The directors of the Chamber have
not had time to inquire into all these
changes or the reason or justice for
them. Some of them do not agree
with all of Mr. Perkins' conclusions
and while aware of the fact that the
public may have to accept an in
! creased schedule of fares, they believe

i quired of the facts that these in
creases have been made much more
j with a view to swelling the revenue of
the road, than to be as fair as possible
to the trolley riding public. They also
believe that the new rates will have
the effect to some extent of diverting
traffic from Putnam.
