Streetcar fare abuse prompts protests and letters
Rainier valley residents vow trouble if service does not improve. A Marine engineer recounts paying two fares on the Seattle Renton and Southern line within city limits and being denied transfers. He claims transfers are not honored and extra fares are collected, hindering property owners like himself from returning to Dundap. C. H. Grinwald cites illegality and demands action. The note ends with an ad for Brand New pianos by Eilers offering $168 total on $5 monthly payments.
