"The framers of tha ordinance ob
viously are unaware of what the rail
way company would have to do to com
ply with it First of an, funds for Im
provements can be raited only If the
railway produces net earnings. The
operation - of the ordinance would ef
fectually prevent net earnings so that
no more funds could be raised and all
improvements would have to cease,"

"For example, the railway system to

the ordinance, were tha cars now avail- -
able, would mean to use all of tha
'present power capacity In order to sup

ultimately overcome this difficulty to
