investigate the validity OF the claims
of the companies which involve pos
sihle rate increases above the 81 per

ordered that the present center trolley
poles be removed and replaced with
ornamental poles at the sides of the

of the underground conduit system

progress had been made. toward
an understanding of the problems

Both sides admitted, however
that the two groups are no nearer
