"We are convinced that even if everythin* Of this nature which ran be done were done." the commission held, in discussing this point, "the result would be more expensive and less efficient and aatijfailory service than can be rendered under unified control. The two systems would be weakened, both financially and from the standpoint of service. In the course of tune this s.tuation might find partial remedy, but in many re spects no remedy would be possible. Would Increase Cost. ' The record Justifies the conclusion that separate operation of the Central Pacific; lines will disrupt existing routes and services In California and between that state anil adjacent states, and except to the extent that the rupture may be mitigated, will render impossible tho continuance of much valuable transportation service now conducted over the Central Pa cific and Southern Pacific liner, with out regard to corporate ownership. Such m-paration will result to an In determinate extent in the Increased cost of operation and duplication of otpltal Investment in railroad facilities and increased cost of operation. “Moreover, it is doubtful whether, for a time at least, the Central Pa cific, It operated as an Independent carrier, would have tho earning ca pacity and stability to sustain the heavy burden of its fixed charges and provide the new capita! for Us equip ment unci Improvement necessary in the* future to meet the 1 nquirement* of public service.
