UTILITIES RATE
HEARINGS Off
TILL NOVEMBER |

Postponement until after November
1, 1917, OF the valuation and rate
hearings in the case OF the Capital
Traction Company. the Washington
Railway and Electric Company, the
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company, the Georgetown and Ten
leytown Railway Company. and the
City and Suburban. Railway was an
nouneed today by the Public Utilities
Commission.
The reason given for the postpone
ment is that the commissioners will
soon have to begin work on their an
nual estimates. which must be In the
hands OF the Secretary OF the Treas
ury for Transmission To Congress not
later than October Is.
Another reason Is that the succes-
sor to Commissioner Newman, when
appointed. would have. TO go over all
the testimony in the hearings.
The commission decided, therefore,
that their objective point would be
reached as quickly by postponing the
as by continuing them, with

Railway Common At Per Cent.

Railway Common At Per Cent.
The directors Of the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company reached the
conclusion that despite the expenditure
of half a million dollars to break the
recent strike in this city they are able,
for another quarter. at least. to continue
the common stock upon a per cent
basis. and ordered the next quarterly in
terest checks to bear that rate.
When the strike began the company
had big cash surplus on hand, and the
losses from the strike were paid out OF
this. Some OF the surplus enabled the
continuation OF the existing rate Of in
terest. and conditions in the next three
months will determine what the rate
will be after that
For the last FIVE days the receipts
over the lines OF the road have been
greater than for the corresponding
days OF last year. giving encourage
ment, but the main factor in uphold
ing the dividend was the surplus. The
utilities commissions and the courts
OF the country have held that sur
pluses can not be counted in the val
uation basis OF utility corporations.
Protection for Public.
The directors have Informally come
to the conclusion that the District
courts will grant the injunction asked
against the reduced rates for cleo
trio lighting in Washington, but that
the courts will order the money col
lected from the public-that is, the
difference between the old and new
rates-to be impounded so that II the
courts finally uphold the order Of the
utilities commission the users of cleo
tricity will get back the difference.
The usual process is to require a
heavy bond as a guarantee OF pro-
lection to the public and the company
will stand ready to give this.
The impounding OF a sum estimated
at $4,000 a year will divert from
the earnings OF the Washington Rail
way and Electric Company consider
able money that has heretofore en-
abled payment OF common dividends.
but officials believe that the receipts
OF the company through improved
street car business are going to grow
right along and partially offset the
tied-up funds.

GENERAL KNIGHT
SEEKS TO SPEED
CAR SERVICE HERE
By BILL PRICE.

Brig. Gen. John G. D. Knight, the
new Engineer Commissioner of the
District, and thereby a member Of
the Utilities Commission, has reach
ed the conclusion that one of the
most pressing problems before Dis
trict officials and the public today is
betterment of congested traffic con-
ditions on street car lines in the
crowded downtown sections Of the
city during busy hours.
In his first public utterance, to
The Times representative, heartily
concurred in by Commissioner
Brownlow, General knight said he
thought it well that the working out
of these problems should be begun
as speedily as possible; that there
might be a solution before a great
while.
Invites Suggestions.
There are always complaints as to
street car service in Washington, and
We will give careful investigation
to them" he said, ''but we will give
especial welcome to constructive sug-
gestions from citizens and organize
tions intended to afford relief from
the congestion that is growing worse
all the time in portions OF the city.
ION some OF the car lines 1t Is be-
coming almost a physical impossi-
bility. in the busy hours of the day, to
operate sufficient cars to accommo-
date the traffic. To run much closer
together than they do now at certain
times might be dangerous"
General Knight has not committed
himself to any especial ideas or plans,
but he will be delighted to receive
helpful suggestions of q constructive
nature.
Early Solution Necessary.
The conditions referred to by Gen
eral Knight, who works many hours
at his desk each day grasping every
detail Of the big questions coming
directly before him, have attracted the
attention of the utilities commission
in the past, but the rapid increase in
the population OF Washington, due to
war activities and the Governments
employment of thousands OF new
clerks, has produced a situation call
ing for much earlier solution than
would have been the case had Wash
ington gone along in her normal way.
The congestion on Fourteenth
street: at Fourteenth, Fifteenth, and
New York avenue, Ninth and F, and
several other sections Of the city are
particularly in mind now.
The utilities commission some time
ago gave authority to the Capital
Traction Company for construction
work that is expected to bring relief
when completed.
One was the construction OF a con-
Meeting track from the east side Of
New York avenue and Fifteenth street
across Fifteenth street to Pennsyl-
vania avenue, and work will begin
shortly. This will enable Chevy Chase
cars to continue west on Pennsylvania
avenue without having to turn back
at Fifteenth street.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1917-08-03
Merrer OF LInes would solve II.

Public officials and railway experts
maintain that a merger of the street
railway lines would be the real So
luton, permitting re-routing OF cars
and continuation around certain
blocks, instead of terminating their
routes right in the busy centers OF
the city, but the getting together OF
the two companies for consolidation
is today recognized by those who
know inside facts as an impOssibiIity,
owing to wide differences in ideas OF
management and in the financial
basis upon which a merger could be
made.
There is no law that can compel q
