1t will take in making formal application
to the commission.
Mny Delay Action.
One thing that may delay the fltng
of formal application by the com
pany is the fact tha. the Utilities
Commission has not yet completed its
work of valuing the properties OF
the Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company. Upon the valuation
found may depend The ultimate de-
cision as to what, II any, increase in
fares will be permitted.
Until the street railway employees
few days ago gave notice OF their in
tention to ask that their wages be
hoisted to the maximum limit, the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company people had limited at want
ing only a straight Scent fare IN
stead of six tickets for q quarter.
The hint today Is that II the COM
pany is compelled to pay the maxi
mum wages set by the board q
straight scent fare will not be suffi-
cient to enable them to protect the
stockholders and give the public q
service that the city is entitled to
and demands. 1t may ask for a
straight 6-cent fare, with six tickets
for so cents, or something of that
kind. None of the details have been
worked out yet.
The Utilities Commission, when. Of
fcially asked for increased fares In
Washington, Is going to be ny against
peculiar situation The Capital
Traction Company Is now paying
identically the same wages to it's
workmen-32 to SO cents an hour
that is paid by the Washington Rail-
way & Electric. At those wages 1t is
making money and paying better div
idends than it did before the war
started. This has been due to the
fact that its comparatively short and
compact lines through the best por-
tions of the city have prospered
through hauling thousands OF new-
ccmers to Warrington
