PLAN FOR UNITING
ALL D. c. UTILITIES

Project for Merger Before

A proposition for the merging Of all the

of the Senate appropriations committee
In charge of the District appropriation

Goldsborough said that he represented q
number of other citizens OF the District.
but did not give their names.
It is not believed that the subcommit-
tee will take favorable acton on the pro
posed amendment to the District bill. 1t
was pointed out this afternoon that such
an amendment. being new legislation.
would be subject to a point of order. and
that even If it were placed In the bill il
would be short-lived. The plan is looked
upon as too large for consideration at
this time. also.
Mr.. Goldsborough advocated the merger

Of all the street railways. the gas COM
panies, the electric light and power COM

all Of the public utilities, into one big
corporation, doing business in the Dis
trict Of Columbia. He urged that such
consolidation would be in the interests
of economy and in the interests of the
people Of the District and would be en-
abled to obtain these public utilities at
lower rates than at present.
Mr. Goldsborough referred to the fact
that many questions relating to publ C
utilities in the District which have now
been raised could be settled effectively
by such a merger. The plea of the citi-
zens for free universal transfers on the
street car lines would be granted. the
plea for uniform rates for gas in Wash
ngton and Georgetown would be set
tied. as would a number of other I'M
rortant matters.
He pointed out that the public utilities
law, according to the Interpretation of
the legal department of the District gov
eminent. did not authorize the public util-
ties commission to bring about such a
con. olidation. and that special authority
would have to be granted by Congress for
this purpose.
George E. Hamilton president of the
Capital Traction Company. and Clarence
p King, president Of the Washington
Railway and Electric Company were
present and criticised Mr. Goldsborough' S
proposed amendment to the District bill.
