AUTO TURNS OVER
IHJUhIhG THREE
RaIph ann Cecil WiIsey and Arthur
Rudd Have Narrow Escape While
Riding Up Fifth Street
Last Night.
TWO ARE IN HOSPITAL
They are Suffering from Bruises and
Conclusion of Brain, But Con-
dition is Satisfac-
tory.

Three boys narrowly escaped seri-
Gus injuries last night about o'clock
when they were driving north on
South Fifth street and one of the
tires of the car was punctured and
the car turned over. They boys were
Ralph and Cecil Wilsey and Arthur
Rudd.
The Wilsey boys are IN Graham
hospital and their injuries include
conclusion of the brain, skinned
arms and legs, bruised knees and
bruises about the face.
The boys, according to the report
which the police have, were coming
north, up Fifth street, and were
travelling at rapid rate of speed
From Timea street down to Bank
there is quite an incline, and the
car was travelling at high speed on
this.
Either the boys ran over something
that caused puncture, or the tire
on the car exploded. The car turned
over twice, it was said by those who
happened to be near the accident.
and the boys were thrown out ON
the pavement.
The two Wilseys were the most
seriously hurt, and doctors were sum-
moned who took them to the hos
pital They seemed unable to give
any coherent statement of how the
accident happened. One of them was
in semi-conscious condition and
was able to walk to the doctors car,
but the other one was not conscious
when he was picked up. The Rudd
boy seems to have escaped with only
bruises.
Doctors attending the injured boys
said today that their condition was
quite satisfactory and they are ex-
pected to recover from their injuries.

9-Operation of non-paying lines.
 10-Depreciated purchasing power of the former unit of street railway fare, the nickel.
 11-Improved facilities required of companies
 12-Great increase in use of pri- vate automobiles.
 We believe that some of the above named twelve causes will adjust themselves within the next two years when we return to peace conditions, such causes as No. 1, No. 3, and No. f. We believe that within two years there may be a, reduction in cost of material and equitable means found for a decrease in per centase of costs of labor to the gross revenue.

 In it's recommendation the Com mission says: The commission, as g. result of an Investigation recoS- nizes the magnitude and seriousness of the street railway problem and it realizes that in the short time allotted to it for conducting an investigation all it can proftably and safely do is to report the conditions as they had been presented to it, and then make such recommendation as in it's judgment will enable the street rail- ways to tide over this abnormal period and still keep running, and leave it for a com mission of three to be appointed by the Governor to take up the investigation and report to the 1921 General Assembly the results of the relief measures granted, and the

 This conclusion applies to all but 12.8 miles of the 82S miles of trolley lines in the state, and the Commis- sion adds that if present General As se1nbIy does not act it will be too late to apply a remedy in 1921.
 The first analysis of street railway conditions, the commissions findings and tions are embodied in Q document which nearly fifteen thousand words in length.
 The findings are summarized as follows:
 We find that many causes have contributed to bringing about the present crisis in the condition of the street railways of the state. Among them, those most vitally affecting the conditions are:
 1-War conditions.
 2-AbnormaI increase in wages.
 S-AbnormaI increase in the cost of material.
 4-AbnormaI increase in cost of coal.
 5-Taxation requirement of the state.
 6-Paving assessments required by state laws.
 7-Bridge assessments required by state law.
 S-Rapid development of unregu- lated iitney competition.
