CITIZENS POINT TO
FAVORS SHOWN IN
STREET CAR CASE
Belief Exists That City Has
Been More Than Lenient
With Company.

Some citizens who are not inclined
to sit idly by and watch the Indian
apolis Street Railway Company get
an increase in fare with mo ques-
lions asked" are pointing out that
the city has been more than lenient
with the utility in the last six or
seven years.
The street railway company has
put figures which it says show it to
be in great need Of financial relief.
before the city administration and
various civic organizations. Council
has been asked to adopt a resolution
favoring increased fare. So have civic
clubs. Several of the civic clubs have
replied in the negative in no uncer-
tain terms.
The city administration apparently
favors the car company, such state
ments as have been issued leading to
this conclusion. Mayor Shank has
been non-committal. City council may
have a resolution supporting the in
crease before it tonight.
COuncilmen Give Reasons
If such a resolution should Gomez
before the council several councilmen
are known to have decided to vote
against it for these reasons:
/. The street railway company has
had MANY favsrs from the public
since the war.
2. The council has absolutely no
+hsa
street railway shall have higher fare.
so why should courcilmen incur
criticism by acting one way or The
other?
One councilman known to be de-
termined not to be put in the position
Of favoring more money for a pubic
utility said he believed the company
should live up to some Of its present
legal and moral obligations to the city
before it asks further favors.
Among the good turns'' the city
has done the street car company in
the last few years, because it was
recognized the utility's financial son
dition was not strong, are:
City's Favors
1. City has been Ienient in requir
ing company to rebuild WORKOUT and
sometimes dangerous tracks and to
repair track paving.
2. City has not insisted upon extern
sions of lines, orders for which were
placed upon the board of works books
years ago.
8. City council eliminated jitney
bus competition.
4. Park board prohibited buses
from operating upon the section of
Meridian ST. designated as a boulevard
and tapping one of the street raj
ways "short haul territories.
BY each of these moves the city
saved money for the car company and
caused the public to suffer loss in
transportation service, officials pointed
out.
