committee Of directors

it's for the period is s503 $50, and the COM
pany's share is S22534S. These figures are
based on the city getting 80 per cent and
the company getting 40 per cent of the net
profits, as provided in the ordinance

election of April last, at which the trac-
ton settlement ordinances were indorsed.
the cry was heard that net profits under
the ordinance would be mil profits :
the companies would see to 1t that no prof
its were shown.
Mr.. Mittens letter, copy of which has
been sent to Mayor Busse and City Con
trOller Wilson, shows that the net profits
to the city from the operation of the Chi
cago city railway ordinance alone will be
nearly $600,GO0 a year. With the Union
Traction lines-earning % to % per cent
more than the Chicago City lines-yet to be
brought into the accounting system ii is
cOnServatiVely estimated that the CITY will
have at least 81 100000 Il year from the
net profit division.

and the whole Offering combines TO make
a pleasing whole.
Sam S. Howe is the shining star of the
company, being the chief character in

and the Introduction, between times OF
pleasing songs adds much enjoyment to
the act.
