An unusual and unexpected feature
of the report of the citizens commit

vestigate the street car situation I'm

tive to an increase in fares, is the
recommendation that, IL there should
be a greater net income than s per

retained as an emergency fund for
storm or fire damages, or the like
and the balance shall be divided, share
and share alike, by the city and the
company.

of the accountant company, and his
assistants. Nothing within reason was
left undone that would or could shed
light upon the intricate questions to be

Briefly stating the salient ultimate
facts established by this investiga-

report,
That the report of our accountants,
accepted by us as a verify, shows
that the total investment OF the Pen

advised that the original issue OF

The crown council of Italy met yes

Victor Emmanuel and the belief is ex-
a reply from President Wilson to the
Italian proposals intended to settle the
problem of the disposition of Fiume
Advices from Rome do not indicate the
nature of the reply but in Italian cir
cles here it is said the proposals were
rejected by Mr.. Wilson who also threat
ened an economic boycott if Italy per-
sisted in holding Fiume in defiance of
the allied powers. American delegates
here would not discuss the report.
The d'Annunzio forces at FiuTne are
said to have extended their lines back
of the city so as to include high ground

of the city.
Comparatively good order prevails
in the city, it is said.
The political situation in Italy is ap-
parently near a crisis, according to re-
port, the advocates of the annexation of
