TRAM FARES.
It would seem that the chief object of the new advocates of a readjustment of trani fares is to get something for nothing. If * buy a pound of. sugar I pay for a pound ot sugar, "but if I want five pounds I must pay for five pounds. Something for nothing may be all right when charity or hardship is the incentive force, but this question is a business question of how to pay according to benefits received or services rendered. The plain, obvious and fair way of apportioning the fares to all concerned is to divide the trani routes up into one-mile sections (English miles) ana charge one penny per mile. This method is fair to all; besides it would give, no premium to existing land jobbers and" organisations holding tracts of land in the suburbs. MORE TONE AND LESSJfOISE.
