Todd aaid it was his recollection a mistake had been made in the Indianajeiiis Traction and Terminal Company buying the land. Instead of the T H , I & E Company, and the transfer to Appel and from Appei was for the purpose
of correcting the error As to Special Work.
Ashby undertook to show that the company, at the time It made its Inventory for the public aervl^p commi*sion. had actually gone out and bought much new special work to take the place of old special work worn out, y^t the company had placed the old In at practically 100 per cent and also had Included in the inventory a value for the new’ special work Todd said the ■ pedal work that might he replaced could be uaed some place else The special work had been put in the Inventory at stock prices.

Todd Explains.
Todd explained that when the Indianapolis Traction and Terminal Company reconstructs track, for example. It charges to construction whatever the cost of the new type exceeds the estimated value of the existing property If the type Is little changed the charge Is to maintenance and not to construction Making a single track over into a double would be charged to construction in so far as the total cost exceeded the estimated value of the old single track line, it was explained Ashby said he considered the matter important, heeause b has a hearing on the property on which is baaed the rental payments by the 1.

lete?"
“It is not," answered Todd. "We have one of the best equipped lines in the country." "Would you make no change in your rolling stock?” "No, except possibly to add pay-as-you-enter improvements, and that's a questionable feature.” In answer to Ashbv, Todd said: “We couldn't handle trailers here satisfactorily.” They would slow up the schedule, he said, and would be difficult to handle. Cars Bought in 1888. It came out that fifty-two cars bought In 1888 and reconstructed in 1917 had been put In the Inventory at 2236,000. Todd said if they were rebuilt cars they were more valuable than they were when new. Ashby raised a question as to the need of the Traction Terminal station for the local street railway system Todd said It was used for a loop during the recent Labor day parade. Ashby remarked that a $3,000,000 property was not necessary for a loop. The Traction Terminal office building Is used for the offices of both the Indianapolis Traction and Terminal Company and the Terre Haute. Indianapolis & Eastern Traction Company, which holds all the stock of the former except five director shares. Todd Is president of both companies, and receives 212,500 salary from each, or a total of 126.000 a year. Todd said the latter paid rent the same as anybody else would. “Which pays the rent for the office you occupy?” asked Ashby. “The Indianapolis Traction and Ter-
had been expended from 1899 down the present day, Todd and Latta, one of the company’s attorneys, demurred. Commissioner Edwards ruled that it
should be supplied.

How Allied Navies Are Getting Troops to France
LONDON, September 4.—Some Idea of the work of the eatente allied naviea in F.uropean waterw in shown by Interesting figures on the part taken by American destroyers from one base in April. May and June of this year, which the Associated Presa now is permitted to disclose. These destroyer*, which form only a part of America's fleet la European waters, eamrted 121 troop ship convoys, consisting of 77S ships, in Hint period. During the same time they escorted 171 merehant convoys, consisting of 1,79.3 ships. When It is understood that the American navy in that period did only 27 per cent, of the convoying and that the figures represent only the work of destroyers st one base. It may be seen what a tremendous task Is being performed by the nllied navies. There are at present UWN ships flying the British flag carrying American troops exclusively. In August more than 2.NO.OOO American troops arrived In France. Of this number the American navy convoyed 34 per cent., the British 05 per cent, and the French 1 per cent. It is nnderstood that American naval aviators have begun operations from bases on the Irish coast.
