In Germany there are numerous
short lines Of railroad that require
more capital In proportion to their re-
csipts than the longer lines. In gen
erai they pay from two per lent uE
and manage to pay their running en-.
penses, but there are some that do. no,
pay expenses and are constantly de-
handing more capital. As the gov.
eminent is expected to furnish this
capital, the question has become a

the establishment of motor truck trans

OF trailer wagons must be considered.
