ed at the annual meeting a few weeks
ago over his vigorous protest, and lat
er his formal resignation was present
ed to the board, Mr.. Sullivan giving
as his reason that his business would
compel him to be absent from the city
most of the time. The resignation
was tabled but was finally accepted
request Upon motion of Herman J.
Rossi, a vote of thanks was extended
to Mr. Sullivan for his services during
the past year.

A communication from G. M.

Pacific Railway company in which it
was shown that the company sus-
tanned a net loss of $500 during the

tenn and a cancellation of Sunday ser
vice, the railroad company agreeing |
to arrange for delivery of the mail by

committee to which was referred the
adjustment of train schedules, asked
Mr.. Grubbs if the statement submit
ted showing deficit included the re-
ceipts from express business and for
the mail. and Mr.. Grubbs re-
piled that it did not DR. Mowery al
so asked for a statement covering the
receipts and operating costs for Sep
TENDER, but Mr.. Grubbs stated that
this would not be available until
about October Is. DR.. MOwery con-
tended that the passenger business
during the month of August was not
a fair basis upon which to estimate

should also include receipts from ex-
press and mail business.

tinued with instructions to take up
