Within short time, it is announced,
the old Commuters Protective Associa-
ton, composed of passengers who travel
over the Washington. Alexandria and
Mount Vernon railway. will be revived.
Those interested in the movement say
that a meeting will be called soon.
The purpose of reviving the associa-
ton. it is stated, is to get the railway
company to maintain its schedule and
to see that the cars are kept clean and
better heated during the winter months.
1t is the intention of the association
to take the matter up with the District
of Columbia electric railway commission
and also with the state corporation COM
mission.
Attorney L. P. Harlow of this city re-.
Gently wrote to the Interstate commerce
commission calling attention to the fact
that the cars were not kept clean and We're
insufficiently heated at times. He has
been informed by the commission that the
matter will be investigated.
The commuters will also take up with
the railway company the reduction of
fares
