Mishap to Vanitie
Again Blocks Race
With the ResOlute

Newport. r. l., June 22.-The part
ing af a shroud on the sloop Vanitie
today prevented what appeared to be
the bst weather opportunity yet pre-
scented to test the qualities of the
sloop defence as aspirant yachts
Resolute and Vanitie. The yachts
were at the line with a Is knot breeze
blowing, a good sea running and a
fog which had delayed the start
blown away, when one of the strands
on the Vanitie's starboard shroud
parted, and the sloop was forced to
head back into the harbor. The
sloops will try again tomorrow to sail
their tenth race.
Vanitie and Resolute now have had
three accidents each during the trial
series of races. Resolute lost her
mast, and her topmast. and broke
the Jaws of her gaff. Vanitie frayed
the main boom bride. picked up a
lobster pot and today parted a
shroud.

ZONE FARE BOOST
FROM I TO 10CEN7s
In Petition to Public Utilities Commission
Says Present Fare Allowed Year Ago Has
Proven Inadequate - Deficit of SCI, 682 For
First Five Months Under REORGANIZATION
Plan - Increase to Workers Added Over
100000 to Yearly Payroll
EVEN MONEY FARE

n is understood that the Andres
coggin & Kennebec Street Railway
company will soon petition the
Maine Public Utilities Commission
IN, nernission to raise its fares from
seven to ten cents.
The petition is very brief and cites
that the present rate Of fare is seven
cents, as permitted by the commits
son in its decree of June 3, 1918,
rranted to the Lewiston, Augusta &
Vaterville Street r. r., Of which
the present corporation is the sue
ussor.
Notwithstanding this increase, the
lewiston, Augusta G. Waterville
Street r. r. was unable to pay its
operating expenses and fixed charges
and it passed into the hands Of a re-
cever Dec. Is of the same year. The
reorganization followed, and since
Oct /, 1919, the property has been
operated by the corporation known
as the Androscoggin & Kennebec
company. 1t is understood that the
petition sets forth that the present
fare does not afford sufficient revenue
properly to maintain the property and
nay fixed charges incident to it's OPP
Grafton, the deficit for the first five
months of 1920 totalling the very
considerable sum of s62,6S2. The fig
ures on this deficit were reached
after deducting the interest charges
for that period on the underlying
bond issues. and without any allow
ance for return on capital stock.
The company sets forth, it is I'M
derstood. that an increase of wages
to employees, based on the findings Of
board of arbitration and being ret
roactive to May /, 1920, added over
100000 yearly to the payroll. The
company believes that ten cent
fare, with the sale of II tickets for
one dollar, is the very least neces-
sary for its continued successful
operation.
