Six-cent Fare Is
Again Held Proper

The six-cent fare of the Lehigh
Traction Company, operating in
Hazleton and vicinity, against which
complaints were filed with the
Public Service Commission by Mine
Workers Unions at Lattimer Mines
and West Hazleton, has been upheld
by the Commission in an extensive
opinion by Chairman w. D. B. Aim
ey. The report of the Commission
does not take into consideration the
stock of the company, amounting to
S1,0O0,000 upon which no dividends
have ever been paid and does not
include the bonded and other debt,
aggregating 100000, for valuation
purposes,
The report holds that the cost fig
ure of the property is sS45, 5,601.94,
and that the cost of operating dur
ing 1918 was S197,737.S2, not in
cluding bond interest, which with
an annual reserve of $25,936.1S for
depreciation to keep the property
in good repair for public service,
and a fair return of $50, 1914 to
the stockholders on the investment
of SS45,601.94 establishes the am
cunt the company should receive
at $2S2,S64.64. The six cent fare
brought in only $2S2,35S.50 in 1918
and the five. cent fare considerably
less.
