Consideration Of the Wiley bin for uni
versal transfers or street railway lines
in the District has been made the special
order for the meeting OF the House Dis
trict Committee next Wednesday. At the
regular weekly meeting yesterday. when
four local bills were favorably reported.
it was briefly discussed.
Representative Wiley proposed as an
amendment to his bill a provision similar
TO that existing in the old charter OF the
Metropolitan line. providing for transfers
between that line and the Capital Ttac-
ton Company.
Under It's charter, the old Metropolitan
line. now part Of the Washington Rail
way and Electric system. was required TO
make reciprocal transfer arrangements
with existing lines.
Provision seems Inadequate.
Apparently under this charter. the COM
pany could be compelled TO issue trans
fers 70 the Capital Traction lines. but
from what can be learned from the Dis
trict Committee it appears this provision
in the Metropolitan charter Is not re-
Garded as adequate. The Wiley amend
ment, as proposed, would follow closely
the language Of the Metropolitan charter.
however.
No action was taken by the committee
yesterday on the bill. and IT went over for
Ia week. The Smith bill to establish a
public school teachers retirement fund
was also made the special order for next
Wednesday.
Three Of the four bills favorably re-
ported yesterday relate 10 highways They
include the Fairchild bill, authorizing the
Commissioners 10 prepare a new highway
plan for the territory bounded by West
.ern avenue. Rittenhouse street, and Thlr-
ty-third street.
The bill which has passed the Senate
providing for the extension OF Reno road
and the Southwick bill for the opening of
Thirteenth street. from LcaEfellow street
to Fourteenth street, were also favorably
reported. A favorable report was ordered
on the Olcott bill. fixing the compensa-
ton OF special crossing policemen at the
same rates now received by regular mem
bers Of the police force.
