Given Between Gary

ed between LaPorte and Hammond has
been carefully worked out, says the

half hour. The trip across will be
made at the state in two hours The
be an hour and a half which is as fast
time as ought to be made over new
track with frequent stops. These cars
or train, will give a limited service be-
tween Gary and Hammond, covering
the distance in half hour without
making any passenger stops. The To-
cal business will be taken care of by
Gary Interurban cars, as at the

schedule. There are more than forty
possible stops, most of which are made
on the morning and evening runs and
many of them on every trip. The run

BROOKS TO GIVE FIGURES
ON FREIGHT EARNINGS
Will Hand Them To Committee
Within 60 Days-City Ac-
countant Makes Estimate

City Accountant Bullock addressed
a letter TO Chairman Littlefield, OF the
council committee on judiciary, Mon
day morning, stating that General
Manager Brooks, OF the ID. U.,R., had
promised TO produce for the commit
tee figures to show the cost OF opera
ton of the d. U. RS freight business
and the net profit. Bullock was In
structed By the committee last week
TO obtain the nearest approximate fig
ures from the ID. U. RS last annual
report to the stockholders, and the re-
port 60 the state railroad commission.
He consulted Mr.. Brooks with view
to obtaining certain figures relating to
the cost OF operation which he could
only estimate II he attempted to take
from the two officials reports, as they
include the cost OF the passenger busi-
ness.
Mr.. Brooks then agreed to give US
the information We sought said Mr..
Bullock. HE will have the figures
ready for us, he said, in about so days"
The company, however, will not an
swer other questions which were put
up to Bullock by Aid. Littleheld. Men,
bers of the committee take It for grant
ed that facilities will be afforded Bull
lock TO prove the figures submitted by
Mr.. Brooks, the same as was done
when Brooks submitted figures to
show the gross earnings OF the freight
business.
The Times appears to have been
right when II said that the proposed
license fee of $40 car would be exces-

in Detroit, considered on a mileage
basis" said Mr.. Bullock. For instance,

I found on that calculation that the net
profit in the city, on the milage basis,

ate figures Is somewhere between
these two estimates.
"If a license fee Is to be fixed on
the mileage basis IL Is very evident
that the present rate OF 81 round
trip for each car operating within the
city limits would be excessive, as
amounting to half of the net earnings.
That fee was fixed some years ago, and

The company stated that its gross
earnings amounted to $437,l79.27, and
Mr. Bullock estimated its total oper
