...give rides-for-a-nickel until 1968, when the line reverts to the city. After 15 years of experience, the I. R. T. has concluded that rides-for-a-nickel are economically obsolete. Last winter the I. R. T. asked the State authorities to authorize a 7-cent fare. Refused, the I. R.

Henry Jewett's company struggled valiantly but some spark of public interest or box office magnetism was lacking, and so Boston's theaters must depend consistently on what New York may send them.
