P. Ellis, attorney for the public service commission, whether the increase in 1922 from 5 to 6 ents had not actually caused a decrease in patronage and, a decrease in revenue, Mr. Billingsley replied that while there had been such decreases, he attributed it to a far greater number of automobiles now than at that time. p Billingsley said that in event the increase is allowed trans fers will: continue to be issued from the Southern Pacific steam line between Salem and Geer and from the bus lines that took j over the Southern Pacific traffic between Salem and west; side points. - . , . ...

' In f other words the gains hare been tremendous and the loss to the -republicans 50 per cent i in the matter i of plurality. The republican1 inomlnee for gov ernor won by 65,000 in 1920.

Smith, com manding the armyworld flight, brought his air cruiser Chicago to a safe landing at Boiling field here today to receive a cordial greeting from President Coolidge and members of the cabinet. Bos ton II, substitute for the Boston, wrecked off Iceland, came in also with Lieutenant- Wade piloting, but the New Orleans went , down within 30 miles ;. of Washington, Just,this side of Baltimore, with stripped timing geifcrs, and her pilot, Lieutenant ;:Nelson, came on as a passenger in an escort plane. A" forced landing for the whole squadron of world cruisers and escort marred the flight from New York. The" filers, with Major General Patrick,-chief of the air service; leading the ; escorting squadron, ran into the fog just after they crossed the Susque hanna river, and; at Aberdeen, the army proving ground In Mary land, were signalled down to refill fuel tanks', emptied ' in the long grind against a steady south wind that ranged from 35 to 45 miles an hoar. ' - i '' T v ' ' : '. It was this that started the de lays which kept President and Mrs. Coolidge and members bf the cabinet and their wives wait ing four hours for more in the rain at Boiling field. Under better- conditions the planes would have landed before noon but against the wind that cut them down to a. 50 mile ground speed or less and with the stop for an hour or so at Aberdeen they did not. put in an -appearance until nearly 3 p. m. i - When Lieutenants Smith and Wade arrived, air service officers believed that all : three cruise -s were on the .ground. The two that did come In were wheeled Quickly to taxi back to a place in line before the' reviewing stand where the president awaited them. A space was kept clear for the third but when it remained vacant there were eager inquiries for the missing ship. ' - "Where's the New Orleans?" was cried at air! service quarters and they charged into the reserv ed enclosure" top find out v from General Patrick or Lieutenant Smith. "Oh, she's back near Bal timore," Smith said, and that was the first word of the accident to reach the public. Lieutenant Nelson landed from the escore plane which carried him through soon . as his com panions brought their ships to earth.

At the outset Galloway suggest ed that the courtesy, of the floor bo extended Ho any from the pro testing Englewood district who wished to be heard. Mayor Gie?y declared, however, that inasmuch as the question was on the passage of an ordinance the discussion should be limited to council mem bers, especially since a special meeting had been held previously to hear the residents of the dis trict.
