some We have had some very
hard times trying to get ice this

ceived a letter from the board. stating
that in the opinion Of the members. the

tinued. No reason was stated why this
action should be taken Sometime ago
the commissioners. officials OF the COM
pany and Charles II. Ten Weeges, State
Fuel Administrator. had a conference
relative 10 the coal situation, and at
that time the commission asked for a
statement on the trolley service. as
il related to the all night cars. A
statement for the first months opera
ton was accordingly submitted.
When last week the traction com-
pany announced It would not continue
the "owl" cars. &c was understood this
action was because the service was not
a paying proposition. II now develops
that while the receipts were not SUM-
GENTLY large TO meet expenses. the
