supt. Gale Misguided in Atlantic City
Paper.

6RS1s
Pleasantville, N. J., Aug. 6, 1919.
Editors ~Pleasantville Press
| notice in Atlantic City Press of
even date, news item relative to an
interview held with me by a represen-
tative of that paper. Same has proba-
bly, come to your notice, and | desire
to call your attention to two very
much misquoted sections of this arti-
Gle, as follows:
First, it is not only inconsistent but
absurd to assume that we had during
the past month experienced "a 1000
increase in our gross business. If
such an increase was to be realized
we would not be alarmed at our pres
ent financial condition. AS a matter
of fact we have experienced a small
increase in our gross income over last
year, but far from sufficient to meet
the continual increased cost of opera
ton. We have made no effort to Sc
cure an increase over present rates of
fare; however, | may say that unless
the cost of operation decreases this
may be our only alternative.
Our company is not alone. as 500
of the street railways of the country
are in relatively the same position
that We are, and many of them much
worse. The Federal Railway Commits
sion now holding public hearings at
Washington are called upon to solve
the problem of this big industry of the
United States. 1t is the same story
that We all know to be a fact as indi-
viduals, the purchasing value of a dol
lar is but soc to-day as compared with
a few years ago. l would thank you
to publish the above facts.
