traction lines would fare proportionately

pected to add approximately $4,000 a
year TO the company's revenue. In
commenting on the increase a Stock
Exchange house said: whether New
York city authorities succeed in holding
up Commissioner Nixons transfer order
or not, the fact remains that the trac-
ton companies are going to get every
opportunity TO Increase their revenues
