whatever the increase may be it will be added to the Jamestown Street Railway Company's share.

"It is further agreed that the foregoing transfer arrangements and division of rates shall continue while the rates remain as fixed in this proceeding."

It also was conceded on the hearing that the various conferences and the newspaper accounts thereof had given so much publicity that short notice would not be objected to.

Following are tabulations, made up from the company's reports, showing the need of additional revenue. There is also an estimate showing the expected gain from the proposed increase.

JAMESTOWN STREET RAILWAY COMPANY

Statement of Estimated Passengers Carried and Estimated Revenue Resulting from Increase in Passenger Fares; 7 Cents Cash Fare; 20 Tickets $1; 10 Tickets 50 Cents; Year Ended December 31, 1918.

NUMBER OF PASSENGER FARES COLLECTED

Estimated passenger revenue per year, based on estimated passengers carried as per columns d and

and revised rates as per heading

The need of additional revenue is apparent from the above figures. The first and second quarters of 1919 show the deficit to be decreasing but not to have disappeared.

The figures for the second quarter are from a preliminary report from the company's auditor and are subject to possible modification.

The necessity for the increase being shown and the transfer privilege being continued, the Jamestown Street Railway Company should be permitted to put its proposed schedule of rates into effect and may do so on three days' notice.

An order has been made accordingly.

All concur.

In accordance with the foregoing opinion, the Commission on the same day made the following order:
