its earliest and best accomplishments
is the information bureau which has

Car Company. Demanding Authority

Notice yesterday afternoon was served
upon the Public Utilities Commission by
the Washington Railway and Electric
Company that unless the company is
given authorization by July Is for the
issuance and sale of $4,000 worth OF
bonds proceedings in equity will be insti-
tuted in the District Supreme Court to
appeal from the decision Of the commits
sion.
The company last December and again
in March asked the commission for au-
thority to issue 1864 900 worth of bonds.
On March % the commission issued an
order granting permission for the issu-
ance of bonds to the extent Of $3Sy OOO
provided certain conditions were OBJ
served. The commission declined to au-
thorize the remaining sci 900 worth of
bonds on the ground that certain infor-
nation deemed necessary in giving con-
sideration to the application would not
be available before the completion OF the
valuation and investiga ton Of the COM
pany then in progress
In issuing its ultimatum to the COM
mission yesterday the railway company
said:
Your refusal to approve the issue dis
regards precedents heretofore establishd
by sou in approving the issue of bonds Of
other utilities operating within the Dis
trict and discriminates against this COM
pany in that respect
Your refusal draws n distinction be-
