In fact, the retention of the S%-cent School children is contemplated in proposal. he plan provides for the optional gale of weekly and monthly passes @t a fixed price, individual and re- quiring no transfers. The price| determined upon is approximately the cost to the passenger of two rides daily at 8% cents each, equal to a rate of $1.25 weekly and $5 Monthly; also the sale of passes to school children at 75 cents weekly and $2 monthly, which will include travel to and from school and for other rides that would otherwise re quire the payment of 814 cents. LIKE PAYING PHONE BILL These passes are comparable to the Monthly payment for telephone serv- ice at a fixed charge, the patron en Joying the privilege of unrestricted | Use, but taking no advantage to se cure greater service than is re quired, In the case of the street rail way, by this plan, the patron may Fide as much as he finds necessary Or convenient, but the rides taken over and above the regular trips to and from town on peak load must hecessarily be made an off-peak load. @t which time there is a large sur plus of equipment, and therefore With no additional expense to the way, relatively speaking.
