The Connecticut Company today issued a statement, ap- parently with the purpose of showing that it ought to be all lowed to increase fares.
 The Company asserts that the revenue from the six cent fare is more than the revenue from five cent fares, but does not state the amount.
 The Company also refers to the financial condition of a number of street railway com panies in New England, which have gone into receivership, or have been abandoned.
 The influenza epidemic re- duced the earnings $20O,OO0.
 The statement follows
 From communications and articles in the public press it appears that many persons believe the present em- barrassing financial condition of the Connecticut company is peculiar to this company alone. The company feels that the public should realize that practically all street railways in the United States are in the same or worse condition.
 Increase in wages, cost of mate rials, and State imposed burdens, have brought about this result rather than bad financing or mtsmanagement.
 The Company's Eearinngs.
 There seems to be an impression because the company's earnings for the first ten months of 1918 showed a het decrease of $6os, 900, that the six cent fare has not produced as much revenue as had been produced under five cent fares. This is not a fact The increase in cost in 1917 was $81O,. 900 greater than the increase in rev enue. The payroon of the Connection comapny for 1918 is $740,OOO more thar 1t was in 1917.
 Tt will be seen that the increase il wages alone Is more than $506,000 de crease. When one considers that 1T addition to this wage increase thu company has had to meet tremendoul increases in the cost of all supplies and has had its burdens of pavint costs. bridge construction, repairs anC innumerable other items to meet, will be seen that the six cent fare ac tually has produced more revenu than was produced under the five cen fare. The fact is that the increased cost of maintaining and operating tn property has been so much greate than the increase in revenue, tha ends do not meet. If the compan had a five cent fare during the las year the loss would have been muc greater than it is.
 Influenza Cost $200, 900.
 Another phase of the situation i the unusual conditions the compan had to meet during 1918. The publi probably never considers that the in fuenz@ outbreak in October and Nc vember reduced the income of tn company by at least $2OO,OOO. Fun thermore, the inability of the con pany to operate all its cars becaus of the fact that 1t could not get plat form labor, and the loss of incom due to the fact that our young me have been away at camp and l France and that there has not bee the usual traffic to shore resorts an other pleasure riding, have contrib uted largely to the condition the con pany now is in.
 "The company is in exactly the san position so far as cost of living concerned, as the ordinary individua It finds that 1t costs more for it live. The individual found some tin ago that it costs more for him to liv The individual obtained more wag from his employer because he had
