COURT ASKED TO RULE ON
UTILITIES BOARD ORDER
Street Railway Company Opposes.
Regulation Against Over
crowding Cars.

The Washington Railway and Electric
Company is not satisfied with the recent
order of the public utilities commission
concerning the riding on running boards.
excluding passengers from front plat
forms and ordering the display OF full
car" signs.
Late yesterday afternoon. through At
torney j. ]. Darlington, the company ap-
pealed from the order of the commission
to the District Supreme Court, and asked
that tribunal to issue an Injunction
against Oliver p. Newman. Frederick L.
Siddons and Chester Harding who, as
Commissioners of the District of Column
bia, constitute the public utilities COM
mission.
The company charges they were not
given a proper hearing, and that the reg
ulation was promulgated after an infor-
NAL conference only.
The court Is advised of the inconven-
fence to which the travelling public will
be placed II the cars are allowed to haul
only specified number of passengers.
1t Is pointed out that the bureau Of en-
craving and printing. for example, dis
street at certain hour. and that to
comply with the full car" portion Of
the Objectionable regulation II would
take ffty-four cars to handle this traffic
alone.
The citizens present at meeting before
the commission. the court is told, with
out exception declared that the order
prohibiting the occupancy Of the front
platform OF closed cars or the running
board Of open cars within reasonable
limitations was uncalled for and worked
an unnecessary hardship and fnconyen-
lance on the public.
At this hearing, 1t IL alleged, formal OBJ
Jections were made to the commissioners
method of rromulgating the orders. The
objections specified that decisions of the
commissioners are not to be based on mere
town meetings. but that there must be
testimony taken and full and complete
stenographic record kept: that provisions
AFFECTING rates, tolls, charges schedules.
regulations, or acts complained Of should
not be entered without formal hearing;
ana that about 1920 trips are made daily
oy open cars equipped with a seat on the
'front.' platform. each Heat accommodating
about five passengers, and that comput-
ing the number Of passengers carried
daily on such seats would show that the
order would mean q loss to the company
OF about 81 600 daily.
The bill charges that the commission
erS were unfair, In that the action was
taken without consistent compliance with
the requirements Of the act empowering
the commissioners in such matters. The
plea Is made that on or about May 8, 1913,
the commission addressed letter TO the
various street railway companies operat-
Ing in the city. including the complainant
proposing an amended code Of regula-
TONS and inviting q conference.
