The per car mile basis for setting aside funds to the credit of maintenance and depreciation accounts may be adopted by tle State Rail way commission, following a conference held here today between the commission and officials of the street railway com panies of the state. The commlaalon has been requiring the setting aalde of 6 per cent of the value of physical property. Be sides officials of the Omaha and Lincoln losal traction companies there were present Rrf A. Luessler of the Omaha A Council Bluffs Street Railway company, W. O. Nicholson, auditor of the same company; H. S. Norton of the Omaha. Lincoln A Beatrice tnterurhan line. While rates are said to have no bearing whatever on the proper amount to set aalde for depreciation, tha depreciation ac count may have some bearing on rates to bo established by the commission. The Lincoln Traction company now has before the commission an application to increase rates and the company, through Secretary Smith, alleges that the company has not been allowed enough for depreciation. Mr. Lueaaler first argued In favor of making gross receipts the basis of de preciation on the ground that earnings re flect the use of cars and tracks and that use is the principal but not the only fac tor In depreciation. Later he heartily ap proved the suggestion that car mllee be made the basis, this coming nearer to what he thought was the best test. Sec retary Smith of the Lincoln Traction com pany opposed gross receipts as a basis and approved the proopsed car mile basis. He opposed gross receipts as a basis because, he said, Lincoln, gave more service ac cording to population than the Omaha company gives, yet when the Lincoln com pany proposes to take off cars it Is not permitted to do so. He said no city In the United States of the size of Lincoln gives as much service. He asserted that Lincoln has & metropolitan street car serv ice In a town of 40,000. Mr. Smith. Insisted on the commission es tablishing a rule that would apply to all street car companies In the state. The street car companies In the state. The Omaha man opposed this and said condi tions were different In every city and that the commission should Investigate and make a rule for each company. Mr. Smith and the Omaha man Indulged In some discussion In regard to manage ment. Mr. Smith dened that a company could take off cars when ts business falls below 20. per cent In volume, while the Omaha officer said they could be taken off. He explained that his company ran specials or trip cars on every line in Omaha and when the morning and evening rush is over they take off or put on cars according to the needs of ths patrons. Mr. Smith said his company runs some spe cial cars, but be contended that If the trafflo ts comfortably carried and business falls off 30 per cent for a short time the company Is not Justified In changing Its time card. Mr. Leussler believed, that In such a Caae too many cars were run In the first place and that the falling off In trafflo could be met. by tha taking off of specials or trip ears between the morn ing and evening rush. Commissioner Purse made light of the gross receipts basis by asking Mr. Lues- ler If ths gross receipts of the Brandeis store in Omaha would not be Just as fair basis aa the receipts of the street car company. Mr. Ltuesaler thought It would not because the trade of a mercantile busi ness depends on esasons and special sales.
