ROAD GIVEN AT HEARING Brief Shown by Testimony Belore | Interstate Gommerce Commission | A definite and constructive policy | has been consistently followed during | the past several yeara by the New Haven. This was for the particuiar purpose of giving the public the best service possible; also of putting its house in order before proceeding with a request for the turther adjustment in rates or divisions which are necos- sary to establish credit. Its trauspor- tation system exclusively serves ap- proximately three million four hun. dred thousand people in Southern New England, 3 1-4 per cent. of the population of the United States. Dur- ing these several years industry has prospered. Transportation furnished has increased more than one-third. Credit of the system is essential to its continued improvement, which in turn is a necessity to the prosperity of the territory it serves. Federal Control. The New Haven System entered federal control with a test period sur- plus of approximately $4,600,000 per annum, and an operating ratio in 1917 of 72 per cent. After federal control it finds on the basis of all ac- counts combined, but excluding gov- ernment guarantees, a deficit of ap- proximately $28,000,000 for tha ycar 1920, and an operating ratio for Sep- tember, October and November aver- aging 91.4 per cent. Financial Statement. As the information preparatory to the rate case, Interstate Commerce commission Ex Parte 74, indicated that the inclusion of the New Haven in tha Eastern Region would benefit tha whole approximately $15.609,- 000, but, the New Haven would e short this amount in earning 6 per cent. on its property investment ac- count, negotiations for increased divi- slons have been under wa siuca April, 1920. If the New Haven had recetved through divisions ‘or ‘other- wise the approximate amount of $15,- 600,000, ‘and if the changes in -osts and revenues subseéquent to thé appli- cation for the inereage in rates haa not occurred, it would have over $6,- 000,000 surplus par annum under or- dinary trafic. On'the contrary, pres- ent results show deficits of. $733,7¢3 for September; $1,257,487 for Octo- ber; $1,668,0805 for November: and an estimated deficit of $17,342,616 tor the year ending September 1, 1921. Present information from the Bu- reau of Valuation indicates that the property investment account will be exceeded over $120,000,000. If the return - was to be based on valuation, instead of property investment ac- count, the amount short of 6 per cent. would approximate §22,800,000, in- stead of $15,600,000. Difficulties, In explanation of the cause of the greater difficulties of the New Haven. and in comparison. with roads west: Cost of transportation of fuel ove: foreign car- riers han increased, due to increases in rates which are in their be- half 5 less amount resulti total from the rate ad- vances, because they were greater on freight: New Haven trafie di- vided about 50-50; roads west averaged 75 per cont. freight, 25 per cent. passenger Effect ot increases in fuel, materials and labor; the increase for that portion o' labor only, covering the greater number of employes required for performance of distri- butive and service $3.050,000 in 7,300,000 9,000,000 $19,350,000 In pursuance of (ts constructive | programm during the past several years, the following results have been obtained: $19.000,000 Expended. Approximately $49,000,000 have been expended on capital account, not including approximately $20,000,- 000 for equipment which has been recetved under trust on which pay- ments of $6.800,000 have been made. These Improvements have enabled a transportation record for two years, I"hl(‘h except for period of strikes | ana weather adversity, would have been without necessity for general embargoes. Progressively increasing traffic of 35 per cent more in ton miles and 36 per cent in passengers one mile, has been handled with an actual de- crease approximating 6 per cent in freight and passenger train miles, and a decreasing trend in man hou an offective exemplification of operating economy. If thé price levels of a few years | ago could have been retained, the benefits from increased traffic, im- provements to the property, operating economy, and rates advanced by the company, would have justified pres- ent consideration of a dividend. If, in addition, the mileage basis for the use of freight cars, which was in ef- fect when present divisions were es- tablished, had not been subsequently replaced by per diem. the property would now be on a dividend basis. Returns from the hureau of valua- tion are now tentatively available. There has been careful attention to the readjustment of service and work- | ing methods, pursuant to the prac- tices established under federal con- trol. DATAIS | [ z Beaut)".

The result of the percentage method of advancing rates and of a common | basis affecting the increase of oper- atinz expenses, bears far more heav- ily on a terminal road unless the add- ed revenues are equitably divided with respect to added costs. Longer aver- age hauls, heavier trains, and a less | proportion on the Ton mile basis of | junction, yard and station service pro- duce revenue units rapidly on which rate advances apply. Distributing train service produces revenue units slowly; excess of junctions, yards and stations produce no revenue units; but on the contrary, they all aggregate operating costs with great rapidity and. in a disproportionately large amount.

Varied Program. The program included speaking, a | i musical entertainment, buffet lunch and dancing, the affair lasting until midnight. ‘The speaker of the eve- ning was Rev. John L. Davis, pastor of Trinity M. E. church, who dwelt on the life of Lincoln. He laid em- | phasis on Lincoln’s broadmindedness {and said that the people today are ‘lt?o narrow and partisan in their views on religion, industry, etc. He declared that if he had his way all Catholics would be forced to read Protestant literature and study Pro- testantism and all Protestants would {and study Catholicism. By the samc token he would make employers read the most rabid socialist magazines and newspapers he could procure and he would make the working man read “Iron Age” and other publications which reflect the view of the employ- er. Rev. Dr. Davis delivered a very interesting talk and at its conclusion he was extended a rising vote of i thanks. Telegram From Noble. Several boxes of Havana cigars were received from H. C.
