 Among the items listed in expendi- lures and giving the railway company concern is one for track renewals and pavement in Danielson, this item amounting to $16,578.65.
 The circular, which is signed by the roads president, R. W. Perkins. says: "All items that do not add one dollar to earnings but do increase the invest ment, on which interest must be earn ed if the property is tC meet the de- r1ands of the communities it aims to serve. Expenditures of this general nature made during the past four years represents more than a- million dollars, yet net earnings are less than they were four years ago, and they represent so small return on invest ment that capital can no longer he attracted to the industry.
 "If, then, the needs of Eastern Con EeCticut are to be met, if better serv- ice is to be rendered. if improved fla cilities are to be provided (and there is need of them and always will be while the communities continue to grow) increased revenue sufficient to must be secured through increase Of rates.
