Mr. Oaffney stated before Council last Tuesday, when his resolution to have the city join in the business men's fight ngnlnst the rentals was defeated, thnt he was going to make public his re-miis for voting for the resolution. Mr. (laffney's position Is that the fare ipiestlon will never bv satlsfai'lorilv settled until the "back-breaking" re.it- nls piiul to the underlying companies are reduced.

The company, by its own state ment, is absolutely incapable of bor rowing another cent with proper se curity, nnd how can you expect the neonle to tnke ill) a loan w-'lch is finan cially unjustified?

Then again people a few years ago did not have the comforts that they Imvo today and consequently their winters only seemed more eevcrc, "Without modern houses and steam and hot water bent, and with probably -FMfc : WM , srQ only one or two rooms beatable at a time, cold weather saemed more rigor ous than it in now.

They were 120 per cent on passenger, milk and excess bnggagc charges and CO per cent on rntes for sleeping nnd parlor car space. In tho case of freight rates, however, tho cwriers will nsk the states to ad vance these tariffs to correspond with the increases granted by the federal commission for the territory in which the state is located. The interstate in creases authorized aro 40 per cent in eastern territory ; 25 in southern nnd Mountain -Pacific territory nnd 35 in western territory. The first tusk of the railroads, it was announced here yesterday, will be the rehabilitation of their lines. The railroads, their representatives in Washington said, hope to be able to start at once placing orders for 10,000 freight cars, 2000 locomotives nnd 11000 passenger coaches to cost approxi mately SO.000.000,000, fixed by the ronds as the minimum equipment thnt Is necessary to place them once more upon a stable operating basis. Iu announcing that the applications for Intrastate advances would be made to the state commissions, Alfred P. Thorn, general counsel of the Associa tion of Hallway Executives, said tlienc Increases would not enlarge the gross income io do received ny me ronds un der the decision of the Federal Com mission, because in presenting their case the carriers had based their est! mates on corresponding Intrastate state rate advances. The railway executives have not eal cuiateil tlie total inci eased revenue to tie derived fiom the rate advances, but from their estimates presented to the commission at the public hearing the sum hos been unofficially approximated nt $l.f00.000.000. The commlsiinn's decision is Intended to so fix rutes as to give the ronds the (I per cent return nn their aggregate value permitted by the transportation act. Coastwise and inland steamship com panies nnn eiecine railway lines nre permitted under tlie Interstate Com merce Commission's decision lo rnlse only freight rntes. Nothing wns said by the commission as to passenger rates on the steamboat lines, but tlie decision did say specifically that the freight rute increase granted electric railway lines was "not to De construed as an ex pression of disapproval of increases, made or proposed in the regular man ner, In tho passenger fares of electric lines." While the commission authorizes sep arate freight rate increases to the rail roads in the four separate territories, tho Increase on freight moving from one territory Into another will be 3.T 1-8 per cent. bo sold to be serious.
