Too Busy to Heed Charges.

We have been asked why we did not

have been too busy. We discussed the

another that We were allowing them 10
make too much money on interest, and
again il has been said that We were al
loving "a ncfarious bargain between them
and their bankers.
1T is possible that ia the past there
have been lapscs of better judgment on
the part OF the transit companies, but
their earnings show they have an income
Of so much money. and the figures are
iudisputablc.
The difference between the city and the
transit companies was not a question al
any great principle. 1t was not ques
