Rapid Transit patrons from Kali
muki, Palolo and Beretania street
held meeting last evening to dis
cuss ways and means OF securing an
improved car service on the Bere-
tania-Kalmuki line. The committee
which had been appointed TO handle
the matter, reported through w. NJ.
Minton, who stated that 1t had Sc
cured from Governor Frear the prom
Use that he would not approve OF the
present service before the committee
had had chance to present facts
ard figures.
w. l.. Howard presented some data
which he had obtained from the Rap
i'd transit Co., which showed that the
company was making only $1,000 u
year on the line, and that 1t must
lose money in case It improved the
service by placing extra cars on the
run.
l.. A. Dickey explained peculiari-
tics In the Il. T. arithmetic. lie said
that while the company figured that
it cost It 500 u month to run car,
this figure included fixed charges
which had already been paid, and the
actual running expense was only
$500 a month.
Ashford went even further in an
attack on the peculiar financial me-
thods OF the company, stating BADLY,
among other things, that the con-
Germ had .watered its stock in order
to hoodwink the Government in the
matter of taxes.
Is. +. Dillingham; took the point of
