An interesting feature OF the ward.
/ assented to by all the arbitrators. was
the fixing Of the charge TO be made for
the use Of the old company's tracks
at seven and one half cents uer car

car mile for current ana overhead
charges,
The minimum car mileage under the
FIVE minute schedule provided for in
;he franchise will reach 1880 miles per
diem costing he new line s42I4 for
( every DAY in the year or a total of
s15.4l7. This figure however is said
to tie mach smaller than the actual to-
tai for the reason that more than
twelve cars are TO be operated, On the
basis Of sixteen cars the total track
aae, current and overhead cost the
new line must pay for the use of about
a mile and a quarter Of track and cur
