How to Figure
Up Your Bonus

Ascertain number of days in
service between April 5, 1917,
and July 1, 1919.
After subtracting the first
sixty days, compute adjusted
service credit by figuring 81 for
each day of home service and
$1.25 for foreign.
The amount reached is limited,
however, to maximum OF $500
for those having no foreign serv-
ice and to 1926 for other.
If the credit is less than $50,
an immediate cash payment may
be applied for.
Otherwise. add to the credit 25
per cent of it and multiply the
result by 2.25. The answer will
be, roughly, the amount Of the
endowment insurance which will
be paid at the end of, twenty
years or to beneficiaries in event

increased fare with demand on the public
service commission that no more relief than is
absolutely necessary be granted.
This attitude of the city administration
was expressed by Taylor Groninger, corpora

asking for 7-cent fare with 1-cent transfer
and four tickets for quarter had been filed by
the car company.
''My attitude will be based entirely on the
report of Benjamin Perk, city budget expert,
which shows that the company needs depre-
citation reserve fund, " said Groninger. ''Any
relief granted should be temporarily and |

must revert to lower figure when relief is real
lied.
''The city is not satisfied with the ticket
proposition of four for 25-eents or sixteen for
81. We shall insist on seventeen tickets for 81,
which makes the fare slightly less than cents,
and slightly less than for the passenger who
transfers. This is lower than the present trans
fer fare"
Following filing of the car company S
petition for an increase in fare, opinion was
voiced by some citizens that it would be ad-
yisable to get comparative figures on the street
car business in other cities.

Gated that the company's case would
hinge largely on Perks report show
ing that approximately $500 900 is
needed annually in a depreciation

Previous Relief Inadequate'
The petition shows that while a
special committee on transportation
made recommendations May 10, 1922,
| calculated to give S249,O99 annual
revenue to the company, the sum real
iy amounted to only S45, 700, including
the owl car fare advance to 10 cents.
This committee comprised repre-
sentatives of the civic and labor or
CARNATIONS, business men and city
officials appointed by Mayor Shank.
/ With the present five-cent fare with
two-cent transfer for all passengers
more than five years of age "the COM
pany has been seriously retarded from

which the growing requirements OF
Indianapolis demand. as the company

petition sets out.
Emergency Exists
An emergency exists for immediate

urgent necessity for increasing reve-
nue. was pointed out"
At the council hearing sentiment
was evenly divided for and against
any financial relief for the car COM
pany. A majority Of city councilmen
have expressed the opinion that some
relief is necessary, although the coun-
ell refused to act officially on such a
resolution. Instead. it referred the
matter to Mayor Shank and the city
legal department.
The mayor has refused to take any
sides in the car fare boost problem.
although Taylor Groninger, corpora

the company in the case.
