lower limits, would accomplish this.
When the upper limit was reached,
the fare would go down half cent.
When the lower limit was reached, it
would 20 up by the same step"
Further bankruptcies should be
stopped. he said, because OF the de-
moralization Of operation resulting.

and life menaced through permitting
men to smoke on the carriage ways

All the present breeds of sheep are

doubtful If any domcsticatcd varieties

gested.
The Public Utilities Commission de-
cided TO invite interested communities
to send representatives to a hearing on
the question in Trenton on October 1G
Mr.. McCartcr said his request was
forced by the attitude taken by the
public toward the zone system. 1t had
not got fair trial, he said, but his
company could not afford to give it "a

less day than had been expected, he
declared. and SILL 900 less day than
