fair for the purpose of raising funds
to defray expenses on his new church,
the Montana girls in the graduating

kindness and forward some tangible
proof of their devotion to one who has
been friend to them and to the fnsti-

Alexandria. Va. March 1.-THE hearing
before tie Virginia corporation commits
silon in the matter OF the complaints Of
patrons Of the Washington Arlington and
Falls Church Railway. which has been
concluded at Richmond brought out the
facts concerning the operation and finan-
cial condition of the electric road. It was
developed by she testimony that the road
has a capital stock OF $l04000 Of which
$4,000 was paid in cash. and bonded in
debtedness Of S550. 600. Sixty per cent OF
the capital stock. and nearly the entire
bond issue are owned by c. S and c. R
Hinchman. of Philadelphia. who are. re-
specuvely, president and treasurer Of the
company. and receive $50 a month each
for nominal duties
OF the bonded Indebtedness $4,000 pay
6 per cent interest. and were acquired by
the Hinchmans at 80 cents on the dollar
while the remainder pay per cent. and
were acquired by the same owners. with
the exception of Sl3 600 worth. for s1S7. 800
No dividends are paid on the stock, but
the interest on the bonds is regularly paid
out Of the earnings, and the surplus.
which last year amounted 10 S,S00 has
been devoted TO betterments. The annual
gross earnings last year were S10I. 200 and
the operating expenses $4,000.
The commuters. through their counsel.
have asked the corporation commission
TO reduce fares by the establishment Of
zone system in which cents shall be
the rate of fare within each zone and to
require that the line shall be equipped
with modern suburban cars. 1t was shown
at the various hearings that the rates Of
fare arg lOt uniform, and complaint was
made that they are excessive. In behalf
OF the company it was contended that
with lower fares the road would lose
money, contention which the commu-
ters regard as inconsistent with the fore
going account Of the financial condition
of the company It was pointed out by
counsel for commuters that although no
dividends were paid on stock. the revenue
from the bonds gave the owners OF the
road an ample return on their cash in
Yestment
The corporation commission has taken
the case under advisement.
