UTILITIES
 ARE IN BAD WAY
 STATES VIII. TAFT I

NEW YORK, June 19.-Testimony that the general situation among the country's public utility corporations is most discouraging and that wage in- creases higher cost of materials and kindred circumstances have greatly depressed the financial strength of the companies was given here today by William Howard Taft as the first wit ness at the federal electric railway commissions hearing into the prob lems of public utility finance ana ser vice.
 MT. Taft said the investigation made by the war labor board into the wage problem and the increases grant ed in many cases,o had, he thought, more or less established an upward tendency. He did not. see any near prospect of a decline in amounts paid tor labor. He had found employers obstinate against any increases, on the ground their companies could not pay them and maintain the service re- quired
 He consulted many business men who had refused to build because of the high cost of material, MT. Taft de- clared and now they were coming to regard the higher costs as a level, more or less fixed.
 MT Taft said:
 "I believe it would be best for all concerned to have complete state con trolr especially for speed and efficien- cy but there is strong. feeling among the people for local, regulation. The whole problem should be under the state with local aid, but the local board should not control everything A fixed fare for 20 years, under pres ent conditions, would not be right, in my opinion. The purchasing power of a dollar has decreased and this, of course, applies to the nickel"

CITY TO BUILD
STREETS over
ROAD TRACKS
Railroad Officials Informally
Approve Building Street
Over Tracks on the
South Side.

Railroad officials have Informally
approved the project OF building a
new street over tracks and bridges
from the south end of the Thirty
second avenue car line to Thirty
third and | streets.
The proposal, as worked out by
Commissioner Roy N. FOWL and the
city planning board, is to build a
road that will carry street car tracks.
The project requires official ap-
prevail by railroads because there
are five roads to be crossed by via
ducts, and the viaducts will have to
be built by the roads.
Commissioner FOWL has asked the
roads for their official approval. He
does not believe any of them will
object because the proposed street
will open up big industrial area.
The roads that will have to be
crossed by viaducts are: Union Pa
cihc Northwestern Belt Line, Bur
lington, and Union Stock Yards
lines.
General Manager Buckingham of
the Stock Yards Co., Saturday said
he approves the proposal.
M. Towfs engineers have esti-
mated the total cost, exclusive of
laying street car tracks, at 1884, $40.
He estimates that the cost of the
various viaducts will be approx
rlateIy $250000, leaving a little more
than 100000 to be spent by the city.
Al present, there is no way of get
ting to South Omaha except via
Twerty-fourth street, or streets east
Of there. Persons coming from the
southwest to Omaha, have to go
through the packing house district
to get to Omaha.

Chicago Grain and Provisions.

Chicago, June 7.-Weakness prevailed
most of the time in the corn market to-
day owing largely to liquidation of lines
that exceeded the newly re-establishnd
| maximum limit, 100000 bushels The
close was unsettled at range varying
from 1c net decline to NC advance, with
July at $1.6S& to $3.50 and September at
$1.60h to $160%. Oats finished I'M
changed to Nc higher. In, provisions,
the outcome varied from Csc setback to a
rise OF 10c
July delivery of corn was in particular
bearshly affected by sales necessary to
conform with the 200. 900 bushels rule II
addition the market as a whole had a
downward tendency owing to good wealth
and to reports of labor unrest on both
sides of the Atlantic. Sentiment against
high cost of living received much notice
in this connection. During the last Part
of the day, however. weekend adjustment
Of trades led to rallies in which the
September option was most conspicuous.
Oats were in the main affected by the
action of corn. Some improvement of do
nestle stripping call was noted.
Changes in the value of provisions ap-
peared to depend to a great extent on
the course of grain rather than on the
hog market. Lard and ribs showed good
recuperative energy, but pork far less.
