EARNINGS SHOULD BE
1920 OF ITS ASSETS

Two of three witnesses for the Clai-
borne-Annapolis Ferry Company tes-
titled that the company's rate of earn
ings should be at least ten per cent
of fair evaluation of the company's
assets.
w. B. Allnut and Louis Zimmer-
man, bankers, testified as to the rate
of return at a Public Service Com
mission hearing on the rates and fl
nancial affairs of the ferry concern.
Mr.. Allnut, Mr.. Zimmerman and
John c. Legg, Jr., another banker,
were called by Philip B. Perlman,
company attorney to testify as to
what earnings the company should
make to attract investment capital.
Mr.. Legg testified that in his opin-
ion the ferry service was not an oper-
alton which would attract investment
capital.
The Peoples Counsel, objected to
the testimony of the three on the
ground that they were not qualified
as experts and had not examined the
company's records. The objections
were joverruled.
The proceedings were adjourned

ing counsel by April 2. The commits
sion then will decide whether oral ar
