into service on the Augusta division.
Our plans contemplate extensive
changes and Improvements III our
power situation, which VIII be exc
cuted as soon as equipment and ma
terial can be secured.
The conditions of the past two years
have been specially severe upon street
railways, which have had to meet en-
ormous increases in operating costs
with a practically fixed rate of income
and the point has been reached where
many companies have had to have a
substantial increase in rates to con-
tinue operation. We have endeavored
to show that, Notwithstanding these
conditions, our faith in the outcome
is such that, with no prospect for ade-
quate return for some years to come,
we are increasing our investment with
an idea in giving the right kind of
service.
We appreciate the manner in which
the commission has taken up these
complaints with US. giving US an OPP
portunity to set forth informally our
side Of the case We trust in view Of
the extraordinary situation that we in
common with all other public utilities.

plans to give them better service
Yours very truly,
A. H. FORD,
