Show Philadelphia Raises Car Fare Philadelphia. Philadelphia has gone on an 8-cent streetcar fare basis, or two rides for 15 cents, simultaneously sim-ultaneously with publication of the letter of Governor Pinchot to the state public service commission criticising crit-icising that body for "unseemly haste" in temporarily approving the rise in fares. The old streetcar rate was 7 cents, or four rides for 25c. Mr. Pinchot, in his letter to the commission, com-mission, recommended that Milo R. Maltbie, New York, be employed to investigate the entire streetcar situation situ-ation in Philadelphia. |
