Certain Indication.
SUPERVISION is SHIFTED
70 Out From Under Direction Of

by Special Act.

Another movement which in certain
local financial circles IN believed to have
a. tn ultimate aim the Capitalization oi
control OF all street railways operating
In the District Ii the exemption OF the
Virginia Railway Company
from the supervision of the Public
Utilities Commission.
Just prior to the adjournment Of Con-
gress the washington-Vi Virginia Railway
Company. which operates between thi,
city. Alexandria, and Mt. Vernon. hav-
ing its local terminus at Twelfth stree,
and Pennsylvania avenue northwest
succeeded in obtaining the enactment OF
special act relieving It from supervi-
sion by the Utilities Commission. Pres
ident Wilson signed the measure.
The Washington-Virginia is owned and
controlled by the Washington Utilities
Company. a slo.o0o,oo0 Virginia corpora
ton which was organized several years
ago for the purpose. II was said at the
time OF consolidating the street railways
OF the District and other lines operating
through adjoining sections OF Maryland
and Virginia.
Given Supervisory Powers.
When the Public Utilities Commission
was created. as the Washington virginia
Company ran over streets of the city,
the commission was given supervisory
powers over that line as well as others
operating in the District.
The special act exempung the Wiz
sfnia company from control OF the
local utilities commission slipped
quietly through Congress and was APP
proved by President Wilson, not, how
ever, II 10 said. without having met
opposition at the hands of the District
Those who foresee a revival Of the
effort to consolidate local street rail-
way interests In this act contend that
the controlling interests In the respect
I've local lines have come to a realiza-
the companies and the public would be
promoted by the creation of a single
railway company for the District.
Change in Attitude.
Tho see in Congress- willingness to
exempt the washington-virginia from
the supervision Of the utilities COM
mission a change in the attitude of the
national Legislature on this question OF
centralized control.
That Congress has become impatient

ests pointed out, by the fact that the
House and Senate enacted a provision

making a physical valuation OF the
gas Companies, with q view to deter
mining the proper cost of the product
