Seek Quarters
Lynn will discuss this matter
either Monday or Tuesday with Sen

The temporary armory must be

to renew his efforts this fall to
obtain q permanent armory. He
has often requested that the PEN

by the general accounting office, be
turned over to the militia, but
hitherto his request has fallen upon

Submitted a proposition for the
Government to take over the Audi.

SEEKS DATA
ON fare
RISE

The exhaustive probe into
the financial affairs of the
Capital Traction Company was
continued today By the Public
Utilities Commission on = new
line of questioning regarding.
possible revenues from an IN.
creased fare.
d. Heberle, chief statistician
for the traction company, offered
figures from other cities showing the
nrnnortion Of cash and token sales on
the street cars. These figures were
offered in support of his estimates OF
the uossible income of the compai-y
/ If the cash fare of 10 cents and four
tokens for 80 cents Is approved by
the commission.
The commission was particularly
interested In Heberle,s compflat ton
which estimates that under the in
crease SIS per cent of street car
riders will use the token fare. AZ
the present time, he stated the per.
cenfage Of token riders Is only $50
per cent. as against 80 per cent In
1917. when the fare was six tickets
for Is cents. A steady decline in the
use OF tickets and tokens is shown
in Heberle's estimates.
Many Use Own Autos
Questioned as to the p- obable
cause Of the steady decrease in token
use, the traction representative ex-
plained that many Of the regular
riders who were token riders are
now using their own automobiles.
He also gave as q reason that 1t
IL irlconvenieat in many instances
to make up the necessary 40 cents
required for tokens under the pres
ent rate az fare. He expressed the
opinion that d sale of four tokens
for 80 cents will greatly stimulate.
sales.
of fhes commission. asked Heberle
if IN his opinion the sale Of two
tokens for is cents Instead Of four
for 80 cents would stimulate sales.
The accountant replied that In his
opinion token fares would, under q
plan. amount to between 95 and 81
per cent.
Figures obtained from street rail-
way companies in nine of the priTl.
cipal cities were offered by Heberle
and read into the records. In four
OF these cities the cash fare is 10
cents and the token fare approx
mately s is cents. Tie percentage
os ticket or token use in these four
cities ranges from S6.1 per cent to
cas- per cent.
Bearing out his contention that
the sale Of two tokens for Is cents
would increase such sales, Heberle
showed that in Philadelphia 95.S per
cent Of street car riders used tokens.
In Kansas City SS per cent of all
riders used tokens. In st. Louis,
where the fare is two for is cents.
92.6 per cent Of riders used the
tokens.
