chairman OF the commission, In the
course OF the opinion which he wrote
on this case. outlines his policy as
follows:
ITO expect public service OF these
carriers tstreet railway companies)
without permitting them sufficient
revenues TO produce II is as fallacious
an economic suggestion as 10 demand

earn out OF imposed rates OF fare
revenues large enough in amount to
pay operating costs, fair return and
provide for the maintenance OF the
property and that the rates imposed
are not unjust and unreasonable

MANY AUTOMOBILES
HAD TO BE T0WED In

More automobiles had 20 b6 towed
into garages Saturday, yesterday and
today than an. other three days since

the electrical system Of cars, and con-
sequently many stalled 1t was not
unusual to see several cars being
towed in
Those who did not have chains on
their cars and tried 10 drive over the
country roads generally had trouble.
Many skldded off the road and could
be seen IN ditches waiting to be pulled
out. There were two accidents on
the Concord turnpike yesterday near

touring car carrying ten negroes was
wrecked when II ran into the ditch at
the foot OF the hill, several OF the
occupants were injured, but none ser
lously. A large Philadelphia truck
also skldded and went into the ditch
on this hill. II was gotten out, how
ever. and proceeded on Its way.
