Street car fare reform urged for six tickets for 25 cents
James A. Horne, chief clerk in the Southern Railway land and industrial department, sent a letter to Atlanta’s mayor and council urging the Georgia Electric and Railway Company to adopt a six for 25 cent street car ticket. He notes widespread use of reduced rate tickets in other cities and asks council to act promptly for public convenience. The letter, dated August 3, 1906, argues such pricing would benefit workers and shoppers while risking no bankruptcy for the company.
