NO PROTEST AT FARE HEARING


Although notice had been sent to all
local street railways, trade organizations
and citizens associations announcing a
hearing on the question of whether the
Metropolitan Coach Company should be
permitted to charge a straight fare Of
cents instead of giving six tickets for a
quarter. not a single protestant appeared
when the Public Utilities Commission
met yesterday to give consideration to
the matter
The commission has suggested that the
route of the company be changed SO cars
will operate from II street and Madison
place to X and Fifteenth stleets by way
of Vermont avenue and Fifteenth street
to the west side of Mcpherson square.
instead of via II street. Fifteenth street
and the east side of Mcpherson square.
This would involve the moving Of the
transfer point from Fifteenth and H to
Vermont avenue and H street.
