Miss Travers didn't seem inclined TO

THE COHEN CO THE COHEN co

terday morning, stating that the old
company was first to take active, formal
steps to bring about a transfer arrange
ment, summed up the situation. 1t was
true that the officers of the Richmond
Traction Company might have suggested
to the officers of the Richmond Railway
and Electric Company that a transfer
system should be effected, but no equita-
BILE or fair arrangement had ever been
suggested. Captain Guigon said that the
old company had five times as much in
lines as the Traction Company, and added
that 1t would. of course. not be fair for
them to transfer passengers upon an
equal division OF the fares.
COMMUNICATIONS FILED.
There was much debate upon the ques-
ton among the members of the commit
tee. Mr.. Ebel moved that sub-commit-
tee be appointed to consider the matter,
but Mr.. Pollock offered as substitute
that the communication be received and

ARGUE THE MATTER.
Mr.. John SHELTON Williams said ina,
his company had always been ready ana
anxious TO meet the Richmond Halfway
and Electric Company upon the question
OF transfers upon "A fair and equltapie
basis. He was not willing to enter INTO
an agreement with that company by
which the old company was 10 get nine
tenths of the receipts. while the Traction
Company would only get one-tenth. MT.
Williams explained that negotiations were
now pending between the general man
ayers OF the two companies, and that
matters were now awaiting "a decision by
a certain street railway journal, when
would probably be had in few days.
Captain A. b. Guigon, counsel OF the
Richmond Railway and Electric COM
pany, answered briefly the communica-
ton and statement from the president OF
the Traction Company. He did not think
the letter should have been sent 10 the
committee while the negotiations referred
TO were still pending. 1t put his company
in a false light. He asserted that the
letter Of Captain Pixxini. published yes
