Milwaukee line seeks fixed single fare boundaries for city
The Milwaukee Electric Railway & Light Company files with the Wisconsin railroad commission a plan to define six boundaries of a single fare area and set rates to yield a fair return on capital. The move follows Mayor Daniel W. Hoan’s request to extend the single fare to all streetcar travel within Milwaukee, including North Milwaukee. The company cites 1920 capital of 18 million and 1928 capital of 42 million, noting revenues are flat and returns have fallen to 4.3 percent on the last two years. It offers to lower electric utility rates by at least the amount of the projected revenue gain so total community costs do not rise.
