Charges that he believed the Wash .

material to get into its gas mains.

higher than the amount of gas NOV

made before the Public Utilities Com

OF householders OF Takoma Park. who
appeared before the commission to
protest against excessive gas charges.
Mr.. James, who is a civil engineer
produced charts showing his gas con-
sumption for the past six years, on
which his meter readings for Decem-
Der showed a peak" about 200 per

American/ street railways seldom
practice the "zone system"
Mr.. Beeler said he saw no good rea-
son why the WashingtoHVirginia
railway, with its city terminus at
Twelfth street and Pennsylvania av-
enue, should not exchange transfers.
He said that the cars of that company
frequently come into and go outa OF
the city in rush hours without many
passengers: BE believed that free
transfers would help the railway sit
uation here to some extent.
Mr.. Freeland. the treasurer of that
company, objected to transfers on
the ground that the company does
little city business and that too much
city traffic would interfere with
tourist and interstate passengers.
He said also that the revenues Of
the company would be affected and
complications might arise regarding
regulations Of the Interstate Com
merce Commission. He also declared
that congestion. would arise.
John J. Deviny,. representing en-
ployes Of the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing and Department of Agri-
culture. submitted the claims Of
about il 500 employees in behalf of
free transfers at Fourteenth street
and Pennsylvania avenue, and Twelfth
and the Avenue. His forceful talk
appeared to deeply 'fnpres sthe COM
mission. There were many represen-
tstives present from these two big
Government institutions.
Traction Prospered I'm I91S.
That the Capital Traction Company
prospered in 1918 is shown in the
business OF the company submitted
in the annual report to the stock
holders.
The total net income for the year
1918 was $SS0.0S9, an increase of SS1,-
$50 over 1917. After paying dividends
of 6 per cent on capital stock and
interest on the funded debt there was
left surplus Of $160,oSs, the largest
for many years.
The gross revenues for the year
were $3,529,S54, an increase OF S746,-
316 over the preceding year. Oper-
ating expensesh were $2,0S9.o57, all
increase of S549,730 over 1917, indi-
eating the great rise in cost of opera
ton. Taxes were $2S6.990 against
500, ,T07, another large increase.
Despite all this increase the com
pany prospered. 1t has not called as
strongly as the Washington Railway
and Electric Company for further
revenues, but intimated in the free
transfer hearing that if the popula-
ton of Washington decreased and eX-
penses grew heavier, it wanted to be
protected by the Utilities Commission
in additional revenues, il necessary.

OF the company were reelected, head
ed by George Hamilton as president.

mission, what his opinion of the ap-
parent abnormal consumption of gas
was.
81 beg to be excused from answer
ing that question:. he replied, land
1t would lay me open to a libel suit"
The commission declared that there
could be no libel in testimony given
before it, and ordered the witness to
answer the query.
Mr.. James was put under stiff
cross-examination by Ensign Colin
Company. but was unshaken.
In stating the company's side, Ben
s. Minor counsel, said that gas in
Washington compared favorably in
purity, candlepower and British ther-
NAL units with that of any other city
of it's size in the country. He admit
ted that the rates charged the pro-
testants appeared abnormal, but said
the company was empowered by law
to charge according to the meter read
ings.
Blames Coal Shortage.
In attempting to justify the 100
to 200 per cent increase in gas bills
to residents of Takoma Park and
the northeast section of Washington,
Mr.. Minor pointed out that In the
last two years there had been an
increase Of AZ per cent in the amount
Of gas used, and attributed this to
the coal shortage and the return in
November from the daylight saw
ing" plan to normal time.
Mr.. James came back with the
statement that in his family abso-
lutely nc gas is used for lighting.
D. S. Fletcher was chairman of
the delegation and cited complaints.

! sent to the companies paying the

Beeler in this work, that body in turn
paying the expert
Mr.. White, w. NICK. Clayton. Evan
Tucker, and other citizens, questioned
Mr.. Beeler at frequent intervals about
congested conditions on the cars, the
poor SERVICE etc. Mr.. Beeler stated,
among other things, that car service
in all cities Of the country is now bad,
and that congestion was difficult to
overcome. He believed that the re-
turn of Government departments to
their old work hours. instead Of fol-
lowing the STAGGERED hours" plan,
as during the influenza epidemic, will
lead to further congestion.
Mr.. Beeler admitted, in answer to
Mr.. Clayton's questions. that the un-
! seryiceable condition of cars in Wash
ingtoh has much to do with delays in
traffic and with crowding Of cars. He
said that equipment has been neglect
ed owing to inability to get compe-
tent employees.
The Standing Passenger.
Mr.. Clayton wanted to know from
Mr.. Beeler whether passengers who
are compelled to stand should pay as
much as passengers who have seats.
and pressed this idea Mr.. Beeler did
not think that it would be easy to
make one rate for standing passen-
gers and another /for those seated.
General Kutz finally chopped Off this
line Of questioning by ruling it as
not pertinent to the hearing.
Commissioner Gardiner asked some
questions regarding the best policy to
be pursued regarding free transfers II
the finances Of the companies should
really demand increased revenues
whether it would be better to charge
for transfers or increase the fat fare
to all patrons.
Mr.. Gardeners view seemed to he
that ii would be far better to charge
for transfers than be compelled to hn-
pose increased fare on the entire pub-
lie; that Is. that the beneficiaries OF a.
transfer should pay, IL necessary.
lather than raise the fat rate.
Mr.. Beeler thought that would de-
pend on the exact financial condition
Of the companies and the amount OF
money that had to be raised As a
general proposition he preferred free
transfers, with increased rates if
necessary.
Mr.. Beeler. however, announced
himself as favoring the zone sys-
tenn" by which car users will pay
for the mileage they ride. 1t had
been successful In Europe, he said,
even in war times. He admitted that
