ECONOMIES IN THE
TROLLEY BUSINESS

In the early days Of the trolley
companies it was common for them
to construct power generating
plants; nowadays many trolley
companies are saved the necessity
OF maintaining such equipment
through the purchase OF power
from the electric companies, at
least partly. Consequently, with
bought" electricity and with the
growing custom Of leasing rolling
stock about the most valuable"
thing remaining 10 the companies
are the franchises" or exclusive
rights to operate along some streets
and between certain points.
These franchises are diligently
safeguarded by the Public Utilities
! Commissions; infringement upon
/ them by motor bus drivers Is re-
garded contrary to public policy.
/ SO long as q trolley line gives serv-
! ice along the route OF such fran
chise and can make both ends
meet, or is willing TO continue
operating despite deficits, the fran
elise continues an exclusive right.
/ Although the Connecticut COM
pany. in giving up the Arch street
! line several years ago, indicated an
inclination to drop non-paying
lines, the policy since that time
has not been much developed In
the city, as 1t is known there are
several other non-paying lines be
Ing operated, with no probability
Of an early discontinuance except
possible change to buses,
In the old days investors would
have nothing to do with a trolley
company that lacked an alright
franchise 10 operate in commun-
lty: at the same time, many COM
panics furnished all their own
electricity and bought all their
rolling stock. The necessity for
heavy investment was much more
pronounced. Yet the franchises Of

Judge Reed and Arthur Sh0up
 Reappointed

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21. - The President this morning nominated three judges, two United States attorneys and one United States marshal for Alaska.
 The judges are Thomas M. Reed for First Judicial division; Lomen for the Second division; and Ritch- ie for the Third division.
 Arthur G. Shoup is named US. district attorney for the First di- vision, and William Fred Harrison for the Second division.
 Harvey Sullivan is named US. marshal for the Third division.
 The judgeship in the Fourth di- vision and the United States attor- neyship there yet remain to be filled. Likewise the position of col lector of customs for the whole territory.
 Somewhat of a fight has been started on the confirmation of Albert A. White for United States marshal in the First Division. It is anticipated that those who at tempted to block the nomination of Judges Reed and Ritchie and of MT. Shoup will continue their fight as far as possible with the Senate, but it has been predicted by one influ- ential senator that the confirma- tions will be made within a short time

He is married and has a family. His father is one of the pi- oneers of the Third division and is still in business there.
