PUBLIC OWNED
CAR LINES SET
BACK IN HOUSE
Minority Report Filed by
House District Committee
Through Chairman.

Public ownership OF the street rail-
ways in the District received an
other setback yesterday in the House
Of Representatives when Chairman
Ben johnson. Of the House District
Committee, filed the minority report
opposing the measure, contending that
there had been no evidence that the
people of the District wanted it pass
ed.
The report declares that the tax
payers of the District do not relish
a proposal to have a bonded indebted
ness of from $4O,0O0,000 to SIS, ,000, 900
saddled upon them to buy properties,
one of which at least did not pay
dividends for seven years.
Chairman Johnson pointed out that
both the Crosser bill and the ma
jority report, written by Representa-
tive Crosser, of Ohio. are practically
reprints Of an earlier bill and report,
and do not fit present needs and con-
ditions.
He also points out the fact that no
hearings were held on this bill. but
that at hearings on an Identical bill
in the Sixty-third Congress only one
of fifteen witnesses stated that 1t was
the wish OF the majority of the people
of the District that the government
ACQUIRE the street railways.
Literally. the report of yesterday
means that the United States gov
ernment is not disposed to make a
present to the District of the public
utilities, owing to the fact that the
Federal government guarantees the
bonds issued by the local govern
ment. which would, have to be issued
for the District to acquire the rail-
ways.
The only criticism of the service
now heard, Chairman johnson re-
marked results from the sudden and
unexpected influx of population, and
the difficulty of getting additional
equipment to accommodate the public,
and skilled labor to operate 1t.
