STATEMENT ON
 COMMISSIONS
 TROLLEY REPORT
(Continued from Page One.)

(Continued from Page One.)
 Commission and the company are endeavoring to obtain the same re- sults but, as is pointed out in their finding full cooperation of the public is necessary to enable the company to maintain adequate service. It is of course, essential that our revenues are not reduced and this can only be accomplished by a greater use of the service under the proposed rates of fare. We think that the theory upon which all street railway fares should be based-that of giving the maxi
 mum of safe and convenient service at minimum charge-does not jus
 tify the making of any reduction from
 established cash rates for any class of
 riders.
 It is to be hoped that such use will be made of the service under the pro- posed rates as will produce sufficient revenue in order that it may not be necessary to further increase the rates or materially reduce the service which on some lines would result in an en- tire elimination of the street cars. There is a legal question involved and we are advised by our counsel that it is probable the Commission has exceeded it's powers in suggesting the sale of tickets at reduced rates and the installation of communication tickets. In view of this fact the conn pary has felt constrained to file an arpeal with the Superior court, but with the definite desire of not con- testing. a,aiy further than is necessary to preserve our fundamental rights at this time.
 Until the re-zoning, which is now in progress, is completed, no estimates can he ma de as to tneH effect Of the proposed rates upon any particular fares Full Information will be given through the newspapers of all changes in the location of zone limits and rates Of fare to be made effective OF Sunday May 9th.

It has been impossible to ascertain the req son for this silence on the part of those connected with the cleanup, but it is believed that the conference between the Burns men and city off, cials this morning will bring some inn mediate action.
