Met receivers may balk at transfers plan on 5 cent fare
The Metropolitan Street Railway receivers indicate they may challenge any order restoring transfers with independent lines at a five cent fare. Attorneys Milburn and Thompson argued the commission lacks power to impose a through route, while the commission granted a grace hearing to allow new testimony on why a joint rate should not be set. The outcome hinges on the commission's final order and whether the receivers will accept a temporary or experimental five cent rate or pursue court review.
