Cost Of Service High

The situation" says Mr.. Maher. re
duced to simplest terms, is that the
cost of all labor and materials having
increased TO all manufacturers and
others furnishing materials and sup
plies TO the street railway companies,
the manufacturers have, OF necessity,
increased the cost of their product 20
their customers, the street railway
companies. If the street railway COM
panies were allowed TO recover some
part of this unavoidable increased cost
Of operation by increasing the cost OF
the service TO the companies Gus
toners. the car rider. the situation
would adjust itself to some degree. and
il is only a fair and reasonable adjust
ment that this company seeks TO make.
Much will be said and written as 10
the right of the people TO the nve-cent
fare with free transfers and the hard
ships that will follow any increase IN
that rate. The facts in the matter,
which must be recognized, are that no
industry, including the street 'allwsy
industry. can continue 70 furnish IT'S
product at loss. and that the street
railway industry is the only one IN
which the price at which the service
or commodity is furnished has not IN
creased materially in recent years"
The company presents table show
ing how materials have increased IN
cost. Il shows that the cost Of track
spikes has increased l47 per cent since
1915, Joint plates 500 per cent, tie rods
3!s per cent, steel wheels 100 per cent,
steel gears $50 per cent and tie plates
1873 per cent

Courts Idea of Reorganization

Concerning the course which reor-
ganization of the road should take
Judge Hook declared that the court
would not encourage plan having no
adequate provision for future capital
requirements or one in which the re-
financing was so close 10 probabilities
that earnings were likely TO be alb
sorbed in lean year or a succession
OF them by fixed charges.
Speyer q Co., in a statement issued
following the decision, said they were
pleased that Judge Hook had indicated
the kind of reorganization which will
commend itself to him.

holders whom We represent" the bank

with what the court says, and we hope
that any plans hereafter proposed will

cisms of Present Manage

The application of Speyer & Co. TO
the Federal Court at ST. Louis for the
appointment of a co-receiver for the
Missouri. Kansas & Texas Railway was
denied by Judge Hook yesterday. In
the opinion of the court the criticisms
of the present management by the
bankers who own and represent large
blocks of the company's junior Sc
curities had not been sustained.
Judge Hook said that most of the
objections raised by Speyer & Co. to
the administration of Receiver Schaff
and his estimates as to the future
needs of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas
related to future conditions about
which skilled and competent men may
widely differ"

beautiful scenery and the placid

bought for from $50 to $40 and if
taken good care of lasts lifetime.
BY river route the distance to Bur-

by road it is but eight. The stream
winds in and out at a rate that fairly
makes one dizzy. For instance, by
carrying a canoe - blocks at Dor
