cases where both parties to the con-
troversy did not submit the issues for
arbitration. In cases of the latter
class the board made recomnenda-
tions for settlement.
FIFTY cases have been dropped or

complainants to prosecute. In seven

Navy Yard Points Are Much in

The points at which inter-com-

tween the Washington Railway and
Electric Company and the Capital
Traction Company will be consider
ed by the Public Utilities Commits
sion at a public hearing to be held
in the board room Of the District
Building this morning at 10 o'clock
Particular attention will be paid
by the commission to the intersec-
tions in the vicinity OF the navy
yard. 1t is probable, however, that
the whole situation will be gone
over at the hearings.
Experts OF the commission have
been at work for some time study
ing the problems. They have pre-
pared plans Of the transfer system
which will be submitted at today's
hearing.
Representative OF the various
citizens associations OF the city will
be present at the hearing, and will
submit the views Of their assoCia-
tions to the commission. 1t is prob
able that many citizens will appear
individually to present intersections
near their homes and places OF
business. at which transfers should
be granted
There are twenty-nine points Of
intersection OF the lines OF the two
competing companies in the city. It
is improbable. however. that trans
fers will be granted at all OF them.
officials of the railways are er-
pected to be at the hearing to look

panies.
