Lines are being rehabilitated, he de clared, wherever operated as a local community enterprise for the public good. "Moat of our -street railway troubles conic from the old Idea that its principal reason for existence was to satisfy the financial, political and literal 'joy riders'," he asserted. "The street railway needs service at cost, with the sliding scale of fares anil poifibly wages as related to div- idcndi the local board of control with all books open to car riders and employe alike, showing the results of the local operating unit; customer owncrauip; increased stock equity; gradual amortization of debt bv re ducing obligations at maturity, in stead ;if refunding with an increase.
