The nationwide controversy

Governments responsibility for

DR.. Thomas Parran, United

'KEECH, ELGEN

1t Will take a great deal OF per"
suaSion-and possibly a court or.
der-to make members of the Pub
lie Utilities Commission change
their minds on the recent tokens
for so cents car fare order.
This was apparent today as
Chairman Riley E. Elgen and Vice
Chairman Richmond B. Keech
gave vent to their personal obser.
Vations in the matter.
Anticipating a petition from
the Federation of Citizens Asso-
Citations for rehearing of the
car fare case, members of the
commission declined formally to
discuss the case.
SEE USE OF PASS
Expressing his personal opinion
IN the matter, Keech declared he
saw no reason for changing the
order so that three tokens might
be sold for a quarter.
From the trend of opinions by
both Keech and Elgen, it appeared
they believed the order will induce
more street car and bus riders to
take advantage of the SIPS
weekly pass, rather than pay the
token or cash fare. Keech said:
why should tokens be sold
at 3 for Is cents. The only
class of persons such an ar.
rangement would benefit are
the casual riders of street cars
and buses. I don't believe these
are due any consideration when
this will interfere with some.
thing for the benefit of regular
car and bus patrons.
HEARING PLEA DUE
THE casual rider usually is
one who pays the token or cash
fare because he hasn't got &C.
cess to the family pass. From
my own personal observations, I
don't believe this will work a.
hardship on domestics and
others in the Iow.pay working
classes. I have often watched
these types of persons board
street cars and buses and find
they are pass users, not token or
cash fare riders"
keech pointed out that use of
the weekly pass gives a person a
street car ride at an average fare
OF 4.8 cents, while the new token
fare is 8 1-3 cents.
The Federation of Citizens As.
Sociations, at its meeting Satur.
day night, voted to carry the fight
against the increased carfare on.
The organization is expected to
file a petition for a rehearing of
the case within the next few days.
