SPEED UP WORK ON

The Washington Railway and Elec-

Utilities Commission that the COM
pany making It's motors for the ffty
new cars has promised to speed up
the motors and will send them along
rapidly from now on.
From and including January Il to
and including January Is the total re-
ceipts on all lines of the Washington
Railway and Electric Company were
s77.0o4 For the week OF January 10
to %. including both days, the total
receipts were $s0,675. an increase of
s3.671 for the week, or an average Of
about $5a4 per day.
President Ham believes that re-
-eefpts will be further increased under
the new orders requiring all passen-
gers to enter rear doors of cars. I'm
der the system Of entering front or
rear doors the cohgestion was greatly
increased and the conductors lost
many fares, besides having to press
their way through crowded cars. Un-
der the new rules the conductor will
collect all fares as passengers enter
and remain on the rear platform.
