Caused Friction.

Not only were the Washington Railway
and Electric Company representatives in
formed that the Capital Traction Com
pany would not consider ii merger, but
they were informed in such decided terms,
according to the report, that considerable
feeling since has sprung up between the
two factions which direct the operation
OF NashinSton'S principal street car lines.
Denial that any merger of local public
service corporations is contemplated in
the formation OF the Maryland-EirSnia
Railway Company has been made by
President King of the Washington Rail
way and Electric Company and other Of
ficials of that company who are the prin-
clDal promoters of the new thirty million
dollar corporation.
AS a result of the circulation of the re-
port to the effect that the Washington
Railway and Electric Company suggested
the desrability of a merger to the Cap
ltal Traction Company, it is now believed
that the charter of the new corporation
purpOsely may have been made broad
enough to permit of the amalgamation of
local public service corporations in the
event developments should make possible
merger.
1t is pointed out that it would not have
been necessary to have organized for
eign corpora ton in order to provide funds
for financing the future development OF
Company and its allied properties, which
is the reason advanced by President King
and others for the organiza ton of the
Maryland Virginia Railway Company.
Could Amend Charter.
IF funds are needed for development
purposes and no more bonds can be is
sued under its present charter, the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Company
could apply to Congress to have it's char
ter amended so as to provide for the is
suance of additional bonds.' said repre-
sentative of the office of the District
corporation counsel today.
why was it necessary for the COM
pany to disguise such legitimate OBJ
ject is said to have been back of the
formation of the Virginia corporation by
obtaining a charter to run a one-horse
railroad in another State?'
The corporation counselS office is fol-
lowing closely the developments growing
out of the publicity given the plans of
the company. The office is looking espe-
cially into the question of whether fran
chiseS granted to corporation by Con-
Sress can be sold to another corporation.
