eight months of 1925 amounts to s37.-
1884, a compilation of monthly re-
ports filed with the Public Utilities
Commission reveals. The sum total
Is diminished by losses suffered in op.

cation months which are always lean
periods for mass transportation con
Germs.
A material monetary setback was
incurred during August when the
company established a deficit of S3,-
291.15, a loss more pronounced than
the 1,820.98 'in red" shown the previ-
GUS month. These two periods, how
ever, are the only months of the pres
ent calendar year that failed to return
a profit.
Total operating revenues of the
utility for August amounted to S38,305
as against operating expenses of S40,-
564. Non operating income amounted
to S199.23. and deductions from the
gross aggregated 81 1,231.69. A service
OF AZ buses was maintained during the
month, operating I26,S57 live miles
which was shortening of about % 900
miles over the previous month.

totaled 1886 less than the preceding
month and numbered only 396. .125. OF
this number 206, ,106 paid 10 cents for

My Dear Mr.. Adams:
Greetings and congratulations from

The movement has grown remarkably in
The two years OF its naturalization. Pre-
vlouSly, only $50 cities had ever held a

simultaneous COMMUNICATIVE ObServan-
ces. So favorable was the public res
ponse that this years event viii far
eclipse the previous one. On April 70
there were 492 places which mad notified
this Committee OF their intention 10 por-
tIcIpaLe. Your community Is thus a part
- l. a ndllOll- " lux CClGbI dllOD lIldl, lDCluU-
ing the partial obsel VanceS, will unduubt-
eddy enlist 1000 cities aud towns.
Doubtless the increasing team work
evidenced in your Music week prepara
lions viii make Ii easier each year not
only to arrange the Music Week, but TO
carry on various needed civic mu-
SIC activities. Our vision Of the flu
tune Music Week is thar II shall be a
rather informal ana Spontaneous obser-
vance IN which each group Shall take
pare without Intensive stimulus from q
central committee.
Your committee is doubtless making
it a point not only to bring music 10 the
people during Music Week, bu, to bring
the people to The music thal is offered.
With appreciation OF The achievements
Of your committee and with good wishes
for permanent results beneficial 10 your
community, l am
Very truly yours,
