only about $S5oO0,oO0. IT is undoubtedly

Under the pending Constitutional
amendment, if ratified by the people next
year, this annual fixed charge will be
reduced from 60 per cent. to per cent
by reduction in the annual sinking fund
charge from 2ts per cent. TO l per cent
This would make the annual fixed charge
on the investment in the North Broad
street line and delivery loop only N75o,Ooo
year.
If the city were to make the Investment
now, under existing legislation, an annual
charge of 80 10000 would pay not only the
interest. but also would pay off in 80 years
the whole debt Incurred for building the
line. and the city would then own the
North Broad street subway and delivery
loop free of all debt without any further
annual fixed charge, as great municipal
income-producing asset,

line speeders, one carrying party of
eight, and the other carrying four, met
in head-on collision in the night at
a point between Kramer and Eckman,
several being seriously injured.
The party of eight was returning

tending a ball game, and the other
party was bound for Deep, N. D.
Only one of the spceders had light
and the members of the other party
discovered it too late. The cars were
making about thirty miles an hour.
J. N. Wright, section boss of Kra-
mer, had both legs broken; H. A. Cor
don. depot agent at Deep, N. d., was
internally injured, and was uncon-
scious twelve hours, still being in a

section foreman, besides having both
legs broken, received internal injuries
from which he died Sunday afternoon
at 4:3O. Agent Maguren of Deep who
was severely injured about the head,
was unconscious for ten hours but
hopes are entertained for his recovery.
Both cars had h. p. engines and
were running at full power and met
with such force that they became i'm
bedded in each other, not leaving the
rails. Every bolt on both cars was
drawn by the force Of the crash.
