Five Gent Fare Company's Right Open to Public Fare Debate
President L S Cass of the Waterloo street car firm asserts the company will not rush to replace the discontinued Rix for a quarter check system. He cites a 15 year contract that fixes a 5 cent fare up to 19 oclock at night and 10 cents after, and notes the public has benefited from six for a quarter reductions previously.
