considerable gossip in legislative cir
cles concerning admissions made by

Company before q senate committed
yesterday. Mr. Robertson, under oath,
swore that the local street rail way
company lost $4,000 last year. The
annual statement prepared by the au-
ditor Of the company, Charles N.
Tew, was presented as proof.
Asked as to the earnings OF the
company in the years 1917 and 1876

were presented and they showed a
profit for each year. In reply to
query as to why the company lost SO
heavily last year, a year when the
receipts were very much heavier than
the two previous years, Mr.. Robertson
declared that the company was
heavy borrower in 1916 and 1917 and
the annual statements were prepared
so as to make as good a showing; as
possible in order that none might be
gotten. He stated that the anruai
statement Of operating expenses Tor
those years did not show the taxes
paid OF. contain anything for depre-
citation. The statements those years
were prepared SO az to show a proht
in order that the company n, nj bor-

lowed Mr.. Robertson on the stand.
swore that the street railway COMPANY
had raade 10 money since his con-
nection with if. He had been with

Tew is supposed to have prepared the
annua! statements for the years 1916
and 1917, showing q, profit for the
company each year.
