economies could be made.
Roberts and Hanna engaged in
heated passage over the, relief asked
by the company in the merger plan
from paying the salaries Of crossing
policemen and taxes for paving.
Roberts used the term "a con-
tribution from the public" in re-
ferring to this relief plan. under
which terms the cost Of policing and
paving would he borne by District
taxpayers. Hanna objected to the
contribution designation, insisting
that the public always should nave
paid for these necessities.
To Cost Public S180.000
Roberts brought out that the com
pany offers A saving TO the puolic
Of about $4,000 annually in free

ouisitor made the point that this
would mean a net charge OF $780,

Earlier in the hearing. questioned
by Fleharty, Hanna stated that he
was willing to go to the commission
without any fixed rated OF return
or valuation and allow the commits
sion to decide what was fair.
He qualified this statement, how
ever, by saying that he, spoke only
for himself, and that the'matter had
never been considered by the stock
holders of the company.
He declared that Z per cent was
not only "a reasonable rate of re-
turn, but the lowest reasonable rate
of return the commission can fix"

which MIR. Sinclair knew. He did not

turned the $S5 900 securities which l
had caused to be delivered to him.
Hays Defends Gifts
This last transaction had not
taken place when testified before
this committee in 1924 that, accord
ing to my recollection, Mr.. Sinclair's
contribution in making up the deficit
did not exceed $4,000. But after
that time, for the reasons already
mentioned. he assumed the $S5 600,
which I had preferred to make good

be reimbursed in full"
HAYS defended the gifts from Sim
clair. He said the bonds given him
by Sinclair may or may not have
been originally in the possession of
the Continental Trading Company"
In March 1924 Hays told Of re.

in bonds, but on the contrary. said
he believed it had been in cash.

Hot Fight on in Herald's Big Auto Race
Sales Club Subscription Drive the Talk of Sheridan Coun
ty Right Now-You Can't Lose in This Race

Herald, the official paper of Sheridan
county That is all there is to it.
Subscriptions get votes and votes win
the prizes.
No one at the present time has a

various club members, OF for that
matter, AN ENTIRELY NEW MEM
BIER, who at the present time has
no votes at ALL would change the en-
tire complexion of the affair and
furnish a new leader in the race. In
fact, few long-term subscriptions
taken from unexpected sources might
be the very ones to make you winner
Ct the grand capital prize.
Race Reaching an Acute Stage
With but two weeks left in which
to turn in subscriptions and secure
the maximum number of votes there
on, and with but five more weeks be-
fore the race finally comes to close,
interest in the contest intensifies.
Each club member realizes that the
big Essex sedan, stupendous in value,
lies practically within their grasp,
either to claim for their very own or
to forfeit to some more aggressive
opponent during the next few weeks,
depending to great extent upon the
efforts put forth now while the high
schedule of votes is in effect.
If you wait for single moment,
if you weaken for single day, or if
you overlook one opportunity to bet
