Let those who wish pay every day; but also let those who object to this be allowed to buy a season ticket for five dollars, or whatever price the directors may see fit to adopt. The holders of season tickets would thus be benefitted in their pockets, and also in their patience by not having to hunt for a tiny dime every afternoon...
