surplus, a deficit Of moro than
$950,000 being returned in Janu-
airy and of $7,S78,000 in February,
according to the association fig
ures. The improvement, the state
ment said, was due principally to
a marked reduction in the cost of
operation caused by the institution
of economies and a reduction by
many roads in employees"
