Time. stan Correspondent

HARBOR BEACH, June 28.-
This towns No. / citizen. Associate
Justice Frank Murphy. is home
for an unprecedented vacation in
June. and Harbor Beach's 1000
citizens are agog.
Arrival of the Supreme Court
justice so early in the season
caused considerable comment, and
now all the town is well aware he
has been receiving a barrage OF
kilograms and telephone calls from
Washington.
Well, they know about the tele-
phone calls. for there has never
been a telephone installed in the
old Murphy homestead here.
James Murphy. the lawyer
father. would never permit one OF
the instruments in the big white
house on Main street.
The Murphy boys have continued
the tradition as a matter OF senti-
ment.
So the Washington telephone
calls all come over the booth tele-
phone in the Wilson House. across
the street,

Operations Separated

Operations Separated
For the purpose Of his survey
Professor Worley made complete
separation OF the street car and
bus operations and found that
street cars were mourning terrific
losses and buses were earning a
juicy profit.
A completely new set OF figures
for the whole system was obtained
by applying the item OF "deprecia'
ton 10 the various operations.
At the present time the DSR
keeps all OF its equipment on the
books at full purchase price re-
gardless OF its age, condition OF
usefulness and then writes II OIL
completely when IL is retired.
BY applying the depreciation
item Professor Worley uncovered
TO his own satisfaction that recent
profit statements of the DSR are
grossly in error and. also that the
street car end OF the business is a
dismal failure.
THE continuing annual losses
from street car operations dur
ing recent years II matter Of
special importance" the report
says.
"For the years ending June
80. 1888, 1899 and 1910. they
have averaged nearly Sl,250.0 900
per year. That these losses were
occurring IL something which
Was not unknown. That they will
continue under the present pro-
gram of operation seems self
evident.
Time to Change
'In light OF the above and the
present situation. the time has
arrived when steps must be
taken TO correct the condition
which can only be done through
a modified operating program"
e Professor Worley does not re-
commend what steps should be
taken 10 correct these losses.
However, he lists Is possible
changes in operations, such as new
types OF equipment, routes, fares,
etc, which he says should receive
serious study Then those that APP
pear acceptable should be tried
out on small areas OF the city as
experiments. he adds.
"Such large annual losses be-
come a matter Of prime import
ance and special attention IL
called thereto for. II continued.
the financial integrity Of the
property N ieepaFdized,. the re-
port says.
The report examines the cur
rent years operations up TO May
| and estimates that AZ the end
OF the fiscal year. July l, there
will be surplus OF S566, 900 for
the year that can be used for
working capital or for new plant
and equipment.
However. the report produces
further evidence 10 show that this
sum will probably evaporate
quickly.
Fixed charges pensions and
debt servicel are up S555.000 next
fiscal year over the current fiscal
year and the management is
further contemplating spending
over 100000 for new bus garages.
In addition there has been a
sharp increase in the price OF
gasoline
The Worley report makes no
mention of the fact that the coach
and street car operators arc now
for l0-cent an hour in
crease in an arbitration before
Federal Judge Frank A. Picard.
II this increase was granted il
would cost the system over 81 ,000,-
900 year above present operating
costs. Further increased costs will
be incurred through large in
creases which have already been
offered the office workers and
maintenance men.
An examination of tho physical
equipment of the DSR shows a
total investment of S4S. $4,000 in
street car equipment and only &c.
$4,000 in bus equipment.

Town KnoWs Quickly

When there Is long distance
call for the justice 1t is not five
minutes before half the town
knows who is telephoning and
speculation runs wild as TO just
why.
RumorS from Washington for
som etime have indicated the JUS
tice might resign his Supreme
Court post TO go to the Philippines
because of the acute situation in
the Far East, which is complicated
by President Emanuel Quezon's i'll
health. Fuel was added to that
.nor because il is known in
lshington that the justice has
Tor six weeks been working until
late every night on the Far East
problem. The justice has denied
stoutly that he will return TO the
islands.

The Lions will probably be as

with Gle Elurtq getting one position
and Ellensburg getting the other
one. In the gtiard slots, Perotti. the
