Six State Trolley Companies Propose Big Cut in Fares
Six Wisconsin electric railways announce a plan to reduce interurban fares by about 1,000 per year via an interchangeable mileage system covering roughly 300 miles. The proposal, filed with the railroad fare commission, anticipates a two percent overall reduction and applies across all participating lines including Milwaukee Electric and Light, Wisconsin Public Service, and others. If approved within a week, the plan would extend to more than fifty miles east and benefit numerous cities in the state.

Slump in Microscope Demand Hits Trade
The article reports a general decline in demand for microscopes among British manufacturers, tied to overproduction fears and the shift of many microscopes toward mining-related use. Even with patient safety as a justification, schools and hospitals show slow purchase of new instruments.
