as fast as possible.
What Worries Experts.
What is worrying the experts to-
day il that 4. they succeed in bet
tering things on the Capital Traction.
which ;hey admit is well managed,
people now using the lines of the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company will walk to Capital Trac-
tion lines and increase the congestion,
offsetting what good may be accom-
plished. 1t is stated that this Is al
ready being done to a traffic-ham-
pering degree, and that, as condi-
lions are today, better time may be
made by people taking certain lines
of the Railway and Electric Company.
Car Equipment Considered.
The experts will 60. carefully into
the question OF the equipment of the
two street railway lines, in the course
OF their work. Both lines have
claimed that they have sufficient pas
senger car equipment to care for the
traffic in this city, but that the whole
trouble is due to inability to get man
power to move the cars.
II is intended not only to ascertain
whether there have been purchases
of rolling stock in the last three
years. the charge having been made
that the equipment on the Washing
ton Railway and Electric Company Is
steadily decreasing in efficiency. but
also to find whether the existing
equipment on both lines Is in condi-
ton to meet the demands made
upon II.
The experts ought to be able to re-
port whether there can be real. solid
betterment OF street car service II
additional equipment IL not being
added and with the old equipment
going to pieces.
