To Raymond +. Stoddard, the engl-
neer, much credit is due for the prepa-
ra ton as well as Tor the thorough and
practical working OUT of the plans and
specifications; as also to Assistant En-.
gineer Walter Law, whose fa1tnful
performance of duty won the high es-
TEEN Of every me mber of the comm1s-
sion.
To the people and press OF the city,
the commiss Oh expre~s their appre-
citation of the forbearance shown I'M
der conditions which they could not
perhaps comprehend, but in which
thew were Obliged TO trust the commits
sion as their representatives. We have
at all mes realized the inconvenience
to the public caused by the closing OF
this thorougnfare and have used all
means to relieve the condition when
it could be accomplished without
detriment to Cur trust.

ed by the roads have imposed very se-
rious additional burdens upon earning
capacity. Although traffic has been
we'll sustained, current net earnings of
nearly all the main lines are showing
rather disquieting decreases. 1t is
evident that, unless traffic increases
or rates are increased. dividends must
decrease with a consequent unsettle-
ment in security values. Moreover. If
the profits Of the roads are to be SER
iously impaired. many improvemtns
must be postponed, and the roads will
be obliged to curtail expenditures in
many directions: all of which will ef-
feet labor adversely and throw many
hands out of employment. The out
look is not an assuring one; vet there
is good reason to believe that justice
and reason will ultimately prevail as
between the government and the rail-
roads. Clearly the latter are entitled
to some consideration in the matter of
rates.

ed that the supreme court will seek to
destroy them. It's policy will be more
likely to conserve; and IL changes in

forced. such corporations will at least

immune from public criticism. They

bly, leave these properties compara-
lively safe from hostile political at
tacks, and prove a positive benefit
rather than a disadvantage.
The general business situation is
improving. Trade is quiet and being
conducted on much more conservative
lines than a year ago-a policy which
is likely to prove helpful and result
in larger and sounder activity later
on. There is still some timidity in
business circles over uncertainties
which have already been discounted
in the stock market, but in due season
these drawbacks should gradually dis
appear.

his kind and genial personality, his
ready wit and his great human SYM
pathy were as ever, so pronounced
in the man, that it was impossible to
meet him and not at once come to ad-
mire him. The r. p. AS OF Rich
mond are greatly honored by having
had Mr.. Wilson as their guest. The
citizens of Richmond, those who were
privileged to meet him, have in unison
proclaimed the great good he has
done by his visit The chautauqua
authorities concede him to have been
the best feature of the entire pro-
gram. And in his going the hope ID
manifested that he again might Be
called to Richmond at some future
date. The T. p A. is proud OF the
impression made by Mr.. Wilson:
proud from selfish motive, because

he brings vividly before the public
