Fines for Week, $2, 900.

Financial Clerk Adkins of Police Court
has found it neces :lry to do much ,V.r-

traffic cases made by the police during
recent weeks. Fines from such cases the
past week aggregated approximately
$4,000, while such cases the previous
week netted the District about 1000

last week, which, he said, no doubt
checked up speeding and caused a cor

May Ask Long List of Advances.

1t is thought hardly likely that these
rates would be increased again. al
though the reference by the railroad
executives to possibly other matters
germane to securing all the results orig
inally asked for Is regarded as sutti-
ciently general to include such an in
crease. Commission officials, unaware OF
what the railroads have in mind. are in
a state Of expectancy and are inclined to
believe that the roads may ask for a
long list Of specific rate advances. or
possibly another general rate increase.
Since the commissions dismissal of
the Is per cent case statistics compiled
by the commission show that the rail-
roads have fully recovered from their
setback of last winter due to the car
shortage and congestion. June and
July reports show slight increases over
the high figures for those months pre-
viously set in 1916. The roads have
been freer than for months before the
car shortage. but another difficulty has
arisen in rapidly mounting operating
expense.
