Manufacturers Split Over City Fare Rate Debate
The Manufacturers Association weighs two fare options amid wage-area politics. A canvass of 20 000 city workers will show which plan gains support. Alpheus Winter says many factories favor the seven and a half cent token with transfers. Shops near downtown push to keep a five cent nickel fare, with the neutral zone crossing Main Street. An executive session is set to decide policy ahead of the March hearing. Mayor Atwater hints at a showdown over revenue and transfers.
