DISTINGUISHED Service at Home.

There are thousands of persons
during the recent war. in the Army
and out of it. who rendered especially
distinguished services within the bor-
ders of the United States. Perhaps
the greatest services were rendered
by men who came to the Army from
civil life. but surely there were many,
in the Army and out of it who de-
serve all the recognition that a CRATE
ful people can give.
1--WE therefore deem it unwise to
single out any one person for this
great mark of merit among the many
who rendered distinguished service
at home. We have not passed on the
question as to whether or not among
those who served at home there is any
particular one who merits conspicuous
more than any other. but
we do hold that if there is such one
the service that he rendered is not
of the class that warrants his being
placed in the grade with those who
earned the rank of general on the
field of battle"

Application to Raise Fare Pending.
An application for an increased
rate of fare has been pending before
the Public Utilities Commission since
July 9. 1t is our understanding that
action on Our application has been
postponed because of the inability of
the commission TO complete it's valu-
alton. which. however, we understand
will be completed within two or three
weeks, at which time it is hoped the
commission will act promptly upon
the company's application for an in
creased rate of fare, thereby avoid
ing further impairment of our credit
and securities so largely Owned by
investors and dependent holders.
'In view of the above, the board of
directors of this company is of the
opinion that, while the dividend has
not been fully earned, it is justified in
paying the difference out of surplus,
especially in view of it's confidence.
that a reasonable return on any fair
valuation based upon the testimony
introduced at the valuation hearing
will unquestionably be more than
SUFFICIENT to justify the continuance
OF dividends on it's preferred stock,
which are cumulative"
