FEDERAL JUDGE GIVES
NOTICE OF INTENTION
TO SUSPEND BY AUG, |
Action to Be Taken at Re
quest of Receiver; Com
pany Lost Money.

Des MOines, Iowa, July 29.-
Federal Judge Martin j. Wade
today handed down a memoir
andum addressed to all per-
sons interested to be prepar-
ed for a general discontinue
8nce of all street cars in Des
MOines, in August, as request
ed by +. G. Chambers, receiver
for the company.
1t appears from the courts
statement that it is planned
to enter q formal order order
ing cessation of service on
Aug. /, within a few days.
Suspension of service by the Des
Moines Street Railway company
will be the direct result of the IN
ability Of the company to operate
under a flve-cent fare franchise
without jitney competition and un-
der an eight-cent fare with unre-
stricted jitney competition.
The fve-cent franchise was
granted the company on Jan. /,
1916, and the company never was
able to earn either common or pre-
ferred dividends on its stock Tho
capital stock outstanding is 1885,
600, $3.50, 900 of which IS preferred
In a recent statement regarding
the stock, Judge Wade said 'sug-
gestion of watered stock has been
made but no investigation has been
asked with reference thereto and
none made SO far as the court
knows"
The company operated 80 miles
Of tracks in Des MoiLes and gave
| interurban and power service be-
| tween Des Moines, Colfax, Perry.
| Woodward and other surrounding
towns as well as transporting much
o. Des Moines' coal supply.
Receiver Named.
High costs of operation caused
| the company in the summer of 1919
| to submit 10 the people seven
cent fare proposal, which was de-
| feated Shortly thereafter the
company was thrown into the
hands of a receiver, F. c. Cham
bers, and it was in his hands up
TO the time that business was su5-
pended. Last August. Judge Wade
allowed a Eix-cent fare and moro
recently the service was cut As per
cent and an eight-cent fare granted.
When the eight-cent fare went
into effect, the city government
permitted jitney busses to take the
streets under a five-cent fare and
solicit short haul business in COM
petition with the street railway. In
the winter months, when the streets
became impossible from snow, the
buses waited until the street raii-
way sweepers had cleared the
tracks and then followed the street
railway right-of-way in soliciting
business.
Meantime finances of the con-
pany gradually grew worse, the
line being run at loss of $4,000
during June. A. w. Harris, of Chi
cago, and others interested in tle
line advanced more than s500.009
personally to keep it running, al
though they were not required 20
do so under the terms OF Their
franchise or under any personal
obligation to the company.
In an endeaYor 10 meet franchise
obligations designed to cost $780,
600 the company during its life time
spent $2,500, 600, but on account ct
increased prices was able TO do
only so per cent of the work nam
, ed in the ordinance.

TIME EXTENSION 50 DAYS ALLOWED
 ON LOCAL PLANT
Promoters Encounter Delay Gold Storage Project
 Contract Is Extended.

In order that the promoters ol the cold storage project in this city may have every opportunity to com plete their deal with Eastern cap. italsts, with whom they have been negotiating for more than three months, the Citizens Committee yes terday afternoon voted to extend the time specified in the contract for $50,000 in stock subscriptions and $15, 900 for a site for a period of 60 days. The time limit set in tue original contract entered into be tween the promoters and those sub. scribing to the funds expired today
 President Allen Shattuck, of the Juneau Commercial Association. which has taken an active interest in the project and whose members were most largely instrumental in raising the necessary money, as a member of the Committee was au- thorized to issue a statement to the Press in connection with the ex- tension of time. In this statement MT Shattuck said: "The Committee having been informed that Mir Snow and his associates had not been able to complete their negotiations with their correspondents in the East but that they were still in progress with favorable outlook for ultimate success, it has been decided to give them an extension of so days.
 kr,tb for ctrI nf nn tiaued Mr Shattuck, was invested in the Committee at the time of drawing the original contracts, al though at the time it was hardly believed that it would be necessary to do so. The Committee has duly authorized the Trustee, B. E. Beh rends Bank, to retain in it's pos session anl full force the contract heretofore entered into
 MT Shattuck and other members of the Jun@u Commercial Associa- tion said today that it was the hope of the Association that no further obstacles would be encoun- tered by the promoters of the pro ject. The Association, it was stated, stands ready and willing to go to almost any length to assist in the matter. Local citizens, it was stated, have fully met all of the conditions laid down by those initiating the present negotiations and the exten- sion granted was not made neces sary by failure in any way to meet the requirements by the people of Juneau.
 It is generally believed by local business men that tight money con ditions prevalent all over the coun- try is the main factor in the delay encountered by the promoters and it is believed that the next 60 days will see a material change for the better in financial conditions, es- pecially in the East. which, it is hoNed will put the project across.
 The meeting yesterday was called by Emery Valentine, Chairman of the Citizens Committee. and was held in his store on Front Street.

DIST|LLATE TO
 BE OFF MARKET
 VERY SOON NOW
Standard Ol Tanks Nearly Empty-Casoline to Be
 Used by Casboat Fleet.

Although the announced date for the, discontinuance of the sale oi distirlate at the local station of the Standard Oil Company. March l, has arrived this fuel yet can be secured there and will be for sale until all on hand is gone, which vii be within few days
 John D. Helps, District Manager for the Standard Oil Company said today: We have yet some distillate in our tanks, not very much and 1t may be gone within a few days, but while we have it. it is for sale. We are expecting a tanker between now and March 15," he continued, "and there will be no shortage of gasoline as we have plenty on hand but when the present supply of dis tilate is gone, or when the tanker gets here, distillate will be off the market"
 Most of the boats in Alaskan waters have internal combustion en- zines and have burned distillate in the past, but will be forced from now on to burn gasoline which is higher priced fuel but having more specific gravity. Owners of fishing boats claim that the price on fish will have to be advanced on account of the higher priced fuel and men having work boats for charter say that the charter price will be raised to meet the increased fuel costs.
