OTHER CITIES WATCHED
Company Makes Plans Guided
by Results Obtained in
Various Towns
The Philadelphia Ttnphl Transit Com
pany is having ilntn prepared in nutir-i -pntinu
of an eventual increase in fnrcs.
This was shown in n statement is
sued this nfternoon by Thomas 10. Mit
ten, the president.
The statement follows :
'.'In reply to the many rumors ns to
the company's intention in the matter
of increased fares, no application to the
Public Service Commission has been
made or is contemplated in the near
future.
"It will, of rourse. he necessary to
secure greater revenue to meet the con
stantly increasing cost of wages and
material, and In order that intelligent
action may he taken when the emer
gency here arises, a careful record is
being made of the results secured from
the various experiments conducted in
other cities."
II. G. Tiilley, an assistant to Mr.
Mitten, and through whom the .state
ment was issued, declared that, while
the president's statement need not be
amplified, as it covered the situation, it
must be mnde plain that for n long
time It has been evident that a fare in
crease must be provided for at some
time: that other cities have found such
increases inevitable, and that Philadel
phia would probably see such measures
taken In due time.

Shortly after midnight Harrington,
the police say, pulled down the tire

Waverly Company Wins
Announcement that the Public Serv
ice Commission has granted the. AVnv
erly. Sayre and Athens Traction Com
pany the right to charge a seven-cent
, fnre makes it nppear rcasouubly cer
tain that an application for n rise in
fares by the P. It. T. would receive
serious consideration.
In his' opinion, allowing the Waverly,
Sayre and Athens Traction Company to
charge passengers seven cents for a ride
on its cars, Chnirmnn W. D. II. Ainey,
of the Public Service Commission, holds:
"If.the public is to be adequately served
railways must be permitted to earn out
of imposed rates of fare revenues large
enough in amount to pay operating
costs n fair return, nnd to provide for
the maintenance of the property, pro
vided always that tho rates imposed
are not unjust nnd unreasonable."
A recent report of the Philadelphia
Jtapld Transit Company, covering the
operations of the company for the six
months ended June .10 last, showed that
in that period it bad made gross earn
ings of $17,174,P0.", nn increase of $1',.
070,085, or close to 14 per cent, and a
surplus after expenses nnd fixed charges
of $870,000 against $701,071) the previ
ous year, thus covering its semiannual
dividend by over $120,000.
