preparation for the railroad revolving
fund as serious: In q statement to-
day Mr. Rea said
Il urged Inc passage Of the $3.50 -

the railroad administr on and deep
ly regret it has failed. because il
leaves the railroad situation N state
of confusion and may mean the i'm

THE situation, however, is so Sc
rious that l suppose some relief plar
will be devised and promptly adopt
ed; otherwise it is difficult to see how
the operation of the railroads can be
continued for any length OF time This
failure to secure needed money falls
hard on many companies IN Penr- /

RECEIVERS APPOINTED FOR
THE RHODE ISLAND CO.

Providence, r. L, March 4.-Three
permanent receivers were appointed in
the superior court today for the Rhode
Island company which controls virtu-
ally all the street railway lines in the
state except those at Newport, The
receivers are Frank H. Swan, who has
been temporary receiver since Jan. 20,
Theodore Francis Green, one of. the
federal trustees appointed in 1914 'un-
der a court decree, and Zenas w. Bliss,
chairman of a special commission
named by the general assembly to in
vestigate the company's affairs.

to it's employees. The replacement val
uation of the lines has been estimated
by the federal trustees at s32, ,000,000
