Maximum deficit will come in 1932, when it will be $5,157,000. City's profit in 1907, year of ex piration of lease, will be $2,150,000. Assuming P. R. T. is not relieved of various payments, fixed under 1907 contract, city will receive first return in 1930. Greatest annual deficit on this basis would be $4,425,000 fiom 1925 to 1932 inclusive. Cost of nn independent operator to equip high-speed system for initial operation would be S1G, 088.000, Cost during first eleven years I from operation of first lino would be $21,211,000, or $8,585,000 less than equipment cost with P.

Transit Director Tvv tiling's report on the to Ma, or Smith and Councils on ThurFdav of next week will contnln estimates setting forth that under the terms of the lease as It now- Is dr.iflid the clt will face an annual deficit from the operation of the high-speed system which must be met either bv a ta Increase or a fare increase up to the jcu l5 This estimate whier the Directors re port states Is based upon "conservative," computations as to the returns from the sstem, assumes that the entire highspeed sjstem, Including the Chestnut htreet sub way, will be constructed and that It will be operated by the P.

Tho pessimistic figures advanced b Ill rector Twining are gieatlv nt variance with tho optimistic future seen by Ellis Ames Ballard, chief of counsel for the Itapld Transit Companj. in his speech Saturday at the City Club .Mr Ballard bastd his estimates upon the aitual growth In re ceipts during tho last few years Director Twining It Is understood did lint take this growth Into consideration, holding th-it recent Increases In passenger receipts were due to war conditions, which could not continue.

De duct from this $1,000,000 to cover Interest nnd equipment' cost, which Is not now a charge, and $1,GOO,000 for our dividend, and there will still remain 12.000,000 sur plus, of which the city will get $1,500,000, or nn Interest return ot lour per ran $15,000,000 "All outlook such as this need give the city no concern If tho company does no better than n four per cent Increase, which means that the city will get no better than n two per cent Increase In population, there could not possibly In 1923 be a deficit of Interest and sinking fund cnarges iu. mc cltv to meet out of Its general fund greator than $1000 000 m $1,500,000" .MAXIMUM DEI'ICIT I93i I ho tables in the report show that accord ing to tho Director's estimates the maxi mum jearlv deficit will occur In tho year 19.12, when It will reach the grand total of $5,157,000 In 1955, the first ,ear Director Twining finds that the city will icalliso a profit from the s,stem, the city's share of the net surplus will be $."!8,000, according to the computations From that time It will Increase gradually until In 19C7, the jeir of tho termination of the leise, the cltv s profit from the high speed s,stem will bo $2,150,000. From the point of operation alone and assuming that the city is not required to surrender the pajmtnts from the Transit Companj, fixed under the terms of the 1907 contract, tho city, in cording to the Director's estimates would realize a profit first In the jear 1950, when It would be $19 000 I'pon this basis the gre-itest annual defi cit would be $4,425,000. and this would re mnlu the s.imo annually between tho 'years 1925 nnd 1912 Inclusive The tiblts containing these various esti mated results of P It T. operation the Dim tor will submit to the Public Service Commission today The commission has indicated that It will tnkn no action upon tho pending applications' for certificates of public convenience until It has at Its ills posil additional data Although thu Director origlnall did not intend to mike these- figures public until his lepoit icnched the Major and Councils, Ire deteriiiiiitd to submit the operation tables to the viiiumlssloii nt once in the hope that It would ee fit to grant tho deslicd cer tlflutis without futther de-lav Tho Director also will submit to the com mission todav estllnntes showing the cost to an iudi pendent opet.ttor to equip thevurirus units of tho high-speed svstom Moie than i week ago the Commission received from the Transit Department estimates showing tho cost to the Philadelphia Rnpld Trnn-slt Company to equip the lines That estimate ami tho one submitted toda, will be con sidered togi titer and It Is expected that u public heailng will be called In order to have the department explain in detail the signHlcince of the vurlous tables.

R T. op. cratlon During the first eleven years of operation or first lino, or up to 1930, the equipment cost to an Independent operator would total $21,241,000 as ngalnst $29,82B,000 with the transit company as the operator, the Di rector estimate."-. Translated Into terms of service to the riding public, the Director estimates that under an Independent operator with the rid ers on the high-speed system paying an other fare to change to the surface lines, the traffic would be so much lighter that $8 585 000 worth less equipment will be needed to meet tho demands durlnty the Hist eleven jears until 1930.
