Free streetcar passes abolished for police and firemen
The utilities commission abolished free passes on all electric railway lines in the District except for company employees. Police and firemen face 15 to 20 cents daily fares, straining meager pay envelopes as they perform emergency duties. The ruling, based on a Corporation Counsel opinion, limits reimbursements and affects transit for public servants and those with advertising contracts upcoming.
