Mayor Barinnssid in closingzhis tpleu.
Then followed the pleas of many
local business men. the first being M.
N. Mayehof! who said that he woke"

ployed at his fastery. .He said that he
believed that the" trolley company

the women would ride to lunch and
return. He believed that the iivé.cent
fare and the flue cent transfer would
be acceptable to all. The ten alnt
fare meant less riding. more people
walking. and a. consequent loss of time
to both the factories .and the people.
‘Rev. '1‘. J. Finn. representing the
Kiwanis committee. composed of him-
self. Mr. Msyehofi'. George F. Betta.
William H. Raye. Judge John Keogh
and Attorney Edward J. Quinlan. said
that the. people liked the trolley com-
pany. that it had always been court-

posed to it because of the concessi in
