Suggested Amendments.

The bill now under discussion might be
amended so that no person shall be entitled
to obtain a transfer after having rendered
a transfer fare except where the destina-
ton of the passenger is to some suburban
point on the lines of the Georgetown and
Tenleytown roads. the Brightwood Rail
road Company, the City and Suburban Rail
road Company. the Anacostia and Potomac
River Railroad Company and the Chevy
Chase extension of the Capital Traction
Company. One suggestion made during the
hearing was that all transfers be abolished
and that a fiat rate of 3 cents be charged
each passenger. This proposition has also
been commended to the commissioners IN
several communicate tons.
Annual Reports.
After reporting upon the other speciiica-
lions of the BILL as has been explained. the
Commissioners concluded by saying:
The Commissioners invite attention to
the fact that the various street railroad
companies of the District of Columbia sub
NIT annual reports to Congress giving their
operations in detail, which information is
easily accessible to the committee. These
reports show the capital stock, funded and
floating debt cost of operation. dividends
paid. and other details, all of which de-
serve consideration in connection with the
proposed legislation.
The Commissioners further desire to in
yte the attention OF the committee to the
bill previously submitted to them relating
to the control of street railroads i'll the
District of Columbia, and beg to suggest
the advSa bility of favorable action thereon
This bill gives authority to the Commission
ers to regulate schedules so that the pub
lie can receive the maximum of accommo-
dation and also to ADJUST a scheme or
transfers between competing lines

Dallas Tex, Sept. S.-The
bugs that are attracted by cleo
trio lights and hence are known
only in cities and towns were
thicker last night than they have
been in Dallas this year. They
began to appear as soon as the
lights were turned on and they
were much in evidence through
out the night. They were SO
thick as to be nuisance and, in
several instances, they proved a
positive impairment to the
street cars.
Manager Moore of the street
railway companies said to-day:
owe street railroad people have
to contend with many kinds of
troubles, | need not enumerate
but they are numerous. Last
night one of our principal trou-
bles was the bugs. They
swarmed around every electric
light and, where the light hap
pened to be over car track,
they actually retarded traffic.
Cars were forced to proceed
slowly and were stopped in a
number of cases. The street
car mans path lacks much of
being bed of roses"

ruId support the candidacy of
