Twenty eight soldiers, natives of
fourteen different countries, all of

unable to speak English at the time

the commission to present this matter

street railway companies from bur-

in the opinion Of the commission.

necessitate a downward revision in
rates of service, which is one reason
for limiting the rates established by
this order to six-months period.
Metal Tickets Accepted.
Following it's order Of October 26.
1918. abolishing the sale Of six tickets
for % cents. the Commission provided
for the sale of metal tickets or tokens
to the federal and District govern
ments for the official use of their en-
ployes at the rate of cents each
(order No. 294). These tokens are ac-
cepted by the street railway COM
panies as cash in payment for in
itial rides and for the purchase of
transfers: in the latter case the rider
is given cents in change by the con-
ductor.
1.-THE commissioners action in provid-
Ing for the sale Of tickets will enable
the government to abandon the use of
these tokens in payment for an ini-
tial ride, only obtaining a sufficient
number of them to be used for the
purchase Of intercompany transfers.
I'm view of the facts in this case
and after careful consideration of the
evidence before it, the commission is
of the opinion that the Washington
Railway and Electric Company, the
City and Suburban Railway of Wash
ington. the Georgetown and Tenley-
town Railway Company and the
Washington-Interu Railroad Com
are In need of financial relief which
can only be obtained through In
