Des Moines reports the state board of conciliation proposed fares for the Des Moines City Railway Company. The plan calls for a seven-cent cash fare four tickets for 25 cents and two and one-half cents for children with no transfer charges. The board says these rates should take effect immediately and stay until conditions or a new plan justify change. The recommendations carry no legal weight, but provide a basis for city relief discussions. The company president Schmidt expressed disappointment, stating only a straight seven-cent fare would be sustainable.
