	And that is why I am surprized that they did not interline Library and Drake on Saturday
as well.

	Without interlining on Sunday it would have taken 4-cars to keep an hour schedule on each
of the interurbans   ---   interlining cut the overhead 25% from that (or to  *Use* 
figures,  it would take 33% more overhead to run dedicated cars over interlining on
Sundays!!(:->))

	So the percentage of savings on Saturday would not be as great, but the dollar savings
would be the same!!   Don't have to be an accountant to finger that one out!!(:->)
