WILL INSPECT EQUIPMENT
Major Trip is Sent to Pass on Co. AS
Useless Stores.

With the time drawing near when
Company A will be able to fully en-
joy its new quarters in the remodeled
city building, Captain Ed Dunavin has
found that he had a number of things
in the shape of supplies from the
state and government which are use
less since the new uniforms and gen
cral equipment was issued last yea:
AS he did not want to store the fine
new rooms of the quarters with OLD
worn out stuff, he decided to call up
on the state to send a surveying off,
Ger to examine the equipment of the
company and condemn and give him
permission to get rid of that which
was no longer of use to the organiza-
ton but which nevertheless had to DO
kept on hand until the authority from
the proper officials is given TO dispose
of it, Accordingly he made his re
quest for a surveying officer some
| time ago and yesterday Adjutant Gen
eral Scott issued an order naming
| Major S. o. Trip of Peoria to come
| here and examine the stores and
equipment charged TO Captain Duna-
win. The order requires the major to
| report here next Friday, and in the
meantime Captain Dunavin has issued
orders to the members of the company
to have everything belonging to the
state or government which has been
issued to them, at the armory ready
| for the examination. The survey.
which was for many years conducted
by board Of survey, will give Cap
tain Dunavin power to rid the quar-
tiers of considerable old equipment
which would otherwise be in the way
and serve to detract from the attract
iveness and usefulness of the new
quarters.

Doing Better; Earns | Per Cent Now

The Wall Street Review in its issue
of Jan. 90 devotes column to the
financial affairs of the Tri-City Rail
way & Light company in which it says:
at may be stated on trustworthy
authority that the TriCity Railway q,
Light company for the year just ended
has earned about / per cent on its
stock. This is the best showing that
has yet been made by the company IN
its short existence of about three
years and shows that the earnings are
on an upward scale. 1t is expected
that the present year will bring still
further developments. There was an
increase in gross earnings. though
small. over the previous year, despite
the business depression; while net
earnings, through economics introduc.
cd by efficient management, have in
creased more than 10 per cent. The
gas and electric light and power de
partments show increases for the
year; but the traction department re
ports a small decrease.
