that unless the and passengers speed they will
get downtown on time
The first part of the Beeler report showing wherein
time be saved at the congested throat of the
system Fifteenth street and New York avenue is not
startling Mr. Beeer will readily admit that any traffic
the street railroads have employed traffic experts to
solve their problems instead of placing the cost of dag
nosng their sluggshness upon the people of the city
However second thought can be said that is the way
of corporations to great extent.
If Washington had separate and distinct public utili-
ties commission with the training of traffic expert
would in all probability be the commission be
poyed by the commission year in and year out If Wash
ngon had separate utilities commission, the entire time
utility matters The commission would think and study
street railway matters electric light and gas matters all
day long These little matters Of skip stops barn
ports and switching schemes would all be part of the days
work Washington wouldn't have to send to New York to
get doctor for its sick street railroads
As is the Commissioners appointed for three

Utilities Commission with lot more work. No can
properly be Commissioner of the District and member OF
the Utilities Commission The two positions have too much
work for any The only benefit arising from such
utility corporations who do not have to to time as
Quickly as if the Commissioners of the District of Columbia
and the members of the Public Utilities Commission were
separate.
The present problems the Utilities Commission are
attempting to solve have been complicated by the fact that
the of the Commissioners has changed almost
pletey in the last three years. Meantime the corporations
stack up problem after problem They know how to throw
dust in the eyes, and they are doing it.
