United States government to do almost
anything. But no one suspected that it
cost Uncle Sam as much as 5000 to en-
gage In the innocent amusement Of flying
kite until yesterday.

reimbursing a man in Virginia to the
extent Of the above amount for the loss
Of "sorrel horse, thirteen and one-half
years old. five and one-haf hands high
and weighing 1900 pounds" which got
tangled up in the wire of a government
kite used by the Agricultural Department
for weather observations, and ruined
itself.
The; kite came down in a pasture where
the horse was. The two got mixed up
with disastrous results to the horse.
1t took a dozen aff1davits, printed bill
and report, and some Oratory on the
floor of the House to induce Unole Sam
to pay for the injured animal.

NEW CALCULATIONS PROBABLE.
Increase in D. u. Rs Earnings Affects
"Fifty's". Report.

A full statement of the Detroit Unit
ed Railway earnings for 1909 shows
that they totalled $S.002.352. an in
crease of 1894, 66S over 1908. Earnings
for the fourth week of December were
$223.692.
The big 1909 earnings may call for
another estimate as to cost OF service
on the part of the common council be-
fore any franchise negotiations are
concluded. The committee of fifty re-
port is based on the revenue and oper-
ating cost of 1908. AS earnings were
low In that year and increased dis
proportionately to operating expenses
in 1909. 1t is thought that a calcula-
ton based on the latter years figures
would show a cost of service rate we'll
under the 3.43 rate shown in Account
ant Gridley's report.
There was more paving work done
In 1893 than I'm 1908. but this differ
ence would not make up the margin
between the earnings of the two years.
Wages were also increased slightly.
Another thing which may call for
revision of the base OF computing
fares Is the sale of the Woodward
ave. car barns and storage yard to the
Cadillac Motor Car Co, and the pro-
posed shifting of the car barns and
storage to the Highland Park tract
owned by the ID. u n.
