New Universal Transfer Scheme.

tennessee Member OF House Has
New Universal Transfer Scheme.
Representative Thetus willrette Sims.
of Tennessee. is not discouraged by the
fact that the House. in voting on the
adoption Of the conferees' report on the
Union Station trackage bill. refused to
stand out for universal transfers on the
street car lines of the District of Co.

Mr., Sims yesterday introduced a bill
which he believes will solve the objec-
tIons OF those persons who held that a
universal transfer provision in the Union
Station trackage bill was unconstitutional
The new bill provides that all the street
car companies shall be required TO give
universal transfers upon the payment
by the person desiring such transfers
Of ain additional cash fare OF l cent.
There is practically no chance Of the
bill ever reaching the floor at this ses-
