Whiting and East Chicago attorneys and especially th. se fioin Whiting, are doing their be.-t f r.ave tie: zot.e system of lares put into effect on the H. W . & E. (.". siieet ar lines in the- hearing wh.ch is being held by the Public Service 1 on, m ,ss ion in Hamr.iond . Hammond u. esr.'t want it that way for obvious reasons. Atte.iniys Hall ami Gavu:. representing Whiting, have been driving at this pent from the- f...-;:. Whiting claims to be more or le.-.s self contained . Its people do not use the ime much for rides within the 1 ity . N.iiAty per cent of the etraffivi of Wb.tir,; folks 15 to Chicago. the attorneys ay . This means that if the live cent fare would be retained with a charge- lor transfers .Whiting would i-main on its "pre-war" basis while Hammond we uid be hit hard . Thus a man living in the south part of Hammond 111 going to his work at the Standard Oil p. ant aiound Forsythe won!, be h: f-u two transfers. He would buy ene if r.-- woikeu at the Sinclair plant and went through East Chicago . Ye t. that same man could go to the Inland plant several miles farther away from his home without buying a transfer. The commission de.es not seem to ;-eri...usly con sieVr the zne plan. W. J. Hagenah.. the cr.suitir.g engineer whe compiled, the date tor the city of Chicago in its controversy with the street car companv and who w as employed by t lie H. W. &. E. C. Ry. Co.. to prepare, its figures for the commission, was on the stand yesterday afternoon and this morning introducing his compilations as evidence for the consideration of the board . He laughed at the suggestions of a none system for this district. He said that the e.r.ly places whre it had been tried with any measure f success were m cities of over J."n.'"eo pop ulat.on and that tnese plates had abandoned it as soon as p .ssible. In a wordy battle with Attorney Hall he made the statement that Whiting seemed to be trying t - siut herself off from the resrt of the world. Instead of ihree cities each trying to put their own pet ideas across he said that there should be only n' city in this district and branded the present situation of three cities with adjoining limits as economically absurd. Figures on the operation of the Green Line showed that since March 31. there lias been a gradual decline in the number of passengers hauled owing to the slowing down of industries . He says that the condition of business in a district has metre to do with the amount of traffic than a raising or lowering ..f the war. Traffic, he- said, gent rail v fell off sharply lolieiwing a fare increase, but usually got back pretty near normal again in thirty f sixty days, when th old riding habit has asserted itself. Based em 1 t he number of passengers carried in t lie year ending January I, and the costs e.f operation as they were then, he said that a fare of 6,7 cents AVould be necessary- to give th.- company a ftfuin ef 8 per cent on its investment and w-jth the increased costs he. figuies that, the fare should be at least 7 cent.-'. The wuge increase of 1.1 cents per hour which lias just been accepted by the- carmen will im rease the company's operating sts ?3. una per month, it was shown. DEATH OF MRS. VEITH Pauline K.
