FIGURES FROM THE INTERSTATE

Since there is great deal of miscon-

since the facts are matters of public
record, but not given the publicity they
deserve, it will be of value to our readers
TO know just what the revenue and cost
of service are and the actual difference
in the territory on and most closely
related to this coast, as ascertained by
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
