Six Cents Too High.

Tables, which are submitted here
with provide for the high rate of ne
per cent upon the rate base of $11 ,846,-
034, which includes the items of super
seeded property and development cost.
As previously indicated one Of the de-
termining factors Is the number of
revenue passengers to be carried by the
street car company during the year
1920.
MIR. Harris the engineer represent
ing the city, estimated that 81, 900, 900
passengers will be carried, his esti-
mate being based upon record of pre-
vious years, and this estimate was
borne out by careful check of the
number of passengers who rode during
the month Of January, 1920,
The other table is based upon SO, $780,
900 revenue passengers This figure is
used because during the hearing Mr..
George N. Welch, a member of the state
public utilities commission, requested
that figures be submitted based upon
that number of revenue passengers but
the city still maintains that it's esti-
mate of 57,O0O,O0O passengers is fair and
reliable.
Taking the number of revenue pas
sengers and multiplying it by the SER
vice in car miles amounting to is gives
the total number of car miles run dur
ing the year, and upon this figure the
operating expense for the year is COM
Street Railway company indicate that
the average operating expense for the
past two years is 216c per car mile, and
that figure is used in the accompany
ing tables.
amount which Mr. Tutwier himself
gave as his estimate. There is a small
amount of miscellaneous income
amounting to $3O,O7S deducted from the
disbursements in order to get the net
amount required to provide return to
owners to take care of the renewal and
replacement fund and pay operating ex-
penses. Attention is drawn to the fact
that on a base of 1000, 900 passengers
a street car fare of 5,71 is required to
produce the necessary revenue and that
on &C fare surplus would be Gre
ated of $163,705 after paying the IN per
/ cent return set aside; 3 per cent for
renewals and requirements and paying
taxes and operating expenses. Upon
the basis of SO, 500 900 passengers a
street car fare of $3.50 is sufficient to
provide, necessary revenue and that a
SC fare from $780, 600 will produce a
surplus of $74665 after paying all re-
turns and operating expenses.
"These figures are trustworthy and
reliable, and they indicate most con
clusively that a cent fare Will more
than pay the owners of the street car
company a return of 71a per, cent on
, the rate base heretofore, fixed by the
state public utilities commission. A &c
street car fare is, therefore, sufficient
and any fare in excess thereof is un-
warranted and unfair to the Memphis
public
Figures referred to by the mayor in
arriving at his conclusions and used
in two tables are as follows;

CITY CONSIDERS
SIX-CENT FARES
ONLY TEMPORARY
Mayor Paine Gives Figures to
Prove That Rate Ample,
Even on Inflated Valuation
of Street Railway.

The rate Of fare to be allowed the
memphis Street railway may not be
announced by the public utilities COM
mission at Nashville for several days.
Although two Of the commissioners,
Messrs. Enloe and Hannah, tentatively
voted for a 7-cent fare several weeks
ago. and George n. WEIGH voted for
MRe present Scent rate, the strong ar
guments brought to bear by the city
administration and Mayor Paine, which
nave been backed up by many citizens
OF influence, may result in a change
in the attitude of the majority mem
bers of the state commission.
The position of the city administra-
ton, as set forth by Mayor Paine in
his public statements, and the position
taken by W. p Armstrong, the city at
'torney. are that if just valuation
were fixed on the street railway prop
critics, that scent fare would pro-
duce an ample revenue.
The public utilities commission, how
ever, have added nearly $4,000, 900 for
superseded property and what is termed
development cost, and ii appears that
on that valuation and with the decision
of the state commission to also allow
a IA per cent return, that for the
present the city must accept a 6-cent
fare, reserving the right to ask for an
other hearing whenever the receipts of
the company seem to justify such ac-
ton.
What Mayor Paine and the other
commissioners are working for now, is
an order fixing the fare at cents tenn
porarily, or for a period of six months,
with a proviso that If it is shown then
such a fare produces a surplus, it may
be reduced, or the state commission
might then increase it.
In Mayor Paines final statement of
the series, which he made Thursday,
he shows by the actual figures that a
6-cent fare, even granting that all Mr..
Tutwiler's estimates are correct, ex-
cept those as to the number of passen-
gers who will be carried this year, will
produce more than sufficient revenue to
give the company the return fixed by
the state commission.
Discussing these estimates the mayor
