will not change the present car stops,
which have apparently received suf-
ficent official and public approval to
become permanent except for changes
here and there that have not proved to
be wise.
Walter Johnson, the expert Of the
Electric Railway Journal, sent hers to
study the new skip-stop measure, said
today that It had proven wonderfully
effective, and he thinks IL will be
the beginning OF a widespread move
ment among street arilway lines 70
inaugurate skip-stops, not only in the
interest Of speeding the transportation
OF the public but a. q fuel saver.
Mr.. jackson does not believe that
elevated lines should ever be built in
Washington. The great width OF the
streets here, he thinks, enables the
use OF surface lines. "Washington is
growing so fast. though" said Mr..
Jackson, shat nobody can tell what
Will eventually have to be done IN
caring for the big population the city
Is sure to have even after the war"
Run Cars In Double Units.
Mr.. Beeler's final recommendation
for permanent Improvement Of Wash
ington street car service will be that
the street railways here be compelI-
ed to re-equip their cars a. speedily
as possible to run them in trains OF
two at . time. It will take some
money and some time TO do this, but |
Mr.. Beeler Is unhesitatinE in his as
sertion that for the purpose OF Clean
Ing" up crowds the double-unit idea |
Is the worlds best bet In the sum /
mer open cars may be employed, but /
these cannot be used in the winter,
and the Beeler program looks TO hav-
ing the car lines here prepare their i
closed cars as rapidly as possible for |
operating In trains, so that when an
other winter arrives, there will be /
thorough preparation for handling
he public in a manner different to
hat the people were compelled to
nut up with during the past winter.
The Beeler recommendations yet TO
be considered by the Utilities Com
mission are those for staggering
work hours TO relieve the peak"
oads on the railroads; re-routinE Of
,ars to get the best possible service
out OF them for the public good, and
that the railroads begin
yettinE cars ready to run In trains
lext fall and winter, by which time
he Capital Traction will have twenty
lew cars in operation and the Wash
nEton Railway and Electric nifty new /
mes, II they can be delivered by that
line, all these equipped to run in

REROUTINGOF

ISNEXT MOVE
BEELER PLANS
NJ ELL PRICE.

Early next week John A. Beeler
will submit to the Utilities Commits
sion q recommendation for extensive
reroutinE Of the cars of the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Company
which, II adopted, will materially
change routinEs that have long ex-
listed.
This Recommendation Is to be fol-
lowed by q reroutinE plan for the
Capital Traction Company, and is ex-
pected to be drastic.
Mr.. BeeleT's Investigations have
convinced him that q complete re-
routing Of cars on all lines OF the
J local car companies will immensely
increase the efficiency, and that this
Is necessary to supplement the
Recommendations made by him and
now IN effect His opinion IL that
from % to 80 per cent in efficiency
and Improvement Of service may be
gained.
WIN HGVe Support.
These recommendations may not en-
counter the welcome in railroad
circles that the skip-stop andSother
programs have received, entaIling, as
they will, . radical reorganization of
the routes OF cars, but IL Mr.. BeeIer
IL able to demonstrate that his plans
are for the public good the Utilities
CommfSRion will probably back him
Up. The car companies have 20 far
shown q cooperation with all proposI-
tons intended for general improve
Inent even where It was necessary to
make over their times tables.
GnruA l. -.
necessary to care for the large num-
Der OF Government employees who are
being concentrated in the Potomac
Park vicinity, steadily increasing be-
cause OF the erection there OF large
new temporary buildings for Gov
eminent office purposes.
To Eliminate G Street Stub.
Some idea of the reroutinE pro-
gram for the Washington Railway ]
and Electric Company may be had
when-it Is stated that Mr.. Beeler pro-
poses 10 eliminate the C street stub /
end 50 well known throughout the |
city. This Is the terminus for the
City and Suburban and Brookland
cars Of the Washington Railway and
Electric Company. It ends at Fiji
teenth and G streets, IN the center Of
the congested district of Washing
ton. Two new office buildings are
ging up in this square, and traffic
OF all kinds r. impeded and ham
pered. Many cars are frequently tied
up at this stub end.
Mr.. Beeler's plan will be to turn all
cars westbound through G street, ex-
cept those scheduled to return to
south on Eleventh street TO
z, west on F to Fourteenth, and north
on Fourteenth to G for the return trip
east over G street. This will include
all cars from BFookland and points
this side Of RiYerdale.
The diversion Of these cars to p
street will not add to the congestion
here, II IL stated, inGsmuch as some
p the cars now using the T street
inc will be diverted over other lines. 4
some cars now running over G street ]
will be sent over that route, but the I
stub end will cease as a terminus eX-
,ept for cars bound for distant points
IN the City and Suburban line. II
