no official information in regard to the at

Free Transfer System Between All
Lines Controlled by It,
IMPROVING THE VARIOUS ROADS
Ultimate Expense Estimated at
Forty-Two Million Dollars.
A VAST INV ESTM E N 7

The free transfer system on the various
lines of street railways controlled by the
Washington Traction and Electric Com
pany went into operation this morning,
and there was general expression of
qualification on the part of the many who
have hitherto been required to pay two
or three fares. or tickets to reach their des-
tinations from their homes that the Stevens
syndicate was carrying out it's promises in
regard to this important innovation. In
addition to the transfers to the Metropoli-
tan line, which were announced in The
Evening Star yesterday to begin today
wherever its tracks intersected those of the
City and Suburban road, a system of free
transfer was also inaugurated between the
latter line and that of the Columbia street
railroad at their conjunctions at 9Th street
and Massachusetts avenue and North Capt.
tol street and H street The Columbia and
Metropolitan also transfer at 11th and G
streets and 11th and F streets, respective
ly, with the Belt line and vice versa, while
the Metropolitan transfers at Az street
and Missouri avenue with the Anacostia
cars.
1t is now possible for a passenger to
take City and Suburban car at Brookland,
for instance, and transfer at 5th and +
streets TO a Metropolitan green car, go to
street junction of the Georgetown and
Tenleytown roads and ride to the District
line for one ticket, sold six for quarter.
No transfers transfers are given with
in the city limits, because under such an
arrangement a passenger who so desired
could ride all day on one ticket.
Will Push Work of Renovation.
1t is understood that work upon the re-
Mobilization and extension of the suburban
lines controlled by the syndicate, which
in some instances extend into Maryland, is
going to be very materially advanced by
the employment of larger forces.
1t is said to be the intention of the syn
dicate to push the road to Rockville to
completion before cold weather sets in. 1t
was said today upon what is regarded as
very good authority that the total amount
invested by the Stevens syndicate in the
purchase of electric lighting companies,
street and suburban railroads, the improve
ment thereof, the rights at Great Falls and
in the surrounding country and other priv1-
leges, either bought outright or leased for
a term of years, would reach when all pay
ments were made the sum of $42OOO,OuO.
This takes into consideration the building
of the dam at Great Falls, the erection of
great power house near that point and
the extensive and costly construction neces-
gary to bring the current generated there
to Washington. 'a.s,.' 5--~s-. s.,.,s~ -
Changes in Personnel Probable.
1t is also stated in well-informed quarters
that there will be some important changes
made in the personnel of the Washington
Traction and Electric Company when Mr..
Frederic c. Stevens returns from Europe.

of $4,000 to pay a bounty of 81 on gray
and black wolves and 81 on coyotes
during the XXI two years. The bill
has gone to the senate for action.
There was considerable opposition to
the bill ON the ground that it makes
too large an appropriation from the
general fund, and this is probably true.
