Murphine told the committee, “with 31 people riding on the ear. We can't afford to make enemies in operating the city’s cars, but our duty is to not only pay op erating expenses, but $62,500 interest every month.” Users of the Ray st. stub also sug- gested Wat one in every so many North Queen Anne care be routed over the stub.
