City To Contest
Eight-Cent Rate
Reply to Street Railway Peti
tion Drawn Up by Cor

An 8-cent street care fare in Oma
ha is too much, according to an an
swer to the request recently filed
with the city council by the street
railway company asking that the in
crease be denied, drawn up by Cor
poration Counsel Lambert.
In its answer the city denies the
company is entitled to the increase
and that failure of the city to grant
the increase will not cause the com
pany to lose its property.
When apprised of the request for
an increase in fare Friday Mayor
Dahlman said: "I am not in favor
of an increase, but I don't see what
we can do about it. It looks to me
as though that would be up to the
railway commission."
Commissioner Dunn declared that
"Most people would rather pay 10
cents and ride in a bus than 8 cents
and ride in a street car."
"The increase is not in line with
the 'Onward Omaha' slogan," Com
missioner Koutsky said.
