Der Of Commerce. at meeting held
this day, decided that It was their duty
to place on record an expression Of
their views upon this subject.
! After a very careful and exhaustive
| consideration of the statements recent
/ ly submitted by the Traction Company.
showing its financial condition and
comparison, by years since 1910 OF its
operating and other expenses, the di-
rectors are convinced OF the necessity
for granting to the Traction Company
/ authority to obtain additional revenue
to enable ii to meet its increased ex-
penses.
In the opinion Of the directors. the
recently granted increase in the rates
OF wages paid by the Traction Company
to its employees taking into considera-
tion The rates paid to other classes OF
workmen in this city and the high cost
OF living was equitable, just and war
ranted by the existing conditions.
In arriving at proper and Just rate
Of fare to be allowed. the directors are
Of the opinion that your commission
should strongly recommend TO the VIII
mington and Philadelphia Traction
Company the adoption. as soon as prac-
ticable. OF means looking towards the
elimination OF loss OF fares through
crowded cars and from the improper
use Of transfers.
To this end IL is suggested that the
-yOu-enter tOr leave) cars be
more universally used and that a more
rigid policy be enforced to prevent the
abuse Of the transfer system.
The directors feel that, from the data
in hand. they cannot recommend TO
your commission an exact rate of fare
that should be allowed at This time TO
meet the Traction Company's require
ments hut that this can he more in

GERS of the city said today he does not
