When the Muskegon Traction & Lighting Co. increased their fare to ride the street cars from 6 cents to 7 in 1919, the people of my city rioted and burned all of Muskegon Trac. & Ltg. Co.'s barns and wrecked 13 of their street cars-- leaving us without public transportation for 2 weeks.
This token is early 1920s.
