HEARING IS GIVEN
ON BOND PROJECT
Request of Baltimore & Ocean
City Railway Company
Is Opposed.

Failure of the Baltimore and Washing
ton Transit Company to operate success
fully traction line from 14th street to
Takoma Park was ascribed by attorneys
for the company at hearing before the
public utilities commission today to the
refusal of the Capital Traction Company
to exchange transfers with the line and
the Potomac Electric Power Company to
furnish electricity at reasonable rates.
The hearing, which lasted more than
three hours. was on the application of
the Baltimore and Ocean City Railway
Company, which has purchased the
ington concern, for authority to issue
$119.300 worth of stocks and bonds for
the purpose of improving the line.
Forfeiture of Charter Claimed.
William Nick. Clayton, representing
property owners along the right of way.
appeared in opposition to the granting of
the application He claimed thai the Bal
timore and Washington company had for
feited its charter by failure to live up to
certain requirements prescribed by Con-
gress. Mr. Clayton said the company had
failed to build a road along Colorado ave-
nue. to its intersection with 18th street,
as required by it's charter, and referred to
charter requirements.
Attorney III. F. Lerch Of the Baltimore
and Washington company replied that
tracks had been laid along Colorado ave-
nue., but that the Commissioners had or
dered that they be taken up. He denied
charges made by Mr.. Clayton that the
officials Of the railroad corporation have
not acted in good faith, and. in response
to questions by Commissioner Newman
as to the failure of the company to oper-
ate the line successfully. laid the blame
upon the Capital Traction and Potomac
Electric Power companies.
Had it been possible for the crosstown
line to obtain transfers and electric
current at reasonable rates. he declared,
the company would be dong Hourish-
ing business today.
Sale Ratified by Court.
The commission recently considered an
application by the Baltimore and Ocean
City Company. for authority to is
sue bonds in the amount named.
but declined to act, on the ground
that the concern was foreign
corporation. Later the company had its
sale of purchase of the property of the
Baltimore and Washington line rati-
fed by the District Supreme Court
following which it renewed it's appli-
cation for approval by the utilities
board of the bond issue plan.
Mr. Clayton this afternoon said that
he will request the commission to give
a. hearing on a petition which he has
filed urging the District government to
collect penalties growing out of the
alleged failure of the Baltimore and
Washington company to live up to GER
tain charter obligations.

steamship Baltic, on which was the body
of Mayor Gaynor Of New York. who died
suddenly at sea Wednesday, arrived at
Queenstown at 4:3O o'clock this morn
