according to reports filed with the
Public Utilities Commission yester-
day. This amount denotes a slight

May.
Total operating receipts for the
period aggregates s431,64O. while
total expenses amounted to S312.941.
These sums compare with s455,062

A slight falling of in the number
of passengers carried during the

however. and June. in which month
II was expected by some that the

month OF the year. The failure TO
show the common dividend earned
was also easily explained by the
unusually heavy charges to depre-
citation. which were considerably in
excess OF those for the first quar-
ter. Had they kept at the same
figure as during the first three
months OF the year. net earnings
would have covered the common
dividends by a fair margin. In
short general opinion was that.
taking everything into considera-

ESTABLISH
E INDUSTRIAL
CENTER in PONTIAC

Detroit, Observation-Disclosures of a
great industrial center near Pontiac,
rs miles north of Detroit, in which
would be grouped W or more of the
larger Detroit automobile plants n
accessory factories from all parts OF
the country, is seen here as a posi-
bility following announcement by the
Grand Trunk railway that it is ready
to lower the grade of it's tracks along
Dequindre street, from Jefferson ave-
nue. to Hale street, in Detroit, a dis
lance of about one and one-half miles
at a cost of $4,000. 000.
The grade improvements, it is said
here, will drive the opening wedge for
what promises to be one of the largest
railway improvement plans within re-
cent years.
Officials of the railroad company,
the Detroit Board of Commerce and
certain automobile companies have
have carried on discussions for the
last year that included a plan for
providing of an. i~nterruban line be-
tween this city and the proposed new
industrial center so that Detroit work
men might have fast transportation to
the point near Pontiac. 1t is declared
decision as to expansion of the plan
has bee awaiting start on h De-
quindre street project.
Taxes Cause Trouble.
Due to high taxes certain auto
mobile companies here have expressed
q desire to leave the. corporate limits
Of the city OF Detroit and remove to
some other point. Local capitalists
have acquired a 1~,000-acre tract ne&s
Pontiac as the site for a part of the
new industrial project. 1t is said the
work Of moving one - more plants
will be considered as soon as trans.
p%ortation facilies for the workmen are
available.
Local fnanciers say that if the
proposition becomes a reality the
standing of southeastern Michigan as
an automobile manufacturing district
would be enhanced because of the
bringing of accessory plants into this
part OF the state.
The Grand Trunk is planning te
erect a large terminal station here II
the future and to make Detroit the
center of east and west traffic on the
system. Through traffic on the road
now goes through the Port Huron
Sarnia tunnel. Completion of the new
Windsor, Detroit bridge, actual WORK
on which is to. start this year. would
make this possible, it was stated.
