NO FREE TRANSFERS.

Manager Williams of the BrightwoOd
Company Denies u RumOr.
Mr.. Charles P. Williams, the general
manager Of the Brightwood electric rail-
road, was asked this morning what truth
there was in the announcement in a local
paper that an arrangement had been made
whereby free transfer Of passengers
would be adopt ed by his read and the Cap
ital Traction Company.
There is absolutely no truth in such an
assertion said Mr.. Williams. mo such
idea has ever been entertained. The sug-
gestion has been advanced by persons not
connected with either company several
times, but has never been considered by
either company, so far as 1 know, and
certainly not by the Brightwood company
which would simply be driven out of ex-
tstence under such an arrangement, as it
Is barely meeting its operating expenses
at the present time. and free transfer
agreement would just about cut it's re-
ceipts in half.
As matter of fact" continued Mr.
Williams, the suburban railroads should
re subsidized, as they have acted as the
pioneers in the advancement of the inter-
ests of the District of Columbia and of
the property holders of suburban real es-
tate. The increase of the value of this
real estate. due entirely to the means of
communication afforded by the suburban
roads, has resulted in an increase of the
receipts from taxation
