Allen, Too, Is Optimistic
"The people of Medford expressed
themselves most emphatically on
the septic tunk bond proposition,
and though the result wus in
measure disappointing to the city
government the majority rules, and
we gracefully abide by the deci
sion," said W. W. Allen, chairmai
of the city council health commit
tee, upon whom uud the oilier mem

the burden of plucing the sewer

un Interview today.
"We have done our best, as we
see It, and now that the bonds are
defeuted, will continue within limit
ed means at our dlsposul to do so, in
regard to the septic tank situation.
The situation now faced by the city
administration Is a puzzling one,
but the voters shifted the main re
sponsibility from our shoulders."
President O. O. Alenderfer of the
chamber of commerce had no com
ment to make today on the result
of the election and future resump
tion of steps to remedy the septic
tunk situation,, beyond the fact that
in view ot the depression and gen
eral abhorrence of most property
owners ot increasing their taxes,
It was not surprising that the bond

Railroads Not Seeking 15
Per Cent Increase As Per
manent Fixture I. C. C.
Told Hoist Not Sufficient
to Return 'Fair' Profit
Mi
WASHINGTON, July It). (P)
The railroads today announced
that thuy did not want the 15 per
cent freight rate Increase they have
asked to be made necessarily a per
manent rate.
WASHINCJTON, July 1(1. (P)
The Interstate commerce commis
sion was told toduy that the east
ern railroads believed only the 15
per cent Increase In freight rates
sought hy tho carriers would' bo
iiocesBary to tide them over the
depression- pin-lod. : . ' '
The statement was made at the
second day of hearings on the rute
application by J. J. Pelly, president
of the New York, New Haven &
Hartford railroad, representing the
! anutern csrrlers.
Still Lack Profit
He testified the Increase was not
sought with un idea to bring profits
to the 6 per cent net return fixed
as "fair" by the commission. It
was asked, he said, because it was
felt that without additional reve
nues the railroads could not con
tinue the transportation service
"which It Is their duty under the
law to provide and which is essen
tial to tho public welfare."
Pelley said railroad earning?
were such thut the carrlo s wero
unable to maintain their normal
capital and maintenance expendi
tures. . '
"The curtailment of the purchas
ing power of the railrouds has, In
my Judgment," he continued, "a
strong Influence in returding the
recovery of business."
Long Slump a Surprise
The railroads had no idea the
depression would last so long, he
added, acting on the assumption
It would end after a few months
they continued their programs ot
expenditures, he said. Hefore the
end of 1930, Pelley explained, how
ever, It was decided they could not
continue the 1930 policy.
The carriers, he said, had hoped
to get through the depression with
out Increasing rates and had cut
expenses to un absolute minimum.
"The Increases sought in this
proceeding,' he concllliieii, "are pro-
posed without any thought of in
creasing -revenues sufficiently to
earn a fair return. They are sought
as the minimum necessary to pre
vent what the railroads conceive
to be a serious emergency both for
themselves and the public."
