LINEs-vIcE PRESIDENT
HERE,

Vice President Dimmock. of the Can
ton-Akron railway, has been in Canton
for few days looking over local con-
ditions. and 1t is said. the object Ia TO
try to arrange for some plan for cut
ting down operating expenses 30 as to
increase the dividends and incidentally
benefit the price Of securities.
The fact that he was here gave rise
to the rumor that the number of cars
running on the city lines would be re-
duced, but at the company's Office last
night this rumor was denied emphat-
ically. There is no intention of reduc-
ing the car service, and indeed 1t is
doubtful If it could be done under the
franchise which requires a certain
number of cars to be run. There has
been some anxiety among the en-
ployes, which perhaps led to the ru-
NOR. 1t is possible that there may be
reductions in other departments, but
this Is not known for certainty.
