TRANSFERS TO
BE LIMITED
Question Will Be Thor.
oughly Thrashed Out
on November 7.

That universal transfer" as the
term is popularity Interpreted. viii not
be granted ir the near future by the
Public Utilities Commission, is the
opinion of traffic experts.
Universal tralSfa-S are Cencr1iIy
believed to mean transfers a. every
intersection OF the lines of the Cpr7-
peting companies. In its orders to the
street railway companies providing
for the increased fare, the commits
sion does state that co1Uderaiol IF
intercompany transfers will be taken
UP at an early late.
The whole question OF transfers will
be thrashed out 1t public herring
before the commission i'll the BOARD
room of the District Building No,cm-
ber 7. 1t was stated yesterday that
the adoption # q universal transfer
system would result in gross abuses
Abuses in Liberty System.
II was pointed out that in many
cities where such a system had been
put into effect the companies have
lost much of the increased revenue
which was expected because of the
increase in fares. Many people in
these cities have spent "a great deal
of time in figuring out how they
could arrange to go down town. do
their shopping and got back to their
homes. paying only one fare. 1t ia
pointed out that there are many ways
in this city whereby such arrange
meuts could be made.
The forces of the commission were
at work yesterday gathering all pos
sible data on the transfer situation.
in order that a decision may be
reached Immediately after the pub
lie hearing on the 7th of November.
1t is the intention to pick out cet-
tain points and grant inter-company
transfers at these intersections. 1t
is understood that the first section
of the city which will be considered
in this way is the navy yard Sec
tion. This section was mentioned
by the Commissioners Saturday at
the time of the announcement of the
increase.
Navy Yard Section First.
1t is believed that transfers will be
issued from the Eighth street line of
the Capital Traction Company to the
Lincoln Park line. running out East
Capitol street. This will bring the
navy yard employees in closer touch
with the government housing projects.
Another point of intersection in the
same section at which it is probable
that inter-company transfers will be
Issued at Eighth and H streets. 1t
has also been suggested that trans
fers be issued from the Eighth street
line to the line running on D street
1t is estimated that the 20 per cent
