the city of Albuquerque while un-
doubtedly desirable and beneficial to
the community, have involved us in
paving assessments and othe ex-
penses, to the extent of over $780,
600, practically all of which is un-
paid by us, as yea.
1.-THE courts have recently ruled
that we must establish a new rail-
road crossing at Central avenue;
the work to be performed by the
Santa Fe railroad and to be paid
for by us in cash, and that the
old Tijeras avenue crossing is to
be abandoned and the street put
into its original condition by the
Santa Fe, again at our expense.
As part of the above, we have to
pull up our tracks on paved streets
in Albuquerque and rcpav9 the
streets, and abandon other track
age. the whole being done at a net
cost of about $4,000 to us. The
new route will be a great benefit
to all citizens of Albuquerque liv-
ing in the highlands, but is net
cash loss to us, as our railroad will
actually have q reduced appraisal
value when the work is finished,
than it has at the present time.
"Other paving programs are IN
sight which will add to our bur
dens and reduce the revenue while
the work is in progress OF being
done; we must begin to set aside
money for rolling stock replace
ment, as our cars now do not
have an efficient lifetime of longer
than four or five years.
"We had hoped that by skillful
management combined with an
economic handling of our affairs
and a growth of our passenger re-
ceipts, that we would have been
able to overcome these difficulties
in the ordinary course of business,
but we find that we are absolute
ly unable to meet our paving as
sessments and interest thereon,
and pay our bond interest, and
other fixed charges. and the cost
of the Central avenue crossing re-
ferred to above, out of our present
revenues.
Neither can the company at
tract any capital by the sale of
stocks or bonds with such bur-
den hanging over it, and we there
fore desire to file with you an
amended tariff on seven-cent
basis, which we enclose herewith,
effective thirty days hence, in ac-
cordance with the laws relating to
the same.

submit to you any and all addi-
tional information that you may

outlined above as to our absolute

information that would clear up
the crime if promised partial I'M

for my part in this mess, but l
don't want to hang" Fields was
quoted as saying.
Fields, subjected today to anoth-
er cross ss-examination, made two
changes in his story of the shoot
ing of Taylor, but still insisted he
drove the car used by the slayers,
and was paid $1,000 for his part in
the murder.
He said today, according to the
Investigators, that prominent mo-
tion picture actress who was one
of the quartette that planned the
killing, preceded the other three
participants to the Taylor home.
with the understanding that she
was to give the signal when the
opportune moment for the shoot
ing arrived, and then escape.
When the car containing the
Chinese, the white man and white
woman who, he said. were the
others implicated, arrived at Tay-
lor's bungalow, Fields is said to
have declared, the actress emerged
from the house, and, standing in
the shadow of the porch, waved a
bag of candy. The two men inn
mediately left the automobile and
q few seconds later Fields heard u
shot, according to his purported
statement. The men stepped from
a window of the house, and re-en-
tered the car, the investigators
said he told them. Meanwhile the
actress who had given the signal,
disappeared.
Fields was previously said TO
have told officers that the actress
implicated in the killing was not
at the scene.
After the shooting, Fields, 1t IS
