Paitor The Star: I note that the city council gas recently decided to saddle the Municipal Street Railway with the comt of paving between Afecks in the residence districts, I confess that I am absolutely unable $0 follow their reasoning or to fathom their motives, This obligation WAS One Which was often imponed upon private corporations who were weeking valuable franchise rights within a city A the legialative body SCRAPE = SCRATCH - BLOT= SPSS8T = PLIP || SeRaTCH=--_ — ranting these franchises drove as hard a bargain with the private con: | PAny as was possible. There was never any real economic reason why this burden should | have been placed upon the street railway company, The cost of paving between the tracks is @ part of the operating expenses of the company and Im Teflected directly in the fare which it must charge in order to meet Hts Operating cost, All of the people in a certain district use the street Fallyay transportation in that district, and all contribute equally to ite Bupport. When the district is paved, all of the property owners, except Those located upon the street upon which the line runs, pay the entire Gost of this paving, To relieve these latter of part of the cost means ‘only one thing, and that is that the other property owners must not ‘only pay the entire cost of paving thelr streets, but thru increased rai! ‘Way fares must also pay a portion of the paving cost of the city upon which the iine runs. Practically all of the larger cities of the country have been subjected to increased street railway fares within the last year, The citizens of Beattie have been somewhat proud of the fet that they are still riding for five cents. 1 am not fully informed regarding the exact financial status or OUP new venture, but I do know that since the city has taken over the m the service has been considerably bettered, train been increased, and it has nog been necessary to raive } Tt seema to me that some members of the city council do not yet fully Fealize that the atreet railways belong to the eity, and that there ts no r ise question, and that franchise provisions have ceased to exist same consideration must be given the olty street railways aa iv to the city Mght department and the elty water works, The prop owner is charged for the installation of the water plpes running by This property, whether he uses water or not, While he should not be Fequired to pay for the installation of the tracks which furnish him street allway service, he certainly should not be relieved from any pavement or costs by reason of the fact of the tracks being placed in front of property for his convenience. The difference between acreage and city with the corresponding value between the two, is really the differ between street railway transportation and the lack of It, and every of should be made to encourage the extension of the street railway «ys im order that more residence property may be made available. Im my opinion it is time for the real advocates of municipal owned to take a more active interest in seeing that the city street railway is given a square deal by the city council and not hampered at turn. THOS, P. REVELLE “The Star is in entire accord with the conclusions of the writer. The city carline should NOT be compelled to the burden of the paving costs, for that burden has n removed from private companies. In Seattle, the pri- traction companies protested this cost and several and the municipality was ready and willing to con- these points if the fare would be maintained at five city carline is maintaining the fare at five cents— Seattle is one of the few cities in the whole Unit where a nickel fare still prevails. josts to its financial burdens means that a rai ill have to be resorted to. saa ise in fares ‘ such a raise is brought on it will be the fault of the | ty council—and not of the railway department. it ought to be prevented in time. . The “government of West Russia” doesn’t prove that in is opposed to the Bolsheviki. It merely proves that Berlin favors anything that will serve as a gate to Rus- sia’s resources. ’ Johnny Appleseed _ | A modern Johnny Appleseed is now going up and down “gonad urging the planting of trees.
