"You are in a position to know that
no company, state or government, can
give an eight.for-a-quarter rate on
system like ours" said Brooks.
THE outcome OF a fair arbitration
based on the earnings and expenses
Of our company, must be a rate or
fare higher than eight-for-a-quarter.
The committee OF so knows as much
about the cost OF carrying passengers
as we do. We have thrown our books
open TO them. 1t seems before you or
the people can act, you must know
the cost of doing business, on which
the rate must be based.
Our cost OF doing business has
been increased not only by the fines,
rents, increased taxes and other tTib-
utes demanded by the city, but by the
increased cost of labor and material.
The public has been misinformed per-
sistently and maliciously. We thought
we had provided the way, through
throwing our books open to the com
mittee OF 50. to give the plain truth,
and you must learn the truth before
you can do anything in the matter Of
settlement. The same figures that
we gave to the committee Of so are
open to you"
What will you do toward a perma-
nent settlement" asked Aid. Gutman.
