a ee mene nt cate ements N A A H THE SEATTLE STAR—-WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 24, 1919. -EDITORI KEL FARE One of the outstanding facts in the operation by the city of Seattle’s street ' tem is the retention of the nickel fare. In Tacoma—in Portland—in Spokane, the fares are higher. In most cities the United States the fares are higher. While the amount per ride is small cent or two cents as the case may be—it means a net saving of about $30 average family per year. To the city at large it means a saving of more n a million dollars. But that is not all. The inconvenience of shelling that extra penny to the conductor is considerable. Seattle patrons are that. "And, in spite of the nickel fare, the city-railway, accord- | ———— to Superintendent Murphine, is making a profit—$7,599 | [ WE'LL SAY SO URES On the Issue of Americanism Jhere Can Be No Compromise She Seattle Star Mail, out of city, 8c per month; 3 months, 6 months $2 year, $5.00, in the n.
