Joliet Joliet & Joliet Interurban Fares Raised to 40c
The Chicago division fares on the Joliet interurban line rise to 40 cents for a single trip and 15 cents for a round trip effective June 15 as the company avoids wage cuts by adjusting fares. Wages for street car workers remain unchanged. The move follows rising operating costs and a 10 year wage agreement with workers. Dellwood park construction is highlighted as a local focus.
