Random Notes

We hope to be able to report in the
near future that the public roads are
being given some attention. Night dri7
ing is becoming hazardous through the
deep cuts in the roads. The drains are
closed and overgrown with bush.
As long as this conditions obtains the
the roads would gradually grow worse
and 10 some places become impossible.
In appropriating money for road re.
pairs the unusual rainfall was not an lei
pated and therefore the appropriation
was far too inadequate. Whether the
money will be made available by addition
al money bill to the budget or by allot
ments from funds under the Governors
control is not known. but the evil needs
immediate remedy.

While both buying and selling was
virtually suspended for awhile, many

TRANSIT EXPENSES
SHOW RAPID RISE.
Operating Costs More Than
Offset Substantial Gain
in Passengers.
BY EDWARD C. STONE.

Sharp increases in operating ex-
penses overshadowed a substantial
gain in operating revenue. forcing the
Capital Transit Co. to get away to
bad start in January, according to
the first report for this year, filed with
the Public Utilities Commission. The
poor showing came in spite of an
increase of more than 100000 reve-
nue. passengers.
The company reported a net deficit
of 11.796.77 as against net income
of $35,323.95 In January, 1885. or
falling off in earnings of $47,120.70,
the report says. Revenue passengers
in January totaled l3,382,849 against
a total of 12,292,439 in January
year ago, an increase in street car
and bus riders of 1,379,070, or almost
8 per cent.
Operating revenues in the first
month of 1886 totaled S834,017.23,
an increase of $80,675.74, or 10.7 per
cent; and one of the best revenue
gains in many months. Operating
expenses. however, went up even
faster, amounting to S662, ,295.70. an
Taxes also increased calling for
$52,062.10, or Sl,89560 more than in
January, 1885, while depreciation
jumped to $8l ,268.74 as compared with
$50,549.l0 last year, an increase of
$30,71964, or 60 per cent. Total
operating expenses, taxes and depre-
citation amounted to $795, ,626.54, up

Incorporating income was re-
ported off $4,000 from last year,
leaving gross revenues at $4,000 VS..
$4,000 year ago. drop of $4,000
or SO per cent. Deductions from gross
for bond interest required S54,876.56,
as compared with S58,155.04.
The report shows an increase of
$4,000 in the item covering the wage
bill of conductors and motormen, and
also a notable increase in the money
required for bus drivers. These and
other larger expense items, together
with the increase of over $4,000 in
depreciation, account for the red fig
ures land explain the lack of profits
despite the splendid increase in pas
senger traffic.
Snow bills have made a heavy in
road into Capital Transit expenses
this Winter. Snow removal in Janu-
airy cost the company about $4,000,
an expense which will disappear as
warm weather approaches. Without
this charge, the company would not
have gone into the red

By FRANK "BUCK" O'NEILL

One of the. American Leagues
outstanding third basemen is
playing right field, and unless re-
proved will remain there for the
rest Of the season. OF course the
wide world knows that Werber
does not belong in right field, or
any other outfield post, any more
than Smead Jolley belongs on an
all,star infield. But that is not
for the conductor Of this space to
decide.
Werber flashed the sign to the
wide world that he doesn't belong
in the outfield in the first inning
Of yesterdays conflict. He caught
a fly ball hit by Carl Reynolds,
and threw toward the plate by
way of heading off Joe Kuhel. He
did not throw to the plate, nor
anywhere near it.

The ball hung and died in the
center of the diamond. Werber'S
speed doubtless equipS him to
cover ground, but speed is not
the sole essential of outfielding.
This Shunting of Werber to the
outer gardens may be one of the
initial steps in a move that will
turn the Boston Red Sox from a
buying club into a seller. There
are several clubs in the American
League that would welcome Wer-
Der into it's organization, and none
of these more than the Washing
ton club.
Werber can play shortStop well

Holm Jarrett she is ineligible to
participate in swimming events in
Europe.
News Of her suspension from
amateur events on the continent
was brought to Mrs. Jarrett by
DR.. Donach, secretary of the I. A.
A. F.
According to DR.. Donach, he
acted after receiving the following
letter from Brundage:
II am reporting to the United
States that Mrs. Eleanor Holm
Jarrett violated the rules of the
A. A. A., and therefore is I'M
certified for further competition
before the question has been
passed upon by the respective
A. A. A. committees.
"She is therefore not eligible
for European competitions at
this time and European coun.
tries should be SO notified"
Pressed for explanation, DR..
Donach said Mrs. Jarrett had been
barred on the grounds she is
"capitalizing upon her athletic
fame by writing"
The swimmer received the news
at the swimming stadium. She
promptly characterized Brundage'S
action as "vindictive," pointing
out she has received no money for
anything.
She charged the I. A. A. F. acted
without even making an effort
to examine Brundage'S charges
and gave her no chance to appear
and make an explanation.
Mrs. Jarrett declared the official
handbook of sports regulations
defining violations of amateur
rules does not include writing, al
though the United States has a
special rule against writing on a
sport in which the author is
actually competing. Mrs. Jarrett
obviously is not competing in the
Olympics.
