CORONER FINDS
 DEATH ACCIDENTAL

Accidental death is the finding of Coroner J. J. Pheland in the case of James Johnson of Fairfield, killed when ap elevator being constructed at the Isolation hospital by the builders collapsed last Friday.

Information Before Action

CtllAENS Of Richmond should not be re.
qulred 10 pay increased street car faro
without being assured beyond any measure
OF doubt that the increase is absolutely neces-
sary to tho maintenance OF proper trans
portatlon system. 1t has been suggested
many times that an impartial commission be
named to secure the facts and figures from
me street car company's books and present
comprehensive report upon which the Coun-
ell might act advisedIy and without danger
Oh erring on one side the other This
never mas been done. Instead, the Street
committee has listened to interminable ex.
parte statements and now after the matter
mas dragged along for many weary months
announces that after another hearing on
Monday 1t will make final decision.
III may BIO conceded that no one. even
among the most ardent and active oppo.
hehts or the increased fares sought by the
company, wishes it to operate at loss or
even without fair return on it's actual cap
nai invested. But there is an honest diff
ference OF opinion as TO the necessity for
the additional burden which Il is nronosed
10 put upon the people, and an earnest con-
'lction on the part OF many that the in
crease should not be granted. 1t would seem
q very simple matter to determine the facts
anu tnsreon to base action by the Council
lhat would be just TO the company and sat-
isfactory to it's. patrons.
IN the absence of such determination there
Is steadily growing opposition eneendered
o' It's own figures, which show that the COM
pany IN the year ending June 80, 1918. was
aoie to place to its surplus account the neat
sum Of s321.s00.07. it's gross earnings hay
ing increased to s253.S355a more than the
increase in its gross operating expenses.
net profit of considerably more than s25o 600
$ not bad showing in a year when the
hhtry was at war and abnormal conditions
'set the material and labor markets. n the
'oihpany can show that profit in such a wear.
thcre would seem little reason now to In-
crease the expense Of transportation to the
Puphc IN the face OF the coming peace when
e3lgencles brought by the war soon will cease
TO exist There may not have been a suf-
hcleht nront to justify the payment OF per
cent dividends to the stockholders but
neither have other businesses found them
selves able, nor have they sought, TO escape
their just share OF the financial burden of
the var.
Ihese are the things that the people who
depend on the street car line are discussing
among themselves If they are wrong, then
their minds should be disabused. for thev
uesire only to be fair. II they are mistaken,
the figures will show their error. and their
opposition undoubtedly will be withdrawn.
