is not peculiar to the War Depart

WOULD INCREASE FARE
ON ITS SUBURBAN LINES
Washington Railway and Electric
Company Files Petition With In
terstate Commerce Commission.

The Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company and its afiliated lines
have filed an application with the In
terstate Commerce Commission asking
authority to increase the fares on all
their suburban lines in the Maryland
jurisdiction. The matter has also
been presented to the Maryland public
utilities commission. The petition asks
authority to increase the zone rate
from 5 to 6 cents.
The reason for asking such in
creases is the high cost Of material
and labor, similar to the plea made
to the District Of Columbia Public
Utilities Commission and which has
been granted. II the traction COM
pany is authorized to make the asked
for increases commuters will be taxed
20 per cent above the rates they are
now paying.

the Washington and Rockville railway
and the Forest Glen railway.
The greatest increase asked for will
be in the first zone, where an increase
il asked of 20 per cent on the twenty
eight-trip Communication tickets, which
would mean an increase Of 81 per month
on Communication tickets in the first zone,
with a gradual decrease as the outer

would be so cents. The zone tickets
would be as follows: First, $3.50; sec
ond. $5.55; third, $6.6S; fourth, 1890,
and fifth, $3.50. There would be an
increase of something like 20 pc. cent
ON school tickets, making the tariffs on
the trolley lines approximately the same
as on the steam lines, which now charge
10 to 20 per cent more.
