Everett contract speeds fare cut while city pays less
The new Everett street railway contract lowers fares and reduces city revenue. Under the old plan the city would receive 44 percent of gross for every 100000 tickets, while the new deal yields 2 percent of 3125 dollars, leaving the company with 3082.50. The change slashes city income and increases patrons’ costs, with suburban lines protected and the system requiring the company to furnish track, power, and maintenance.
