Even before he took the oath he renewed his pledge to give the city a five-cent carfare within 90 days. And the words had scarcely been uttered before Councilman Fitzgerald introduced a five-cent fare ordi- nance which would be effective, not in 90, but in less than 60 days. The Star has nothing but commendation. When Councilman Fitzgerald introduced his ordinance last year it was on the assumption that it would in- crease street car patronage sufficiently to overcome the difference in fares. This The Star believed to be a fallacious presumption. Now, however, it’s a horse of another color. Recent court decisions have been to the effect that the general fund cannot be touched for payment of interest or principal of the bonds. This leaves the problem strictly up to the bond- holders. If the city goes ahead and re-establishes the five- cent fare, which was in effect at the time the system was bought, it'll be the bondholders who will have to worry should a deficit result. Mayor Brown says the street car contract is impos- sible. He's right. It is, } But in the past the impossibility has been felt only by the city. A five-cent fare might make the bond- holders feel it, too, and might bring about a new con- | tract, under which the city would pay what the lines are worth—and no more, INQUIRY INTO | PHONE METER | IS PUT OFF! ‘Both Sides Greet Decision as Big Victory; Throngs | at Hearing By Robert B.
