AGAINST INCREASE
IN CITY CAR FARE
Company Has Not Grown
With City, Speakers De-
clare at Meeting,

Opposition to increased street car
fares continued to grow today with
the adoption of a resolution by north
side residents Tuesday night apposing
the proposed increase.
The meeting was held under aus
pices of the Mapleton Civic Associa-
ton at the community house, Capitol
Ave. and F'ortieth st.
Speakers at the meeting insisted the
Indianapolis Street Railway Company
had not expended in proportion to the
growth of the city. Some of the trou-
bles of the company were blamed on
the fact that a number of corporations
are involved in its organization. 1t
was suggested that it be reorganized
into one company.

"A fair appraisal of all these con-

gest themselves without requiring
enumeration, will. I am sure. justify
the frank statement that the Govern

convinced that he has intended to act
and has acted within the scope OF his

sustain him and its purpose will be
to encourage the broadest and most

Looking at the whole situation

feel If the Filipino people cannot CO

has been afforded under Governor
