New Subways Cause Increase
What Gas and Carfare Cost.

A report on the work OF the Pubic Ser
vice Commission, First District. from 1901
TO 1911 shows, among other things, that
1,GCO. 100000 passengers have been carried
annually by the suhways elevated lines and
street surface and steam railroads In the
district. and that the public has paid ST.
e43. 772 a year for this transportation. Gas
and electric companies have collected ST.
236 Os5 annually from the public.
tabulation of the cost Of the old Rapid
Transit Board Of Railroad Commissioners
from 1900 to July 1. 1897. compared with the
cost of the Public Service Commission from
July. 1907 to 1910, shows that had it not
been for the planning and building of rapid
transit lines at a cost Of between 100000 and
500 900 a year, the Public Service Commits
sion would not have exceeded the average
rate Of increase in cost to the taxpayers
established by the old board. The regula-
ton Of corporations under the Public Ser
vice Commission laws costs only $1,000 a
year
The work Of planning and building rapid
transit lines consumes three-quarters Of
the commissions time. according 10 the
report, and is responsible for more than 60
per cent Of the total expenditures.

guilty of misdemeanor for having re-
volvers left with him as pledges before

10 have the favor Of the Borough President

BABY'S SCALP CRUSTED

sour little daughter, when three
months old, began to break out on the
head and we had the best doctors to
treat her, but they did not do her any
good. They said she had eczema. Her
scalp was a solid scale all over. The
burning and itching was SO severe that
she could not rest, day or night. We
had about given up all hopes when we
read OF the Cuticura Remedies. We at
once got a cake of Cuticura Soap. q
box Of Cuticura Ointment and one bot.
tie Of Cuticura Resolvent, and fol
lowed directions carefully. After the
first dose Of the Cuucura Resolvent,
we used the Cuticura Soap freely and
applied the Cutcura Ointment. Then
she began to improve rapidly and in
two weeks the scale came OFF her
head and new hair began to grow. In
4 very short time she was well. She Is
now sixteen years of age and pic
ture OF health. We used the Cuti'
cura Remedies about Ave weeks, reg
ularly. and then we could not tell she
had been affected by the disease. We
used no other treatment after we
found out what the Cuticura Remedies
would do for her. j. Fish and Ella NJ
