So They Reported to Con-
ference of Governors
in Boston
INCUR DEFICIT OF
$27,OO0,000 A YEAR
Means and Methods for Re-
lieving Situation Dis
cussed

Boston, Feb. 2G.-The governors OF
New England were asked to-day to
support an increase of 10 per cent in
railroad rates for passenger and
freight traffic in New England. The
proposal was made by the executives
of the railroads operating in this terri
tory, who said remedial action was
necessary TO prevent insolv'Slcy. for sew
eral OF the lines.
The proposed increase would be ct
fective until February 2S, 1922, and
would affect all passenger and freight
revenues except those for the coal
and coke traffic, switching charges ana
export and import traffic where the
latter is in competition with other
ports. and mail and express fees. The
two latter sources of revenue are now
the subject of research which when nm
ished is to be made the basis OF a re-
quest for higher rates. The other eX-
ceptions are proposed as means oil
preventing undue increase in the price
of necessities and of meeting competl-
tion.
In a memorandum of the situation
prepared by the railroad executives for
the information Of the governors 1t
was stated that the New England
roads are earning practically nothing
on their investment II was estimated
that they are ncurring a detcit after
fixed charges at a rate IN excess OF
S27 GOO 900 per year. and are failing
bv about S50.OO0,0O0 per annum TO
earn six per cent on their conserva-
tive book values
A compromise of the case III which
they are seeking larger division OF
through freight rates will probably
care Tor Sess than one half of the
deficit.
Present indications. the memoran-
dun said. are that the great major
ity Of the trunk lines will agree, sub
iect to the approval Of the interstate
commerce commission to participate IN
pavments to the New England roads at
the rate of Sl5,O00,000 per year from
Jan. |. 1921, to Feb 2s 1922. No early

Reductions in force have been ex-
treme. and ii is not possible to ac-
complish much more in this direction
without serious effect on the service.
There is. of course, the possibility of
restricting passenger and freight serv-
ice 70 wartime basis. but it is be-
lieyed that recourse to this means
should be had only as last resort.
"In order that adequate and salts
factory transportation service may be
assured to New England it is essential
not only that the immediate solvency
OF these roads should be assured, but
also that their credit should be re-es-
tablished to the extent which will per
NIT them TO improve their properties
to meet the demands made upon them.

CURRENT RUMOR
AT STATE HOUSE
Some State Officials Dis
pleased Over Proposed
Raise to Ba, c mr.

The coming .>c omises to bring
out some in NJ situations in the
Vermont ~ are. In the first place,
the bils..S for the establishment OF
a state achers' college has been set
on the calendar of the Senate for spe-
cial consideration next Thursday. This
is the bill supported by the state board
of education. The Stearns bill, provid-
ing for the support OF the normal
schools at johnson and Castleton, will
probably be reported out OF the House
committee early during the weeks ses-
sion. 1t is reported about the STATE
House corridors that the Stearns meas
ure has been losing ground. Heretofore
it has been believed that the bill had
a chance to pass the House.
House bill % providing for the elee-
tion Of state highway commissioner
by the legislature instead of appoint
ment by the governor will come into
the House with majority of the com
mittee against passage of the bill; but
the prospects are that the bill will be
passed bv the House. An attempt at a
compromise between Gov. Hartness and
the legislature was made during the
middle of the week but it is said that
the effort came to naught. II Is known
that another conference on highway
matters was held Friday, with Howard
Holden of Middleboro, Mass, engaged
in conference.
Salaries are occupying the attention
of the legislators quite a bit, and II
is reported that an investigation as to
expense accounts is being made. The
House does not seem favorably in
clined toward increasing salaries. The
House recently killed one bill to in
crease the salaries of the states at
tornev and also held up the bill in
creasing the state bank commissioners
salary to S. 900 year, which would be
the biggest salary paid in the state of
ficers excepting that paid the state COM
missioner of education. This bill seems
to have caused little jealousy among
some of the state officials, and the
feeling was revealed in salary argu-
ment which took place in the State
House corridor Friday noon, with the
various salaries considered in the argu.
ment
