At sight of the police- nmn he ran, heedless of Beck’s com mand to halt.

It is understood that Dr. Rader will pay ularly the Southeast. This was aug mented by unusual weather conditions in the early part of the year, affect ing the later citrus fruit and spring vegetable shipments, and by unpre- cedentedly heavy rains and storms during August and September, hf which practically the entire South eastern section of the country was more or less affected. Passenger revenue showed a decrease largly as the result of bus comptition and the more extended use of private automo biles. Some of the decrease is ac counted for by the discontinuance of ui.remunerative passenger train ser vice. The company is operating motor buses on a few selected routes, and the management is making studie’s with a view of determining the advis ability of extending such service. Gross revenues decreases $4,544,932 or 7.4 per cent in 1928 compared with the preceding year. Operating expen ses were reduced $3,970,351 or 8.5 per cent and equipment and joint facility rents were reduced $197,918 or 213 pel cent. As the result of improved operating methods, careful supervis ion of all expenditures and costs and the elimination of unproductive over head expense, the net railway operat ing income decreased only $333,342 or .3.2 per cent. Net income before aiijustment bond interest amounted with some special emphasis on the work of the organization in Wilming ton.
