russell. in an estl-
mate of the effect all OF the new
rates discussed in the past year would
have on the finances OF the munich
pal system. figured that the five-cent
cash fare with az -cent transfer tok-
ems would result in net monthly
loss OF s12o. .226.9s. Addition of the
monthly payment of s70.250 10 the
bond redemption fund would bring
the total monthly loss to s1as.47G.ss.
Russell wrote.
The present fare. assuming that
s57 900 Ia set aside monthly for re-
serve depreciation. brings a monthly
revenue OF s5sf4saa, or, providing
that the bond redemption payment Of
t72 ESQ r. met. shows a fictitious loss
Of sf2,f0f0f. Russell said.
These estimates. Russell explains,
are based on the assumption that no
revenue increase would result from
fare reductions.
IN his opinion the actual traffic in
crenae under n five-cent fare would
amount TO approximately Is per cent.
