 In Chief Daggetts report for the year ending November 30 the auto of Auxiliary Squad A is compared with the two horse hitch of Truck as to cost of maintenance and efficiency The auto cost S1635a to operate and S1T2.20 for repairs to two ex- traordinary accidents, a total of S275.74. The cost of maintaining the team of horses on the truck was s498.50 for keep alone, not counting repairs to the apparatus, so that the mere feed Of two horses cost almost twice az much as the feed" and ex-
