revenue of the street railroad de-
creased $S.461, and for the month
of June, 1924. $1,000.
ION account of the increased
use of automobiles and improved
highways the number of passengers
and the amount of freight carried
by the company since 1920. have con-
tinually decreased, very materially
decreasing the revenues of the COM
pany received from the operation of
its street railroad.
tThe revenues from the railroad
under existing conditions are insult
ficient to meet the present costs of
operation and pay an adequate re-
turn upon a fair valuation of the
property of the company used in
connection with the maintenance
and operation of it's street railroad.
In fact, the return during the past
four months upon a fair valuation
of the property has been almost
negligible.
I'm order to receive sufficient
revenue to pay its operating expen-
ses, and a fair return upon the valu-
alton of its property, it is necessary
to increase its present rates of fare
from seven to ten cents"

INTEREST GROWING IN
IN c E0RG|AI

ATLANTA, March %. - The
growing interest in dairying IN
Georgia which, livestock men here
saw, is already resulting in an i'm
movement of dairy stock and in the
adding of dairy equipment on many
farms. has emphasized the neces-
sitv for suitable and ample pastur-
age for the dairy stock. Good pas
lures are a necessity if the cows
are to be given the chance they
should have to produce rich milk
adbundantly, according to Officials
Of the Georgia Department of Agrl-
culture.
The need for good pastures is
urged by state agricultural depart
ment officials in commenting OF
the Increased interest in dairying.
Pasturage is a feature of dairy
inc that should not be overlooked
in the opinion of experts of the
state department of agriculture
Cattle that are denied good grazing
ground are forced to nibble on such
grass as they can find, agriculture
department officials say, cannot be
expected to pay their way as vel
as COWS that are grazed in field
where the grass is suitable ant
plentiful, where there is goot
place for them. to stand under.
It is as necessary that dairy cows
should have good pasturage as It is
that they should have suitable
shelter from severe weather in the
winter time, department officials
Stated.
