ON CHRISTMAS SHIP

O'Clock. fire was discovered in barn
owned by the Walker brothers. The
alarm was promptly given, but the
fire had gained such Roadway that
nothing could be done to save 1t.
There wasn't much in 1t and the loss
was covered by insurance. The fire
was probably originated from bon
fire in the street near the building. 1t
required some heroic work to save
some of the adjoining buildings. The
wind was blowing the flames right to-
wards the property owned by Mr..
Noah Branson, but by keeping water
on the roof Of the house and shed the
fire did not reach them. The apple
trees on the alley were burned and

Central Passenger Association Lines
Give Notice Of Increase OF One
Hail Cent, Effective Pc
cember First.
PUBLIC CAN COMPLAIN
Remark Of Commission Last July
However, Leads One to Believe
That Il viii Approve
Action.

The interstate commerce commits
sion handed down decision in July
advising the railroads to look to their
passenger tariffs for increasing their
revenues rather than to changes in
freight rates. says the Chicago Trib-
une.
The commission pointed out that the
passenger business was unremunera-
tive and that reports showed an &C
tual loss to the carriers for twenty
Ave years.
The railroads in Central Passenger
association territory recently gave
their answer to the commission by
fling advances in interstate fares
which will put the charges on IN
cent per mile basis.
The new rates are to become effec-
tive December / and affect all rail-
roads operating In the territory north
OF the Potomac river. east OF the Mis-
sissippi river, and west of Buffalo,
Pittsburgh, and Wheeling.
Public Given Thirty Days.
The public is given 30-day period
to file complaints or to ask for sus-
pension of the rates and investiga-
ton. While there is possibility OF
some such action the railroads feel
the commission would refuse to sus-
pend the rates because of their state
ment in the recent freight rate ad'
vance case.
The new rates, as filed with the
commission. show an attempt to put
the tariffs in Central Passenger asso-
citation territory on an even basis OF
2h cents per mile as substitute for
the present system of charges. which
range from cents per mile to IA
cents. The increases will add more
than $1,00O, 900 to railroad revenues
annually, It is estimated.

A Statement.
Editor Independent:

Editor Independent:
In your issue of yesterday in
mentioning the fact of the Wal
nut Street Improvement, you
did not 60 far enough. This is
to emphasize the fact that the
property owners have public
spirit enough to make this i'm
provement without cost of ad-
ministration to the taxpayers,
Stayton & Stayton are giving
their services as attorneys, pro-
vided it will not go into court,
the commissioners serving with
cut pay, the assessors and col
lectors doing the same, so that
the only expense the taxpayer
will be charged with is the actu-
al construction of the work done,
whatey kind it may be.
Pleal We this space, as we
belie- inspire others to
lie improvement of
<veets badly in need of it.
