July operating revenues OF
$2,626,999 were up 10 per cent
from $2,450,582 in July last
year, due in part to a transit
fare increase last April and also
to an increase in the company's
chartered bus revenues. Reve-
nue. transit passengers totaling
11,006,512 were up l.6 per cent
from 10,829,410 in July last
year.
Seven months operating
revenues of $17,797,369 were
up 81 per cent from SIT ,430 1882
a year earlier, also due to
higher fares and more revenues
from chartered buses. Seven
months passengers totaled IT,
607, 726. drop of 0.8 per cent
from 78,227,138 in the same
period last year.
Both July and seven months
depreciation charges were up
sharply from a year ago. The
company's large purchases of
new buses in the last year was
the biggest single factor. The
new vehicles replaced old buses
on which depreciation had
largely run out.
, A July depreciation allow
ance of $232,047 was up 22.5
per cent from $189,483 a year
ago. Seven months deprecia-
ton amounted to 1882, 492, a
jump of 1853 per cent from
$1,302,76 a year ago.
Offsetting the larger depre-
citation allowances partially
was the fact that the COM
pany no longer is permitted to
charge something like 81 mil
Han a year for track removal
costs. This was eliminated in
the April rate decision. In
contrast to no allowance for
this purpose in July, a charge
Of $S7,016 was allowed in July
last year. For seven months a
year ago, this charge amounted
to S609.1l4,

Why He Said No

President Grover Cleveland, February l6, 1887, made
the following statement to Congress, which is truly classic
Where such today in government? He made this
comment
Il return without my approval House bill No 10203
entitled An act to enable the Commissioner Of Agriculture
to make eeal distribution of seeds in The droughtstrck-
counties Of eXas and making oration (of Sl0
0O0) therefore,.
1T is represented that long continued and extensive
drought has existed in certain portions Of the State of eXas
utng in failure of crops and consequent distress and
desttuton.
Though there has been difference in statements
concerning the extent of the peoples needs in the localities
thus affected there to be doubt that there has
existed condition calling for relief; and willing to be-
licve that Notwithstanding the aid already furnished do
of seed grain the farmers located in this region to
enable to put crops would to avert con-
tnuance return of an unfortunate blight.
And yet feel obliged to withhold my approval of the
PLAN as proposed by this bill, to indulge benevolent and
charitable sentiment through the appropriation of public
funds for that purpose.
Il can find warrant for such appropriation in the
Constitution and not believe that the power and duty
the General Government ought to be extended to relief
