"have been putting money into the company without zettln p any returns, s.-.larles or anything '-b--e. :ix the company has boon operating on a losing basis for yearn and the only i'i-stion remains is whether they want to continue dolntf the fame vith a hope of eventually pulling out clear or relinquish the property at a fair price." Mr. Smith explained that though poople of South Uend are .still Kettinir livo cent car rides the cost of

' Tho crippling of the car service during the recent epidemic." said Mr. Smith, "was brought more to the no-tic-of the public than that of any ether Induttry with tho possible exception of the telephone companies.

The heavy ?now flooded the tracks and the water Injured the el'Ctrieal equipment of tho cars rauMm: breakdowns. The shortage of help in the shop made quick repairs Impossible, consequently we were left with a hhortaie of cars alons with a shortage of men to op'rute th'-m. "The directors of the company have continued to put money into the company In the hope that the growth of South Uend would In time make' possible a sutliciont amount of business to allow them to work it up to a paying basis, but if the city decides to take the steps belntr considered, no doubt the directors will r.ot look unkindly on the opportunity to Fell the property. However, the matter has not been under dlscvsslon by the directors as yet and I am not in a position to pive a positive Ftatemont.
