The present year is not a
good one for bus operation, ac
cording to Wendt's statement
tothecity. .
"The year 12 produced a
(ross revenue of $188,101.28
and expenses of $188,251.91, re
suiting m a deficit of only
$150.55," he said .
"We had hoped, in view of
the results of operation in 1952,
that the normal growth of the
city would, tend to better our
revenues, and by holding the
line, we would be in a firmer
position in 1953. This opin
ion wss further substantia ted
by the fact that the total op
erating revenues for 1952 had
(lightly exceeded the 1951 revenues.
"Unfortunately the operating
results of the first four months
of 1953 indicate our thinking
was incorrect."
He added that the revenue
for the first four months of this
year showed a loss of 2121.28.
Among factors causing the
loss Wendt mentions: The'W
preceaented increase in auto
mobile registration in Marion
county, the increase of automo
bile traffic on the streets and
the indiscriminate picking up
of prospective bus passengers
by private auto owners. . . .
This is the most unfair and un
reasonable competitions we
must cope with."

which has had a marked ef
