May Renew Old Fare Strife In Cleveland Fray
In Cleveland on October 22 the defeat of the franchise may return railway property to original owners and revive a seven year fare dispute. City Council may grant a new franchise to save Municipal Traction Company’s control. Observers say the franchise was more about public dissatisfaction with service than the issue itself. The struggle centered on a three cent fare and municipal ownership, opposed by Cleveland Electric Railway which charged one cent while Forest City Railway, city fostered, began limited service on a three cent fare basis.
