W, B. A. SHOWS LIGHT
REDUCTION IN INCOME

The June report of the Washing
ton, Baltimore and Annapolis Electric
Railroad shows gross receipts from
all sources of $209.224. Compared
with June, 1921, this is a decrease of
$2S,O79, but the company effected a
reduction of $17,26S, making the re-
duction in gross income only $11,45S
After payment of bond interest and
other interest and deductions the
company had a balance of 1886
compared with s90,994 last year, de-
crease of $11, ass. For the II months
ended June 80 the company reported
a balance of s50,117, compared with
S1S7,974 in the preceding II months
or a decrease of S137,709. An in
crease of s130.709 in the amount paid
out in bond interest during the IL
months ended June so, 1922, accounts
for the greater part of the decrease in
balance.

The rain storm that blew in from
the east early this morning put some
thing of damper on a large proper

That the majority of Republican

favorable to the candidacy of United

has hitherto been claimed by both the
