WILL TRY FENDERLESS
STREET CARS. ON LINES

Washington at last is to have a
tryout Of plan adopted in other
cities. disseminating use of tenders on
street cars.
The Public Utilities Commission has
decided that the Capital Traction and
Washington Railway and Electric
companies may try the experiment on
a line of each system for an. indefi-
mite period. Should it develop the
advantages claimed for it. tenders
will be generally discarded here.
Traction officials say that tenders
are the cause of many accidents.
Wheel guards are said to afford as
much protection. The value Of fend-
ers Is a mooted question. and the COM
mission is collecting data from other
cities in regard to 1t.
Claims of bureau of engraving and
printing employees that the Washing
ton, Railway and Electric Company
discontinued through service on the
bureau lines to secure increased rev.
enue from transfers are discounted in
a report just made to the commission
by Capt. q. M. Potter. engineer OF the
commission.
The Investigation conducted by Capt
Potter is said to have shown some In
terruption to the schedule and regu-
