of John H. Hanna, president Of
the Capital Transit Company, the
Public Utilities Commission today
decided to reconsider several of
the items contained in its order
for $1,560,000 street car track re-
construction work.
However, members of the COM
mission pointed out, they would
not accede to the requests Of the

cancelled completely or extensively
modified.

by Mr.. Hanna that the repair pro-
gram was physically impossible be-
cause of lack of materials and
equipment. He implied that pres
sure would be placed on the tran
sit company to complete the work
ordered by the end of this year
unless company officials could
prove that some Of the contro-
versial issues could be held in
allowance,
