The holder who uses his pass 20 times a week gets a five-cent fare; cents per ride, The street car fare in the city re- mains the same to those who do not with to tise the pass—t0 cents for a single ride and 16 tickets for $2. While Fawcett fs still sure his “jitney” program will bring the T.

On the other hand {f the B. & 0. Meeta with union chiefs and a nettle. it effected, other roads will fol- low the same procedure.
