ALL READY TO TAKE
OVER-CAR SYSTEM
City and Interurban Railroad
Company Holds Important
Meeting.-—Question of Fares
Discussed at Length.
A meeting of the City and Inter
urban Railroad Company was held in
the Board of Trade rooms last night
and all details completed for taking
over of the line at 12:01 December
first*
Many matters of an interesting na
ture were discussed by the car line’s
new owners, foremost among these
was the subject of fares. The new
company can reduce this to five cents
without permission of the railroad
commission but when once cut down
it must rpmain so until consent is
granted tor a raise. It is the idea of
many stockholders to have a 5 cents
fare to residents and 7 cents for those
who are not regular patrons. This
can be handled toy selling tickets in
blocks. But a number of the stock
holders seem to think that a straight
out fare of five cents will improve
traffic on the line to such an extent
as wjli make it a paying proposition
from the very start.
The company will meet at 10:30
o’clock Wednesday morning and at
that time the fare question, as well
as other of art Important nature, will
be definitely decided upon. It is a
fact that all street car lines in Geor
gia have a higlicr^nre tban llyii ejuj.s
7 cents here hut indications are that
It will he reduced.
President Smith went from Savan
nah. to 'Atlanta and only reached here
a few minutes before the meeting
last niglif. He, like many others in
terested in the company, as well as
citizens, thinks the line can he made
to pay and from the very .'beginning.
Being a Brunswick institution, own
ed and operated by Brunswick peo
pie, ia certainly an advantage ami
there wIH be less expense than un
der the present manhgement as well
as many other matters of an advan
tageous nature. The City and Inter
urbuu officers are G. C. Smith, presi
dent: J. B. Abrams, vice president:
R. A. Gould, secretary and treasur
er. An active manager has not been
selected as yet.
