The franchise also will set up the
service at cost" feature, providing
that rates of fare will be adjusted
automatically from time to time to
provide the costs of service and re-
turn Of between 7 and 8 per cent
TO the company.
The company will establish a fare
index account, all revenues from
operation will be credited TO this ac-
count or fund and the cost Of serv-
ice and return to the company will
be deducted from it.
Prevent Competition
Whenever at the end Of any quar-
terly period the fare index account
or fund is 30 per cent above the
initial amount and has increased
during the preceding month, fares
will be reduced. Whenever the fare
index account is 30 per cent below
the initial amount at the end of any
quarterly period and has decreased
during the preceding month, fares
will be increased.
The initial rates of fares shall be
such as are set up in the franchise
or agreed to by the company and
the director of transportation.
The city must agree to use all
legal means to prevent competition
with the company, the plan Stipu-
lates. Failure to do so will deprive
the city of the service and rate con-
troll.
Looking forward to the day when
the transportation system will be
owned by the city, the plan pro-
vides that the service at cost fran
chise shall be indeterminate as to
period and subject to cancellation
by purchase of the property by the
city or revocation for causes pro-
yided by law.
The city will be entitled to pur-
chase the street car system at any
time at the agreed price set up in
the franchise.
The plan also provides for arbitra-
ton Of disputes with penalties that
failure on the part Of the company
will be punished by lesser return
than under franchise and failure by
the city to be punished by a larger
return.
