an investigation into the affairs OF the
company disclosed the fact that the cGTn-
pany was not earning the fixed charges
over its operating expenses. MIR. Pizzini
stated yesterday that the deficit amount
ed TO $4,000. and that economy and re-
duction were being exercised In every d.
rcction. Salaries were cut down In every
direction, offices were being consolidated
and men discharged. A five and six
minute schedule is being maintained on
Main street. and a six-minute schedule

her OF cars has been reduced TO the mum.

THE REMOVAL OF TRACKS.

Der required by contract with the coun-
ties.
THE REMOVAL OF TRACKS.
Concerning the proposition to remove
the Franklin and Bank-street tracks
which has been so vigorously opposed IN
the Council, Mr.. PZzin says: In 1899
/ recommended TO the Board Of Directors
the abandoning OF the tracks on Franklin
street from Seventh 20 Twenty-iirst
street. and the running OF the cars over
the Main-street line. / repeatedly urged
this change on the ground that the people
Of Richmond wanted 1t done. About d
year ago the company decided TO make
the change In view of the fact that the
Nain-street tracks had been laid with
grder rails, giving better tracitage be-
tween the two points named. ReaiizinS
that there was but a short time 10 eiapse
before the Main-street franchise expired,
the company ordered that every assurance
deemed necessary by the city should
be given that 10 attempt would be MADE
on the part of the company 10 embarass
the city as to the disposal Of the Main
| street franchise.
OFFER OF POSTAL AUTHORITIES.
About one year ago the postal authori-
| ties notified Mr.. Fisher that they would
| like to have the company bid for carry
|
| suburban post-ofiices, such as BrCoKhlll,
| Seven Pines Highland Springs, and Man
| chester.
MIR. Fisher refused TO entertain the pro-
| position and said ne would not allow any
| mail-cars to be run on his lines because
| Of the responsibilities and annoyances
| 1T has been charged" said Mr.. Pizzlni'
| that the company has concealed pur-
pose in strengthening its anticipated op-
position TO relinqushing the Main-street
| route in event that il does not succeed IN
getting the new franchise, by having an
| other line Of cars allowed permission 10
| 60 over Main street from Iwenty-rrst TO
| Seventh. the idea being that IN some
| mysterious way the companys Posllloh
| would be stronger with two hnes uslhS
| those tracks than only one. rs matter
of fact. the City Council has three times
passed ordinances permitting the use OIL
| the city railroad tracks on Main street
| from Fourteenth 10 seventh. lhese Oh
dinances were passed August TO- $50; May
| ID 1895. and September lS, 1891. ana con-
tain Just such provisions protecting the
citv's rights TO the Main-street tranchlse'
nc are Included i'm the pending ordinance
c,birb the city Attorney and Mr.. G. V
Meredith say fully protects the city III
terests.'
THE OLD COMPANY'S CLAIMS.
| In reference 10 the disposition ol ul'
, Main-street franchise, Mr.. Pizzini said
, '0The city railway having so long glvei
= service on that street. is surely entitled
. to first consideration. In all other ciue
