At a special sitting of the Commission, which will be held in Ottawa on \u2018the 78nd of this month, the case of .the cities of Toronto, Montreal, Hamton and Ottawa will be presented.Before the conclusion of the sitting | this afternoon Mr [.8.Fairty, repre- | ening Toronto and Hamilton, argued that the application should he rejected or held over for a year.The company, he contended, had set aside ciation.and piled up a large surplus which could be aptlied on operating expenses before increased rates were \u2018asked.Mr.H.D.Gordon, of Toronto, argued that, even, at the worst, the Company would show i surplus about a million dollars in 1919 Lawrence MacFarlane, acting for the company, said that opposing counsel scemed to think that the company shoul wait until it was ruined before asking for an increase in rates Sir Henry Drayton disagreed with this statement, remarking that the company had a surplus of $3,200,000 which, it wes suggested, should be used to meet increased expenses.Mr.MacFarlane argued that it was necessary for the company to maintain a surplus in order to take care of future business.Sir Henry Drayton remarked that the company had earned surpluses which might have been kept in such a form as to take care of necessary expenditures in future.Mr.Fairty argued that with the close of war, prices of materials and labor would fall.Further, the com- by the stock market as a gilt-edged security and was quoted around 130.Sir Henry Drayton remarked that the price at which a stock was quoted on the market might also mean that interested people were able to maintain it at 2 certain level.Discussion of the appleation will be continued st a special meeting in Ottawa on January 22, when Monti real and Toronto will present their cases.There will also he sittings of the Board in Toronto on the 13th and in Montreal on the 16th.SUICIDE MURDERS > MOTHER AND CHILD Chelsea.Mass, Jan.8-\u2014Mrs.Alice Smith and her nine-year-old son | Oyster Bay, NV, January #\u2014Theo- ; dore Roosevelt lies at rest Leneuth a ROOSEVELT LIES SENDS GREETINGS A REST NEAR | TO LUMBERMEN BOVIS ANTS sv a ove | IDENT \u2018or LUMBERMEN'S | NO OTHER EX-PRESIDENT; ASSOCIATION WRITES OP.HAS HAD SUCH A suupLe | TIMISTICALLY OF TRADE.| !
